WEBVTT - MINI: Footy

0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:09.879
<v Speaker 1>Got anything good. Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:16.040
<v Speaker 2>So footy is back kind of with an asterisk, a.

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Very tepid start to the football season.

0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Can anyone makes sense this? The reason why I'm asking

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:23.320
<v Speaker 2>us especially today is we've had some of our oldest

0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:25.720
<v Speaker 2>friends staying with us from they've never been to Australia before.

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:28.000
<v Speaker 2>They're over from the UK. And I said, now, oh,

0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:30.080
<v Speaker 2>there's a there's a footage game on this afternoon, and

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 2>it was the Giants Pies game. I said, this should

0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:34.320
<v Speaker 2>be a good game. We can watch the first half

0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 2>of it, so I said, just watch it and all

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:38.520
<v Speaker 2>sort of makes sense of it as we go along.

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:40.800
<v Speaker 2>And of course I remember when I moved it seven

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 2>years ago. When you come in cold, there are so

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:49.199
<v Speaker 2>many questions, valid questions that don't have very clear concise answers.

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Within a couple of minutes, there was like two minutes

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:52.800
<v Speaker 2>of silence, and I kept looking at him and who

0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 2>he enjoys it, you know, And it was a really

0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 2>busy game, and he goes, what the bloody end is

0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:03.240
<v Speaker 2>going on here? I mean it is because it's really physical,

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:04.959
<v Speaker 2>isn't it. And he went, oh, that guy is going

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 2>to get some sent off. No, no, no, no, they don't

0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:10.120
<v Speaker 2>have any of that. What do they have any guess? No,

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:12.200
<v Speaker 2>but they have a tribunal. What do you mean a

0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 2>tribune They have to go to a tribunal, but most

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 2>of the time just appeal it. They go, don't worry

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:20.120
<v Speaker 2>about it. Especially we played for the catch.

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's no sinbin, no getting set off in the game.

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:24.200
<v Speaker 1>You essentially go to court during the week.

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's right. He was like, he just punched that guy.

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:29.760
<v Speaker 2>Not not a problem during this game. Ever, during the game,

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 2>something will happen. They're going to have to put a

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 2>suit on during the week, and normally they just appeal

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 2>it and they just half the originally said, and the

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 2>tribunals can go on for six hours.

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.000
<v Speaker 1>It's not until you explain Australian rules football to somebody

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:43.679
<v Speaker 1>that you were like, yeah, it is a kind of

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 1>a strange game. We've all especially growing up with it.

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:48.640
<v Speaker 1>You go like, we just always known that that's how

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.280
<v Speaker 1>it was, but having to explain it to you doesn't

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>ye very straight.

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 2>And you know, like it with a lot of sports,

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 2>like say like cricket, you know that hasn't really adapted

0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:58.560
<v Speaker 2>that much. You know they've done some new versions like

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 2>T twenty, but the actual rules the thing he couldn't.

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 2>He went, so are they playing on a training pitch? Went? No, No,

0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 2>this is an actual study. I go white. He goes,

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.839
<v Speaker 2>what are those two other sort of training posts by

0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:14.799
<v Speaker 2>the main post? No? And I went, oh, by the

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.080
<v Speaker 2>way for a game that predominantly kicking, most of them

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 2>are ship at it right, he goes. So he's going like,

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.080
<v Speaker 2>do try and get it in there? You get most ways,

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:26.800
<v Speaker 2>but try and get my massive wife. You don't have

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 2>that in any other sport. You know, there's a golf

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 2>hole and then there's another bigger hole. Any of these

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 2>that one ideally, but there's still it.

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Won't many points, but you can't go for that one.

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:43.640
<v Speaker 2>And then one of the umpires obviously throw the ball

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 2>facing away, and he went, what the hell is this? Now?

0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 2>What's he doing? He goes, how can he do that?

0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 2>It's impressible? Why is he throwing it like that? I went, actually,

0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 2>I can't tell you that. I got no idea. Why

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:56.079
<v Speaker 2>did he throw it that that way?

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:57.519
<v Speaker 1>Another thing I've never.

0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 2>TH's just the way it is?

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:03.399
<v Speaker 1>Is it so that it's impartial? Rugby?

0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I guess so yeah, so it's just so he

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 2>does it, but that is so ludicrously far as well.

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>And you just hope that your umpires unbiased anyway, why looking.

0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:20.639
<v Speaker 2>Hide and seek? There's just so many grayeres. And then

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 2>afterwards I was watching this sort of a catch up

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.520
<v Speaker 2>with it all and they were talking about now because

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 2>obviously this round zero does obviously count, but they were

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:32.520
<v Speaker 2>meant to be two more EXA games. Now the Essendon

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 2>your team Essendon game just got postponed obviously because the

0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.119
<v Speaker 2>advice because of the weather, they can't do it. But now

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 2>they're saying and weightly fox Rey was apolectic about this

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 2>and kind of phrase I've never heard before. Foot is back,

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.440
<v Speaker 2>the man is support in the world is back. Ladder fail.

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 2>He was almost in tears. The ladder is never going

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 2>to make sense. But the restless season, we're like, it's back.

0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 2>How can you screw up your own ladder? And it's

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 2>it's always going to be. It's always gonna have an

0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.480
<v Speaker 2>asterisk spite, Yes, always gonna have an asterisk bite because

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:06.040
<v Speaker 2>you guys have to play each other some point later.

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, now, in the last round of the season, which

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:10.760
<v Speaker 1>so Brisbane and Geelong was the other game that was

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>postponed because of the bad weather in Queens, so that got.

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Moved to around three.

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 1>They're like, oh, well that's an important game. You guys

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:22.160
<v Speaker 1>can play in three ways time Gold Coast, well, anyone

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.919
<v Speaker 1>know that they didn't play, So now the idea is

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.840
<v Speaker 1>to play our final game of the season, which is

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.960
<v Speaker 1>against Carlton, on the weekend and then sometime midweek.

0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:39.520
