Speaker 1: Welcome to the RAP, a weekly podcast covering women's sports news. Bears,

2
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: what have we got around the grounds this week?

3
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 2: The Tillies pulled through late in Game one of the

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 2: Olympic qualifiers, Tasmanian Tigers win their third WNCEEL title in

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 2: a row, and the London Marathon will become the first

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: major marathon event to award equal prize money for ablebodied

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: and wheelchair athletes.

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 3: We love to see it, so good for the key story.

9
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: We're going to chat in a little bit more detail

10
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: around the Football Australia report that came out last week

11
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: that goes into a huge amount of detail about the

12
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: Legacy twenty three strategy that showed that the World Cup

13
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: generated one point three two billion dollars of.

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 3: Economic impact B billion.

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: With a B.

16
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: We love to see it and why was that, Chloe,

17
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: Because you should invest in women's sport.

18
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 3: Carry on, We're recording on gadagal Land.

19
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: My name is Chloe Dalton and I'm joined every week

20
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 1: on the show by my co host Bez. Let's take

21
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: look around the grounds.

22
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 2: In some cycling news, Gracie Hemstreet has made history at

23
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: the Red Bull hard Line in at Tasmania, becoming the

24
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: first woman to complete the course ever. Red Will Hardline

25
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 2: is the world's toughest mountain bike race, where races fly

26
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: downhill at crazy speeds through the most technical terrain, divided

27
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: by huge gaps, massive drops and a seventy foot cender.

28
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 4: What do we think of sender is clo.

29
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 3: I don't know.

30
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the messages we get from the

31
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: genuine mountain bikers to explain it to us. But I

32
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: reckon it's like there's a big jump where there's a

33
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: gap coming up and you're like, you just got to

34
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: send out.

35
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 3: Good.

36
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 4: I'm here for it to sending it all the time

37
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 4: you are.

38
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: The downhill race is an invite only event for the

39
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: most progressive mountain bikers in the world. Two women were

40
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: invited to compete at the hard Line in Wales in

41
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, but neither of them completed the course.

42
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: I don't think they died or anything, they just didn't finish.

43
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: This is the first time that women have qualified for

44
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: the finals and ever completed the course.

45
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 4: So amazing effort from Gracie how Good.

46
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: In football game, one of the Olympic qualifiers in Uzbekistan

47
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: was not the most convincing performance from the Tillies, but

48
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: a solid three nil victory puts the Aussies in a

49
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: really strong position ahead of Game two. It was a

50
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: fairy tale return to the side for Michelle Hayman, who

51
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: had retired from international football and was back in a

52
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: Matilda shirt for the first time.

53
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 3: In six years. Fairy tales, fairy tales, what dreams are

54
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 3: made of.

55
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: After a slow start from the Tillies, Hayman broke the

56
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: nil all deadlock in the seventy third minute and the

57
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: floodgates swiftly opened. Mary Fowler was next to find the

58
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: back of the net and Caitlin Ford made it three

59
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: zip when she finished a perfect.

60
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 3: Cross from Steph Catley.

61
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: Wednesday is an almost sold out match at Marvel Stadium.

62
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: To punch the Tillies ticket to Paris. Bring it on cricket.

63
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: The Tazzy Tigers have won a third WNCL title on

64
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: the Trots. That's the fifty over game in the domestic

65
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 2: side of the sport. Nicola Kerrey scored a crucial one

66
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: hundred and eleven from one hundred and thirty five balls

67
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: to secure a six wicket win over Queensland in the final.

68
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 2: The Tasmanians were chasing two forty nine, but with Kerry

69
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: at the crease, it always looked under control.

70
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 4: It's a bit of a dynasty developing down there in Tazzy.

71
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: It's there's a few sports sokos going on about teams

72
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: that have created some dynasties. I reckon the Tazzy Tigers

73
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: should be up there shortly. Love it in surfing. Molly

74
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: Picklam aka Picklesiggles pig Girls.

75
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 4: I love Pickles.

76
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 3: It's such a good nickname, isn't it.

77
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 4: I also love pickles. I just we love pickles a.

78
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 3: Lot, a lot salty, briny goodness, so good.

79
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: She defended the real Pickles defended her Sonset Beach title

80
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: last week, defeating Hawaiian Betty Lee Secura Johnson in the final.

81
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: Picklum won the final and also earned the yellow jersey

82
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: after the first two stops of the season. She served

83
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: what was arguably the wave of the event in the

84
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: semi final, pulling into a huge wave and nailing a

85
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: critical maneuver which was duly awarded with a nine point

86
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: six seven.

87
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 4: That was an epic wave off the back.

88
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: Of Was it only a week earlier that she scored

89
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: the perfect tenant pipe. She's in good form, isn't she?

90
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 4: And she's calling it to how good.

91
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

92
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: Her reflection in the last few weeks in Hawaii was

93
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: really pretty special. She said, we'll look back and realize

94
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,799
Speaker 1: how big this moment is and the push for women

95
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: that we're doing right now. The next gen in surfing

96
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: I hear, and they're doing some pretty mind blowing things

97
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: on the biggest waves in the world, aren't there.

98
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 4: It's very exciting.

99
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 2: Into rugby union news, the Australian seventh team missed out

100
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: on the final in Vancouver, going down by two points

101
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 2: twenty one nineteen to the French in the semi Oh.

102
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 3: It was a bit of heartbreak watching this morning.

103
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 4: It was a rough watch. They looked absolutely cooked by

104
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 4: the end of it.

105
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 2: Yeah. They did such a punishing sport and I think so.

106
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: It was the first It's the first final the Aussies

107
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: will have missed this season and once again discipline is

108
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: an issue. The team played much of the tournament short

109
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 2: on squad members. I had two injuries leading up to

110
00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: the tournament and then Madis n ash Bear got a

111
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: red card in game one and missed four games, and

112
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 2: then Teak and Levi also was just given a four

113
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: game suspension. I think that was on review.

114
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 4: I don't know.

115
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 2: Shows still given a red card in the match. I

116
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 2: think it was a judiciary review after that also suspended

117
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 2: for another for four games, and both for high contacts.

118
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 4: So they're really going to have to look into.

119
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 2: Their tackle height before stop five of the seventh Circuit,

120
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: which takes place next weekend in Los Angeles.

121
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: In a bit of long distance athletics situation news, the

122
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: London Marathon will become the first major marathon event to

123
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: award equal prize money for able bodied and wheelchair athletes.

124
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: Australian legend and two time London Marathon champion Madison Dirazario,

125
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: friend of t FAPP, shared some poignant truths with media

126
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: after the announcement. This quote was so good, bears, Wasn't

127
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: it so good? We often say that sport is a

128
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: mirror to society, but it can also be the starting

129
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: point for much larger change, and that's what the London

130
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: Marathon is doing here. This decision doesn't just affect the

131
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: athletes lining up in London in April. It has an

132
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: overflow effect to not just how every other event values

133
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: athletes with a disability but how we view the fifteen

134
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: percent of the global population living with disability. Sport has

135
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: an enormous responsibility to community and the London Marathon is

136
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: at the forefront of doing that justice. Mic drop, that

137
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: is straight fire from Maddie. That is it's yeah, we

138
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: need to get that up on our socials because that

139
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: is a seriously powerful statement, isn't it?

140
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 4: Intelligent? Fact based just all the good things, all the

141
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 4: good things.

142
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: So what it actually means this changes that wheelchair race

143
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: winners will earn fifty five thousand US dollars when crossing

144
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: the line and massive well done to the organizers for

145
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: leading the way in that space.

146
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: In basketball, the WNBO regular season has come to an

147
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 2: end and the finals have been set. Heartbreakingly, the Sydney

148
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 2: Flame season is over after losing ninety to seventy eight

149
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 2: to the towns Will Fire in Townsill on Sunday night.

150
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 3: Oh heartbreak. I know that had a strong back end

151
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 3: to the season. I thought they were going to get

152
00:06:59,080 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 3: it done.

153
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,119
Speaker 2: Missed out that lost saw them finish fifth, just behind

154
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: the Perth Links.

155
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 4: More on final time and want to watch.

156
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 3: Let's take a look at the key story.

157
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 4: So some more football news.

158

160
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,080

Speaker 2: continued investment, continued investment and support to build on the

162
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 2: success and momentum of the FEFA Women's World Cup in

163
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: Australia and New Zealand twenty twenty three and further elevate

164
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: Australia's vision on the global football arena.

165
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: Can you keep going because I'm bringing up the Legacy

166
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: document while we discussed this.

167
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: All right, So the World Cup was obviously there was

168
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: a lot of press about the world The World Cup

169
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: was the first women's event to break even. And it's

170
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: interesting when you talk about breaking even, there's a lot

171
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: of major sporting events in the world that lose money.

172
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 4: Most of them do.

173
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think an Olympics has broken even since

174
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 2: Sydney two thousand.

175
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: Is that really the last time it's done it?

176
00:07:58,960 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 4: That was the last one?

177
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 3: Wow?

178
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: I said that with a lot of authority. That was

179
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: based on just a gut feeling.

180
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 3: I back your gut, fielder, and I'm pretty sure Yeah, I'm.

181
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: Pretty sure that Sidney two thousand was the last Olympics

182
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 2: to break even. So to have this Women's World Cup

183
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 2: break even, it's a lot more monumental than it sounds.

184
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 4: And not only that, the report stated that the.

185
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: Economic impact to Australia was in the tune of one

186
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: point three two billion dollars, And there's a huge It

187
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 2: is huge, And so there were some really important key takeaways,

188
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: which I love a takeaway, but here are some of

189
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 2: the most important ones.

190
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:34,599
Speaker 4: I love this.

191
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 2: Two million people attended the competition games in person and

192
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: they reckon twenty sorry, seventy percent of the Australian population

193
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 2: watched the tournament.

194
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 3: That is just a huge amount.

195
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: And whenever I'm at an event or something these days

196
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: and you ask, every single person puts up their hand.

197
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: Maybe they feel the sense of peer pressure as well.

198
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: But who are you that thirty percent?

199
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, who are the thirty percent? People without televisions.

200
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 3: Must be.

201
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: There were over eighty six thousand international visitors who attended

202
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: the World Cup.

203
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 4: All spending good money in our cities.

204
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Football Australia has locked more than three hundred and

205
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: ninety eight million dollars in federal and state government funding

206
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: for Legacy twenty three related initiatives. I wanted to just

207
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: touch on from the report that I took a while

208
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: to bring up before.

209
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 3: In the report they actually talked.

210
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: About the investment gap, so talks about the fact that

211
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: Football Autralia is committed to working with all levels of

212
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: government and other sporting codes to address the two point

213
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: nine billion dollar gap in facility investment across Australia.

214
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 4: Huge, isn't it.

215
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: It's a really big gap, isn't it.

216
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 2: And you know, obviously everyone, everyone that's playing any kind

217
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 2: of community sport can see where there are huge deficiencies

218
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 2: in our facilities. And we're talking female changing rooms, you know,

219
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: female friendly facilities in general, so that that gap like that,

220
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: these this legacy funding needs to really look at those

221
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 2: kind of things.

222
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.

223
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: And we often talk about the statistic about fifty percent

224
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: of girls dropping out of sport by the age of

225
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: seven teen. When you rock up to play local sport,

226
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: whatever code you're playing, if you don't have.

227
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 4: Fitting change on the sideline. Yeah, ever happened.

228
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: Many times, many many times, like that can be a

229
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: huge factor in deterring girls from continuing to play sport.

230
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: Massive the Matilda's generated and this is a big one.

231
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: A media value of two point seven eight billion, huge, massive,

232
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 2: it's so huge. I saw a quick glimpse of the

233
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,239
Speaker 2: ratings from Saturday nights Game one qualifier.

234
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 3: Yeap.

235
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 2: Besides, I think the two news which will always rate

236
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: first Tilly's number three, the lank Channel nine and Channel

237
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 2: ten news or something we wanted too, which is always

238
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 2: the way.

239
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 3: Oh don't love the news, but.

240
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: No, yeah, you know, top of the top of the

241
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 2: ranks for everything else. And it just shows that the investment,

242
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 2: Like look at that ROI.

243
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 3: It's so good, and I'm just on the continuing I

244
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 3: guess on that coverage point. Looking at the Instagram growth

245
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 3: as well, They've had three hundred and thirty five million

246
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 3: social media your impressions, they gained four hundred and eighty

247
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 3: six thousand followers on Instagram, Like that is just absolutely huge.

248
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 3: An engagement rate of seven point five percent, which doesn't

249
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 3: sound like a huge amount, but in terms of comparing

250
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 3: to industry standard, it's very good. Engagement rate like just

251
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 3: starts all over the place.

252
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: All the stats and this is a really interesting one

253
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 2: that I think that sometimes we kind of lose sight

254
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 2: of when we're talking about elite level sport. That visibility piece,

255
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 2: the fact that young girls can see these athletes excelling

256
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: on a massive stage. The tournament said to have decreased

257
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 2: healthcare costs by three hundred and twenty four million dollars

258
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 2: due to increased physical activity in society, So that obviously

259
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 2: that's a pretty It's an interesting stat how they actually

260
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 2: come to that, but I'd say they must be looking

261
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: at the amount of new registrations for young girls playing

262
00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 2: sport and what kind of impact that has on someone's health.

263
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just love that. It's so important.

264
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: I feel like every time I'm down at the park

265
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: doom I running at the moment there is multiple young

266
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: girls kicking the footy.

267
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 4: In Tillie shirts.

268
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the best.

269
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: One of the cool things I think off the back

270
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: of this is that Football Australia amy to become the

271
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: host of the Women's Asian Cup in twenty twenty six,

272
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: which means we might have another chance to watch them

273
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: multiple times on home soil. And you know what they say, Bez,

274
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: what do they say, invest in women's sports?

275
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 2: Invest Let's say, look at what to watch Game two

276
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: of the Tilly's Olympic qualifies with Yuzbekistan is this Wednesday

Speaker 2: night at a packed Marble Stadium.

278
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 4: I think there's only very limited tickets left. They did

279
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 4: say it was sold out, you know how they kind

280
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 4: of tend to release.

281
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,800
