9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 3: time in the history. It's a bit heartbreaking for our Diamonds, however,

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 3: but fifteen year old Kieva Bray has helped the Sydney

Speaker 1: We are recording on gadigal Land, so Chloe is going

21
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,560

22
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: little boy, which is just all the feels.

23
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 2: He's gorgeous and it's very very exciting.

24
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 3: That big congratulations to miss t FAP herself on becoming

25
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 3: a mother as well as her partner Riley. They're going

26
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: to be amazing mums.

27
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: Oh, it's just they are already and it's just it's

28
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: not hilarious, but it's amazing seeing them going through this

29
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: stage and these obviously you know from first firsthand that

30
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: it's these few weeks are very testing, so.

31
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 3: They are very trying, and it's quite incredible actually being

32
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 3: an athlete and then becoming a mother because you realize

33
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 3: how important routines and consistency is. But Chloe's the type

34
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 3: of person who definitely doesn't like saying no. I think

35
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 3: that's probably going to be the most trying thing for

36
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 3: her over the next few weeks, is to make sure

37
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 3: that she's getting enough rest in and becoming an amazing mum.

38
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, adapt and overcome.

39
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: So other thing that's happening this week it's very exciting

40
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: is it's the final week of TEFAP Awards voting. We've

Speaker 2: The legends that have been nominated.

45
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 3: I've seen a lot of excitement actually around the tea facts,

46
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: across my social media, ie going nuts for it.

47
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: We're doing a pretty we're doing a kind of online

48
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: version this year, but we're looking to make it into

49
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: a bit of a bigger event next year. There was

50
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: something kind of clashed with it this year, like a child.

51
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: So next year be even bigger and better. But this

52
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: year it's been amazing.

53
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: Let's take a look around the grounds. The Jillarus have.

54
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: Kept arch rivals New Zealand scoreless in their fourteenth to

55
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: erl win over the Kiwi Ferns in Week two of

56
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: the Pacific Championships. Despite having sixty percent of the ball

57
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: and the opening twelve minutes, the Kiwi Ferns were unable

58
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: to convert all that possession into points. At the other end,

59
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: the Jilleros also had plenty of chances, but were consistently

60
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: held up by the New Zealand defense. With four minutes

61
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 1: raining the first half, Tarran Aiken earned a repeat set

62
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: with a neat brubber. This allowed the Jillarus to break

63
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: the deadlock when Tiana Pennatani got a shot a short

64
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: ball from Ali briga shaw and powered passer defense to score.

65
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: It was an awesome line from Tiana. She killed it.

66
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: Aikin missed at the conversion and the Deilrius took a

67
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: four neill lead to the break. With nineteen minutes to play,

68
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: Jillarus full back to make it up, then stamped her

69
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: class on the match.

70
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 2: Got She's good with a huge left footstep.

71
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: To bust the line and plant the ball down to

72
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: make it ten nil with Aikins conversion going over. Four

73
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: minutes later, the Jillius struck again in a brilliant offload

74
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: from Milly Elliott put up an into space and just

75
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: Surgiers scored from the ensuing play. The wind sees jill

76
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,399
Speaker 1: Arous lot themselves a place in the Pacific Championship Final

77
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: in two weeks time and get some revenge after the

78
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: Kiwi's beat him last year.

79
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: To meet up in what a name. But if you

80
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 3: look at that lineup that Australia has going into that

81
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,559
Speaker 3: Pacific Championship Final.

82
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: The pretty red hot team.

83
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 3: It is a pretty red hot team.

84
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: And I've said it before and I'll say it again,

85
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: but defense wins trophies. I think it was the first

86
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: time that the Kiwi Ferns had been held scoreless in

87
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: an international, so pretty impressive.

88
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,119
Speaker 3: Absolutely well in netball. I think they got a little

89
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: bit of revenge on that because New Zealand has clinched

90
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 3: the Constellation Cup with a sixty one to forty three

91
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: vick three, beating the Diamonds on home soil for the

92
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,839
Speaker 3: first time since twenty nineteen. Australia went into the game

93
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 3: needing a win to keep hopes of retaining the Cup alive,

94
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 3: but the defense could not find a way to stop

95
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: goal shooter Grace Nawiki, who was shooting at ninety four percent.

96
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: We'll talk about this all the time, but it blows

97
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: my mind about how accurate netball shooters are.

98
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 3: I know. I think when I played basketball, I had

99
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 3: a shooting ACCURACYVE about three percent. Very solid.

100
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: I stand unneath that netball and at least in bust

101
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: we've got a backboard.

102
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 3: I know. So Grace Neweki has really won up to

103
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: me on that one. She's all over you, Ellish, Well,

104
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 3: let's let's let's put our focus back on the Diamonds.

105
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 3: They needed a really quick start after the opening two losses,

106
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 3: but the scores were looked thirteen all at quarter time

107
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 3: and the Aussies had a chance to score two goals

108
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 3: up in the second half, but they missed a shot,

109
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 3: with the Silver Ferns answer answering to lead twenty eight

110
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 3: to twenty six at the main break, so very close game.

111
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 3: The Silver Ferns then came out firing in the third period,

112
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 3: racing to a five goal lead and did not relent

113
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 3: as the errors began to pile up for the Aussies,

114
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: with New Zealand scoring eighteen to Australia's nine in that

115
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 3: quarter to all but finish the game. And it's amazing

116
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 3: to see just how quickly a game can change with

117
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 3: a simple quarter.

118
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 2: Oh for sure, it was.

119
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 3: Smooth sailing for the Ferns from there. They took a

120
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: commanding lead into the final quarter before finishing off the

121
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 3: job for the eighteen goal victory and the Constellation Cup victory.

122
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 3: The victory secured the Cup for New Zealand for only

123
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: the third time in fourteen series. New Zealand coach Nolene

124
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 3: Tarua told media that it's been a long time between drinks.

125
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 3: It's beautiful netball, stunning netball, having a bit of passion

126
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 3: heart backbone. It's a cool story for us to win

127
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 3: here is confidence building and that score line is massive

128
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 3: for us and we're heading in the right direction. So

129
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 3: great to see Nolene being re signed. I think it

130
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: was a good decision and they've made a bit history

131
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 3: this week unfortunately for the Diamonds.

132
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: And took the first trophy from the cabinet that's been

133
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: full for a long time. So it's good to see

134
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: the Ferns coming back because I think they've had a

135
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: bit of a a rough patch there so, but.

136
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 3: We got them in the Pacific Championships for the Juilleries,

137
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 3: that's exactly right into MAFLW news.

138
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: The Bulldogs have ended some killed as hopes of making

139
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: finals with a one point thriller over the weekend. The

140
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: Saints led throughout the first half and stretcher lead to

141
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: fourteen points early in the third quarter, but the Bulldogs

142
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: kicked the next three goals and led by one point

143
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: at the ten minute mark of the final term, which

144
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: would remain at the final score of the game. Two

145
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: Saints players are awarded free kicks in the final ninety seconds,

146
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: but both failed to score as they fell thirty six

147
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: to thirty five to the Doggies. Jessica Fitzgerald started for

148
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: the Western Boardogs, celebrating her fifty game Miles Stone with

149
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: twenty six disposals, six clearances and a goal. There's only

150
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: one round left to finals, so it's exciting times for AFLW.

151
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 3: Very exciting Jess Fitzgerald. She was everywhere, so an incredible

152
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 3: job by the Bulldogs and looking forward to that one.

153
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: Now.

154
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: I played a little bit of hockey last week. Just

155
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 3: last week, I picked up a hockey stick for the

156
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 3: first time and go, look, it's pretty much like golf fixed.

157
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 3: You've got to run around, bending over you.

158
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: I call it running golf all the time, much to

159
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: probably the disgust of our hockey fans. And I do

160
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: apologize it's me being ignorant, but it is a bit

161
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: like running golf, right.

162
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: I know. And I couldn't help myself when I was

163
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 3: Is it called striking the ball? I'd say it's called

164
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 3: stracking the ball.

165
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 2: Go with that.

166
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 3: Every time I struck the ball, you're like Rosie alone.

167
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: That's shout out the Rosies.

168
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 3: Alright, let's get into hockey, because in hockey, defending champions

169
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 3: the Brisbane Blaze have continued their great start to the

170
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 3: hockey season with a four to two win over the

171
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 3: Canberra Trill.

172
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: The Chill, Chill Drill, the Blaze and the Chill they've

173
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: got Cambridge Hills.

174
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 3: I know it's two worlds gliding. The Blaze came out well,

175
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 3: all guns blazing, scoring first courtesy of Savannah Fitzpatrick. But

176
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 3: the Trill, I can't say chill, it's stuck in your

177
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 3: chill struck back immediately to leave the scores all locked

178
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: at one all at the first break. The Chill then

179
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 3: struck again early in the second, with Giselle Ansley notching

180
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 3: upper double. The Blaze pegged one back to bring it

181
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 3: two all, but costly penalties in the third and final

182
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 3: quarter would prove the difference between the two sides. Blaze

183
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 3: coach Nikki Taylor told media that this is just the

184
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 3: beginning for the Blaze. She said there were still lots

185
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 3: to like again, but there are still some areas where

186
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 3: we can get better. We still need to work on

187
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 3: our consistency, but there have been good quarters and some

188
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 3: that are not so good. I think, you know that's

189
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 3: pretty important for every team, is consistency, particular at a

190
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 3: high level. I think that's the thing that always makes

191
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 3: the difference between the best in the You gotta play wood.

192
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: Spiders, yeah, or four quarters in WBBL. It's back.

193
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: Very exciting that the Sydney Sixers have beaten the Melbourngaineourne

194
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: Melbourn Gaine the Melbourne Renegades in the opening round of

195
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: the WBL BBL with just six balls to spare, courtesy.

196
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: Of their fifteen year old debutante well year nine Yeah wild.

197
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: The Renegade set the six as a target of one

198
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy eight with the help of Georgia Wareham,

199
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: who smashed four sixers in her sixty one from thirty

200
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: one balls to lay the foundation for Melbourne, but debutante

201
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: Kiva overcame a nervy start with the ball to claim

202
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: the big breakth through wicket of powerful West Indies bat

203
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: DeAndre Dotton for her maiden WBBL wicket. It was pretty crazy.

204
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: It was great scenes afterwards. They all got around her. So, yeah, fifteen,

205
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: she's only turned fifteen last month too.

206
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 3: It's a huge moment. And you've got to think nine

207
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 3: at school?

208
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: What were you doing in nine school? As you're probably

209
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: achieving a lot. That's wrong question to wrong person. I

210
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: definitely wasn't.

211
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 3: Well, you don't I'm curious.

212
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 1: I have to say, no, one knows a lot of

213
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: study in blank that time out a fifteen, I'm started

214
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: playing rugby actually in the open comp But yeah, that's

215
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: about it. That definitely wasn't doing anything at a high level.

216
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 2: But Kieva is.

217
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: The Sixers went into bat and Elise Perry did what

218
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: she does, lay the groundwork with a blistering eighty one

219
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: from thirty eight balls. The Sixers were cruising in pursuit

220
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 1: of the Renegades eight for one seventy eight total, but

221
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: fell into a little bit of a hole, losing five

222
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: for twenty six after pairs got dismissed. But then, as

223
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: we said, Kieva Bray came. She combined with Sarah Brice

224
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: to help the Sixers home with six balls to spare.

225
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: Ray told Channel seven and I love this, she said,

226
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting for it to go that well. It

227
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: literally is a dream come true. Perry gave me my

228
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: cap before the game and I was crying a little bit,

229
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: maybe more than a little bit.

230
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 3: Well, you got to think about how long Elise Perry

231
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 3: has been around. You know, she's probably been playing since

232
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 3: before Kiva was even born. Definitely so to be able

233
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 3: to receive a cap from a legend. It's amazing. I

234
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 3: remember receiving my first cap and it was a literal

235
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 3: swim cap, so it was an actual cap. It's a

236
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 3: huge moment, particularly in cricket. You know, you see cricket

237
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 3: players receiving their caps and you know the look of

238
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 3: pride that comes over their faces.

239
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a massive moment.

240
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: And I think, like you said, playing not only receiving

241
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: it from release Paio, but then going on and playing

242
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: alongside her. It's just a pinchy moment, isn't it. Like

243
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: You're just like, Wow, this is the going and I'm

244
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: playing with her.

245
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 3: I know, and Kieva Brady is going to be the

246
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 3: most popular person at school. I'd be walking straight into

247
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 3: the schoolgates my cricket bat and cap on.

248
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: One hundred, let's go into the Tillies.

249
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 3: I wake up very early for this one. They've done

250
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 3: their next footballing window with a one to one draw

251
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 3: to Switzerland and Zurich, so first time that the two

252
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 3: sides have met, and both sides traded chances in the

253
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 3: first half in what was a tight and very tense affair.

254
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 3: Ford had the first real start on goal in the

255
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 3: fourteenth minute, she wasn't able to wrap her boot around

256
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 3: the ball to get a clean strike on target, and

257
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 3: in the final few minutes of the first half, Mackenzie

258
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 3: Arnold was forced into a fantastic stave after the Swiss

259
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 3: played in behind the Tillis defense, but it was Australia

260
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 3: who would capitalize. Moments later, a fantastic bending ball from

261
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 3: Ellie Carpenter found the run on Ford, who only had

262
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 3: the goalkeeper to beat. Ford was prevented from having a

263
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 3: shot after being brought down by the Swiss keeper.

264
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: She got her good, she got a credit.

265
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: I mean, if you get a foul like, make sure

266
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: she's not going to be a shot on goals, so

267
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: play on.

268
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you no choice really then exactly However, she

269
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 3: made no mistake in converting the penel that she won,

270
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 3: giving the Matildas the lead in the break. Switzerland came

271
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 3: out determined to equalize after the break in front of

272
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 3: their home fans, turning up the pressure on the Australia's defense.

273
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 3: They found their breakthrough in the fifty eighth minute. The

274
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 3: ball fell to the feet of Geraldine Rutella after ricocheting

275
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 3: around Australia's penalty area and the score was leveled at

276
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 3: one one, where it did remain for the rest of

277
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 3: the match. Now, I think all eyes were on this

278
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 3: match because interim head coach Tom Somani was setting up

279
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 3: for the Matildas and he said that he was a

280
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 3: little bit disappointed with the quality of the goal that

281
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 3: we gave away. He said, I thought tonight was very

282
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 3: messy defensively from us. We certainly need to step up

283
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 3: based on tonight's performance. But tonight was the first time

284
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 3: with the team for a while, and the game in

285
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 3: the Germany game I think will be an entirely different game.

286
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 2: I would you see how they bounce back to.

287
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: That game is very early tomorrow morning for four o'clock

288
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: the morning out another early alarm time. But I mean,

289
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: obviously Germany, I think they just beat England over the

290
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: last week or something, so they're in good form.

291
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 2: So I would interest see how we go against that.

292
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's going to be a really very high standard game,

293
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 3: and with Tom Somani stepping in, you know, there's a

294
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 3: lot of change for the Matildas that are coming.

295
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 2: I liked Ellie.

296
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: Carpenter during the week kind of putting yourself out there

297
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: and saying, you know, we're ranked currently fifteenth in the

298
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: world and that's not good enough and we need to

299
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: be better abolutely.

300
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 3: And I'm wondering as well how the team has transitioned

301
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 3: after the pressure of the Women's World Cup. You know,

302
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 3: obviously they put all of their eggs in one basket

303
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 3: for the Women's World Cup, and it's hard to do

304
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 3: that consistently year after year. So I think there'll be

305
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 3: a lot of change coming from the Matildas make guests anyway.

306
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 2: Exciting times.

307
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: Speaking of exciting WNBA, I know I've banged on about

308
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: this for the last couple of weeks, but that final

309
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: series was next level and I.

310
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 3: Can't believe it.

311
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: It did happen a week ago, but I need to

312
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: we need to speak about it. So let's revisit at

313
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:56,599
Speaker 1: Game five, sold out stadium in Brooklyn, and one of

314
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: the things that came out of this post the nuclear

315
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: his win, was that only two years ago they were

316
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: playing in a basically a college gym that held two

317
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,599
Speaker 1: thousand people. In two years time, then they're playing in

318
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 1: front of twenty thousand people in Brooklyn.

319
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 3: What's been the biggest change in bringing these crowds in.

320
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: I think A part of that was, well, they got

321
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: new ownership, and that new oroship said, let's put you

322
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: in a bigger stadium.

323
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: This is silly, and look what happen.

324
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: They put him in a bigger stadium and the people

325
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: game and obviously they bought well, so they recruited Berwanno Stewart.

326
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: So Brunosque was always there, but they bought some big names,

327
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: so they invested in the in some big names. They

328
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: put him in a bigger stadium, and look what happens.

329
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: Winning obviously helps to yes, So New Liberty they came

330
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: away with a sixty seven to sixty two overtime wins.

331
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: So the second overtime game out of the five match

332
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: final series was six point three seconds left in regulation.

333
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 2: The Liberty had the ball and they were down sixty

334
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 2: to fifty eight.

335
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: Briana Stewart was fouled by Alana Smith, which the Lynks

336
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: Ozzie Alana Smith. The Lynx challenged that call and looking

337
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: at it in isolation, for me, it wasn't a foul,

338
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: but I guess depending on how they called the game.

339
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: They felt they called the game for the whole match,

340
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: maybe it was a foul, but anyway, the referees found

341
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: a foul there. Stewart hit both free throws to tire

342
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: the game at sixty all and the game went to overtime.

343
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: It was a Liberty who got the job done and

344
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: won their first w NBA title in franchise history, and

345
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: the game was watched was the sorry. The game was

346
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: the most view WNBA Finals game in twenty five years,

347
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: with viewership peaking at three point three million during the match.

348
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: And it's worth noting that at the same time, the

349
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: final of the ACLS Baseball was on and there was

350
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: an NFL game on at the same time, so we're

351
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: talking about a pretty decent sized viewership crowd there in

352
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: competition on a Sunday night, so pretty cool.

353
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 3: And huge numbers as well. I'm really looking forward to

354
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 3: seeing next year with the WNBA how the players are

355
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 3: put forward commercially. I saw I saw a t fat

356
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 3: post a couple of days ago about the most commercial

357
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 3: commercially viable. I suppose female athletes Simone Biles being the first,

358
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 3: and I think Petland Clark, yeah.

359
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: She was like third or yeah.

360
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 3: I think we're going to be seeing a lot more

361
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 3: players who are stepping into that light, which is really exciting.

362
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 2: It's so exciting. Let's take a look at the key story.

363
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: The Rugby League Players Association or RLPA, has asked the

364
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: NRL for additional payments for NROLW players who feature in

365
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: Thursday evening matches, claiming their players deserve compensation for taking

366
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: time off their day jobs. It comes as the NROLW

367
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: is officially classed as a part time competition. So this

368
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: is an interesting thing and I can kind of speak

369
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: to this from a rugby union point of view as well.

370
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: The Super Women's is also a part time competition and

371
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: when we play on Fridays and all Thursdays, we don't

372
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: have Thursday matches, but the girls take the day off.

373
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: You know, they all have jobs, The large majority of

374
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: them have jobs, and there's not many of them that

375
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: go to work on that day. At the very least,

376
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: they're working till kind of noon and then rushing to

377
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: get to the game, so most of them take that

378
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: day off. So it's a pertinent discussion to be had

379
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: about is there some kind of compensation for these part

380
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: time players having to take an extra day off work

381
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: to play. So RLPA general manager Jamie Burer says, Thursday

382
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: fixtures remain a long term concern for NERLW players if

383
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: they are not from the state of for needy to

384
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: take more time off work from their primary income. None

385
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: of the three Thursday fixtures in the twenty twenty four

386
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 1: season involved teams in different states playing each other, so

387
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: they didn't have to jump on a plane. Jamie Brewer

388
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: when to say, players have no issue with playing Thursday

389
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: night games in theory as it provides consistency for the

390
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: fans with rugby league on that night, and it gives

391
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: the NROLW clubs and players a prime time slot to

392
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: showcase their talent.

393
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's certainly an interesting discussion to be had. I

394
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 3: think a lot of us are looking at this from

395
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 3: you know, they're taking the day off work, so of

396
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 3: course they should be compensated. But as well as all

397
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 3: of the travel and commitment that a player needs to

398
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 3: have to the NROLW club, it's also timeway from home,

399
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 3: time away from family. You know, it requires compensation. But

400
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 3: you know, this isn't an interesting case. Technically, the request

401
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 3: for extra payment is outside the existing collected collective bargaining

402
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 3: agreement the RLPA agreed with the nrl last year. But

403
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 3: this is why these bargaining agreements need to be ever evolving,

404
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 3: They need to be revisited regularly, and it comes as

405
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 3: the league will expand from ten to twelve teams in

406
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, with Canterbury a new addition to the

407
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 3: league and the Warriors returning to the competition for the

408
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 3: first time since twenty twenty. This is a quote, but

409
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 3: before going ahead with an increase in them, or even

410
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 3: scheduling those fixtures, we believe that conversation needs to be

411
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 3: secured and guaranteed. Another request from the RLPA is for

412
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 3: the NRL to consider putting on more double headers with

413
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 3: NRL fixtures and requested that no games kickoff before midday

414
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 3: on Saturday or Sunday to allow junior players to attend.

415
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 3: Mister Biras says NRLW players are comfortable having double headers

416
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 3: or clashes with NRL fixtures because the alternative was a

417
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 3: shorter schedule where each team only played ten of the

418
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,719
Speaker 3: eleven teams. He said that a double header or clash

419
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 3: is better than playing no game at all. They believe

420
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 3: the more games they can play the better.

421
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: A pretty solid summation there from Jamie Bureer. I think

422
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: the girls do want to play more games, like they

423
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: want to have a long, consistent season that is worthwhile,

424
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: and they want to play every team like I think

425
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: what we're seeing at the AFLW right now. It's still

426
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: problematic in that they all a teen teams don't play

427
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: each other one so it's not really a fair competition.

428
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: But there has to be, as we said, some kind

429
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 1: of compensation for the fact that these unlike the NRL

430
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: men's players it's their full time job. This is not

431
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: their full time job, so if they're taking time off work,

432
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: it needs to be accounted for in their salaries for sure.

433
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 2: And I think the double header question is quite interesting.

434
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 2: How do you feel. I don't mind a double header.

435
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 1: I think it's it's it does a job in regards

436
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: to people being able to go and watch all their

437
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 1: ouber league at the same place. I don't want a

438
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: clash because ANW does have its own fans, So I

439
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: think I think the key thing is they need to

440
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 1: play the whole eleven games. Whole eleven teams absolutely make

441
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: it work in the window that it's that it's designated to,

442
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: and whether that's hopefully made up of a combination of

443
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: double headers and clashes so be it. Yeah, I think

444
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 1: I think actually doubleheaders are really positive for the game.

445
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: You know, you have people that watch rugby league, regardless

446
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: of whether it's men's or women's, who just love the game.

447
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: For myself, going to sporting events, I find the transit

448
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 1: to sporting events really annoying, to be honest, And so

449
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 1: if I was at one game and I didn't need

450
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: to go anywhere for the next game, I would of

451
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: course stay on and vice versa. You know, if I

452
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: was going for an NLW game, I'd probably go a

453
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: little bit earlier to see the boys play too.

454
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think they're really positive. But I think

455
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 3: the discussion around this, I think it really depends on

456
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 3: how you're seeing this. If you're seeing this as the

457
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 3: NRLW having their own fans, then yeah, of course we

458
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 3: have our own fans and they're going to stick around

459
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 3: for the men's matches. But I think there's a lot

460
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 3: of people out there who are saying, oh, we need

461
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 3: to put double headers on to try and get more

462
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 3: people that are going to the men's matches to then

463
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 3: go to the women's which kind of puts a bit

464
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 3: of a negative exactly, are you argument we can stand

465
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 3: our own two faces. You know, I don't have two

466
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 3: feet and I can still stand, so.

467
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly right.

468
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: How you how you frame the argument in regards to

469
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: double headers being beneficial for both parties. I think that's

470
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: you know, ultimately what it is. Both the men's and

471
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: women's team enjoy playing double headers. I know, again speaking

472
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: for experience, the Warrior Tis blokes love it when we

473
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: play double headers.

474
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 3: It's going to be mutually beneficial exactly regardless of how

475
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 3: you look at it.

476
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: And yeah, I think in regards to compensation, you know,

477
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: they're saying a movie is unlikely to sit well with

478
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: the NURL, which has made a conscious effort to maximize

479
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: Nerdow's exposure with broadcast slots on the game's freeware broadcaster

480
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: with a nine network with earlier kickoff times. So we

481
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: talked about those kickff times. We haven't quite touched on that,

482
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: but they played some pretty early games this year, and

483
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: it's quite important to understand that, you know, young fans

484
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: are out playing their own sport at that time of

485
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: the day. That's the reason that a lot of those

486
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: kickoffs are moved till later in the afternoon is so

487
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: that you know, you can go and play your junior

488
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: sport and then go watch your heroes play their sport.

489
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: So I think the pre lunchtime pictures need to be scrapped.

490
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 2: Just quite an I'll get rid of that.

491
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. And I think these conversations and they need to

492
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 3: be had. Especially these things, especially when something's building so quickly,

493
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 3: need to be revisited quite regularly. It's not as though,

494
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 3: you know the NROL I would hope has put the

495
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 3: games on early. They just went thinking, I don't think,

496
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 3: but absolutely that needs most clear.

497
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at what to watch.

498
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 3: Yes, what's coming up this week? We have the Matildas

499
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 3: on ground again. The Tillies take on their second international

500
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,800

511
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,600
