Let us know what you think. 26 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 3: Throw us some stars. 27 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I reckon, Yeah, I like stars. I like stars. 28 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: Let's take a look around the grounds. In soccer, the 29 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: Matildas went down in game one of their two match 30 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: friendly series to Canada one nill on Saturday at Suncorp Stadium. 31 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: Twenty five and sixteen supporters saw the Matildas play some 32 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: great soccer in patches, but failed to capitalize on the 33 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: opportunities in front of goal. It was the Canadians who 34 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: opened the scoring in the twelfth minute when Adriana Leon 35 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: smashed the ball from outside the area into the top 36 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: corner after it failed clearance from the Matilda's defense, and 37 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: despite having more possession and more shots on goal, the 38 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: Matildas could not get the ball past the Canadians. Samker 39 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: alone had seven attempts thwarted and the Canadian goalkeeper Kaylin 40 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: sheared and was arguably the player of the match. Was 41 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: she named player of the match? 42 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 3: No, Lydia Williams was. It was a goalkeeper fest. 43 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: Keep her off. 44 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 3: I reckon. They probably just could have shared it. 45 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: We're not here for participation awards. 46 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 3: Koala's share things. 47 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: Matilda's coach Tony Gustavsen said afterwards that a game like 48 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 1: this is most likely going to be decided on conversion 49 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: rate in goal zones. You said research bed said, conversation 50 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: rate that you would be your conversation rate if you 51 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: were in front of goals. I can pledge that very high. 52 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 2: How do we rate a conversation rate? Does it have 53 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 2: to be two way? Because often I talk and no 54 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 2: one listened. Nobody. 55 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: Back to the quote, we had a lot of focus 56 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: in training on finding the final pass and finishing. It's 57 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: just one of those days. Sometimes in another game we 58 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: score three and we win the game. We've seen it 59 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: before over and over again, not just for us but 60 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: in the game of football. But it's definitely something we 61 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: need to work on. 62 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 3: It's a frustrating part about soccer, isn't it. 63 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: That's probably the thing that I find the most frustrating. 64 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: And I don't know how sometimes football fans are so 65 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: loyal and passionate because it's not always the best team 66 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: on the day that wins. 67 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 2: Nope, we can have all of all all the opportunities 68 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 2: and then the other team goes up the other end 69 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 2: and just flukes one. Yeah, not saying that the Canadians did, 70 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 2: but it does. I'm partial here at DIFA does happen 71 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 2: and yeah it is. People put a lot of time 72 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 2: and effort into the sport and sometimes, like you said, 73 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 2: it's not the best team that gets the chocolates. 74 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: There's just over ten months until the twenty twenty three 75 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: World Cup starts, and the Matildas are desperate to get 76 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: quality game time together against quality opponents Canada and the 77 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: Tokyo twenty twenty Olympic gold medalists, and are currently ranked 78 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: seventh in the world, so the quality opposition is there. 79 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: Game two tonight Tuesday night would be a great chance 80 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: to see if the Matildas can review where things went 81 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: wrong on Saturday and make the required adjustments to level 82 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: the series. I'm a bit devastated because I got training 83 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: on and I'd really like to go and watch them play. 84 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 3: I hate it when your job gets in the way 85 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 3: of fun. 86 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: T FAP is also my other job, though you know, 87 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: I can't come to training. I've got worked, I've got 88 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: some more LA research to do. 89 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 2: In paddling, Jess Fox finished off her World Cup season 90 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 2: on the weekend with some mixed results in Spain in 91 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 2: the K one. Fox actually missed out on qualification for 92 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 2: the ten woman final by one place and watched on 93 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 2: as world champion. Ricarda Funk Love that name Lover of 94 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 2: Germany took the last race of the season with an 95 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 2: ERA free run, but the paddlegat had done enough to 96 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 2: secure the overall champion champion result. After winning the seasons 97 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 2: four other World Cup K one races in. 98 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 3: The C one, Fox qualified for the final the fastest. 99 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 2: She absolutely tore down the course, but couldn't replicate that 100 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 2: run in the final and finished tenth again. She missed 101 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 2: some gates and just such a chaotic sport. 102 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: Someone actually messaged me on Instagram that the miss the 103 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,119 Speaker 1: gate penalty is fifty seconds, not nine seconds. 104 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 3: I'll do it. That'll get you that result. 105 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 2: Met Fox finished sixth overall in the C one For 106 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,239 Speaker 2: the season. Fox was stoked with her K one victory 107 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 2: and said it's been an amazing season. I'd have loved 108 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 2: to have been in the mix for the K one final, 109 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 2: Unfortunately I was only eleventh place, but I'm proud of 110 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 2: the season I've had and thrilled to take the overall. 111 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 2: It's been a super strong season from the girls and 112 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 2: this final today it was a pleasure to watch. 113 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 3: Well done, Jess your. 114 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: A legend in AFLW. The Demons took to the MCG 115 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: on Friday night and hung on to win their second 116 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: match of the season over North Melbourne. The Kangaroos were 117 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: immense in defense and it took some late Alyssa Bannon 118 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: heroics to secure the win for the Demons three goals 119 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: eight twenty six to the rus accurate four goals zero. 120 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: Is that how you say that? 121 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 3: I feel you should not? Mill Nudder twenty four. 122 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: Daisy Pierce kicked two goals in the first half and 123 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: in her fiftieth game, Kangaroo's vice captain Emma King kicked 124 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: the opening goal of the game, then slotted one late 125 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: to edge Ruse in front with minutes remaining. The Demons 126 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: didn't lie down enough to two wins against solid opposition. 127 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: The flag favorite tag looks to be sitting nicely on 128 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: their shoulders. There was a big derby between Carlton and Essendon. 129 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: A lot of emotions in that one that you could 130 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,799 Speaker 1: actually see from some of the Carlton players. Blue Stars 131 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: Mattie Prosparkus and Georgia g left Carlton to move across 132 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: to expansion team Essendon. Matti Prosparkas has been a Bombers 133 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: fan her entire life, so it's been a big dream 134 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: of hers to play there. And they're called Velcro, the 135 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: two of them. They're attached at the hip. She was 136 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: pretty fired up after earlier in the week she actually 137 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: said she was pretty disappointed about the way her ex 138 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: teammates gave her the cold shoulder after she signed with 139 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: the Bombers. She kicked a goal five minutes into the 140 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 1: final quarter that cut the margin to just three points 141 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: and it felt as though the Bombers might just pinch 142 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: the win, but the Blues managed to hold on for 143 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: a five goal to thirty two to four goals seven 144 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: thirty one win. Darcy Vesio probably had one of the 145 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: best games I've seen them play in a while. Darce 146 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: was pretty fired up, was popping up all over the ground, 147 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: kicked three goals, a really nice snap from the pocket, 148 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: and eleven disposals. So Veso's experience was on full display 149 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: late in the match as they directed their team in 150 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: defense to ensure the Bombers had no easy outlets. In 151 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: transition from d to. 152 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 2: OZ in NRLW after three rounds, there are two teams 153 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 2: left unbeaten, and that means that those teams, the Sydney 154 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 2: Rouses and Newcastle Knights, have both secured a spot in 155 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 2: the finals with two matches to play. 156 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: It seems early, doesn't It's. 157 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 2: Only six teams in the only played five games. It's 158 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 2: fair Newcastle left it until late on Sunday against the 159 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 2: Paramatta Eels. They were down twelve sixteen with only three 160 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 2: minutes on the clock when Olivia Higgins crashed over from 161 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 2: close range, leaving Kira Dib with a conversion to win 162 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 2: the match. Dibslot of the two points and the Knights 163 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 2: got the win eighteen to six, leaving the Eels still searching. 164 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 3: For their first win of the season. 165 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 2: On Friday night, the Roosters christened the new Alliance Stadium 166 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 2: with a big statement in the Grand Final rematch. So 167 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 2: maybe Jamie Sad was on the money last week, smashing 168 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 2: the George Lawd Dragons. 169 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 3: Thirty four to six. 170 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 2: It was pretty tired, it was six all early in 171 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 2: the second half, but Racy McGregor, she was instrumental on 172 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 2: the weekend. A kicking game was just spot on. She 173 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 2: set up four tries as a team run away. 174 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: With a game playing really well, hasn't she? 175 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, really well. 176 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 2: She's always had that really good game since obviously she's 177 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 2: a rugby union girl as well as a league girl. 178 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 3: Just looks like she's got a body right. She's battled 179 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 3: some injuries. 180 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 2: I think over the years, she seems to be fit 181 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 2: and strong, and she's just carving for the roosters this year. 182 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 3: The old defense wins trophies. 183 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: That's I reckon. 184 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,599 Speaker 3: All you talk about is all the things I like 185 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 3: to say. I say a lot of things, obviously. 186 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: A lot of things on repeat. It seem. 187 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, well defense does in trophies. I don't care what 188 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 3: you say. 189 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 2: And it was well, it was on full display in 190 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 2: the big game, and the Roosters up and in defense 191 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 2: shut Superstar fullback and Matonagado down every time she had 192 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 2: the ball. They obviously realized what a key cog et 193 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 2: is in their attack, and they just gave her zero 194 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 2: space and time. The Dragons will definitely need to find 195 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 2: a way to combat that if they're going to reverse 196 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 2: the result from Friday night when the finals roll around. 197 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: In surfing, Steph Gilmore currently holds the record for the 198 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: number of women's world titles alongside Lane Beachley. Both women 199 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: have seven victories to their names. Isn't it so cool 200 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: that it's two Aussie women that hold that record. 201 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're good at the surfings. 202 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: We are good at that. This week Gilmore gets to 203 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: have a crack at number eight when the end of 204 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: season one day Finals Extravaganza kicks off at Lower Trestles 205 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: in California. 206 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 3: A hand motion with that extravagance. 207 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,199 Speaker 1: I don't think you can say that word without extravagant. 208 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: Gilmour will head into the event in fifth spot and 209 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: we need to survive three knockout rounds against the surfers 210 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: ranked above her to advance to the best of three 211 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: title series against world number one Carissa Moore, who is 212 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: bidding for a sixth crown, so she's getting closer to 213 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: number seven as well. Six is close to seven, folks. 214 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: It is a huge challenge for Steph. 215 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 3: Mathing is good today, woll we are on fire. 216 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: We've had a big weekend trip to Canberra for a 217 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: bit of footy. It is a huge challenge for Steph, 218 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: but she'll be drawing on experience from last season's final 219 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: tournament to really shake up the event. It's been an 220 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: amazing effort for her to make the finals after COVID 221 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: ruled her out of the opening event at Pipeline in Hawaii. 222 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 1: She said this week, I'm actually super disappointed about missing 223 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: Pipeline and having such a bad result at Sunset Beach 224 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: because I know I could have gotten a really decent 225 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: result at Pipeline and I would have been sitting in 226 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: a much better position heading into the final five right now. 227 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: But if anyone can win from fifth, it's Steph. If 228 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: she does make it, pass Brusa, Hennessy, Taddiana, Western Web 229 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: and Joanne de Fay, it will be the first time 230 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: Gilmour and Moore have gone head to head in the 231 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: water for a title. 232 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 2: That's surprising, Yeah, really surprising. I think Chris Moore and 233 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 2: Tyler have had a lot of battles for the right 234 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 2: at the end of the season, and obviously this is 235 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 2: a new format. On this second year it's been like this, 236 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 2: but I was quite surprised that they haven't been in 237 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 2: the water together with everything on the line, and. 238 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: I guess that is part of the old format, right, 239 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,719 Speaker 1: Like if they were battling out for a title, a 240 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: lot of the time they could be in the final 241 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: against someone completely different than it didn't really matter, yeah exactly. 242 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: Gilmore was full of praise for More, saying Carisa, in 243 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: my mind is the greatest female surfer. Interesting, she's had 244 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: such great success and she is just getting stronger and stronger. 245 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: I think last year for her to win the world 246 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: title and the Olympic gold medal in one year has 247 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: got to be the greatest competitive year for a professional surfer. Ever. 248 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: It's a very generous compliment, isn't it. 249 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 2: I agree though, Don't get me wrong, I love Tyler 250 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 2: and Steph, but Chrissa is a good search. She's a 251 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 2: very good surf a very good in cricket, not surfing. 252 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 2: The women's one hundred tournament wound up in England on 253 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 2: the weekend, with Australia as Tarlie mcgrat and a man 254 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 2: a Jade Wellington just missing out for their team, the 255 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 2: Southern Brave. It was South African legend Marzanne Capp who 256 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 2: led the Oval Invincibles to a five wicket win. The 257 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 2: final was held at Lord's and the crowd of twenty 258 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 2: eight and forty was a record for a women's domestic match. 259 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 3: Cool nailed it. 260 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 2: The tournament was hailed a success for the women's game 261 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 2: with all eight venues, setting new records for women's matches. Additionally, 262 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 2: I love this start. Twenty eight percent of all ticket 263 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 2: buyers were female. She was a substantial increase from twenty 264 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 2: twenty one. So there are calls for a draft system. 265 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 2: The men's competition that runs alongside it has a draft 266 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 2: system where basically you know team's bid for players and 267 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 2: as a result, they drive competition for those signings that 268 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 2: didn't happen for the women for the first two seasons 269 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 2: the one hundred, and there's been calls for that to 270 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 2: happen next year because the women's tournament is, as the 271 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 2: organizers continually spoken about, integral to the hundreds. So if 272 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 2: it is integral, surely the player should be subject to 273 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 2: the same signing process and salary because at the moment 274 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 2: the women's salaries remain a quarter of those of the 275 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 2: men on average. 276 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: Say there is a cap, so teams bid for a player, 277 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: and doesn't player have any saying where they go? 278 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 3: Not if it's a draft. 279 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 2: No, So Alyia, heally nominates for the draft and she 280 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 2: gets bought by the highest bidder effectively cool. 281 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I like it. England's not very big it's not 282 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 3: as if it's a choice. It's a choice between England 283 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 3: and South Africa, you know. 284 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair. In basketball, we are getting close to 285 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: the Feback World Cup opener on September the twenty second, 286 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 1: and on the other side of the world, there are 287 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: still two Aussies playing w NBA semifinals. Ezzie Magnagore and 288 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: Steph Talbot are playing for the Seattle Storm and are 289 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: currently two to one down in their best of five 290 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: game series. Game four will be tomorrow at twelve pm 291 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: Australian Eastern Time, and if the Storm win the next 292 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: two matches and make the WNBA finals, the two Aussies 293 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: may miss the opals opening match of the World Cup. 294 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 2: We don't want that, no, but I'm really torn because 295 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 2: I really want the Storm to do well. 296 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 3: It's very so I've come up with a Plankay please, 297 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 3: let's they win the next two matches against the Aces. 298 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then depending on the sky or the sun 299 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 2: whoever they play, the sun is in the sky Connecticut 300 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 2: or Chicago. Wow, anyway, depending on who they face, they 301 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: just win three and l and then they get home 302 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 2: in time. 303 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: Oh that's a great solution. They still win the championships. 304 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 3: Only if they get to Game five and the WNBA 305 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 3: finals series. I've just stolen your bit. 306 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: Go for it, but do the research anyway. 307 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 3: Game five the wa Finals are schedule for the twenty 308 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 3: first of September. 309 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: And the opening game is on the twenty second of September. Yeah, 310 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: so you could if you've won in Game five and 311 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: you celebrate with champagne in. 312 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 3: The chain rooms, you're missing game one. 313 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, you kind even fly back in that time. 314 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: No good maths, good maths, so much mass. Today, Opal's 315 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: coach Sandy Brondelo wished the Aussies all their best, all 316 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: the best in their finals run, and confirmed that Stephan 317 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: Ezzi will join the team as soon as their season 318 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: is done in the WNBA. I think she probably wants 319 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: them back asap. It's going to be a pretty tricky 320 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: situation regardless of who's in the finals, and there's sure 321 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: to be some of the best players in the world involved. Therefore, 322 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: arriving late, USA Basketball announced a huge twenty eight player 323 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: squad for a training camp from September sixth to the 324 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: twelfth to try and allow for as many players as 325 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: possible to be considered. Given the potential clash of dates. 326 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: It just is a bit of I don't understand the 327 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: organizing how that's happened. 328 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 3: Neither do I. 329 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: The late finishing date of the WNBA will unfortunately mean 330 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: that some of them may have to make a choice 331 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: between representing their country over playing for their club team. 332 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: Do you call it a club team? That's a club team, sure, 333 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: club level with the best competition in the world. Yeah. Look, 334 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: probably could have been avoided with some better planning. But 335 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: let's just hope storm in. 336 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 2: Three, storm in three, get it done, girls, I like it. 337 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 2: In some domestic basketball news, the WNBL has signed a 338 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 2: two year broadcast deal with the nine network and ESPN. 339 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 2: The deal will see all sixty eight regular season games 340 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 2: plus selected finals live streamed nationally on nine Now, and 341 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 2: sixteen games plus finals showing live on ESPN.

Great from a broadcast point of view, Probably not 358 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 2: the greatest for an attendance point of view, but it's 359 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 2: something that you come home, you know, eat dinner, watch 360 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 2: the game of basketball. Yeah. 361 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: I remember during COVID when footy started back up again, 362 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 1: even Thursday night footy, it was so exciting and all 363 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 1: almost makes it feel like the weekend already. 364 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. 365 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 2: I think you can struggle to get people through the 366 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 2: door in person, just because work life, kids, you know, 367 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 2: commitments are probably more prevalent on a Wednesday night than 368 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 2: they are on a Saturday. 369 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 3: But no, I think it's great. 370 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,880 Speaker 2: And so every round will open with a Wednesday night 371 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 2: fixture being broadcast on ESPN, including the Grand Final rematch 372 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 2: between Perth Links and the Melbourne Boomers at the Bendutt 373 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 2: Basketball Center, which will launch the season on November two, 374 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 2: and just in case you need another reason to tune 375 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 2: in Lj's back. 376 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 3: She's just it's just come back after comeback after comeback. 377 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: It's so good, it's so good for the sport. 378 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. 379 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 2: So she has signed with the South Side of Flyers 380 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 2: the WM bill season and more. 381 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 3: Better. Let's take a look at the key story in 382 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 3: at tennis. 383 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 2: The US Open continues and the goat killer, I mean, 384 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 2: the goat's not dead. 385 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 3: But she did beat her. 386 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: She's evolved. 387 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 2: Ossi Island Tomlanovich has just been Ludma Samsonova seven to six, six' 388 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 2: one in the fourth round to progress to the quarterfinals 389 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 2: at THE Us open for the first. 390 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: Time that's a convincing, win isn't. It. 391 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 2: YEAH i was watching whilst researching double screening and. 392 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 3: That first set was. Tight one. 393 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 2: GAME i think it was the game to get to 394 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 2: six all to force the tie break. 395 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 3: Went for twenty. Minutes one.
