Let's take a look around the 26 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: grounds in netball. Last week, Sunshine Coast Lightning defender Kate 27 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: Walsh's defensive tactics that sounded like cactus tactics were slammed. 28 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 2: Cactus. Cactus would be cactus would be handy in the 29 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 2: shooting circle. Its spiky, Yeah, don't come near me. I've 30 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 2: got a cactus. 31 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: Her tactics, not her cactus, were slammed on social medi 32 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: after she was involved in a tussle with New South 33 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: Wales Swift's rookie goal shooter Sophie Fawns in last Saturday's 34 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: round six match. There are a couple of incidents. They 35 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: were shared quite a lot across Twitter. So Fawns took 36 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: front position against Walsh and then they were fighting for 37 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 1: that front position, so the Lightning defender appeared to push 38 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: her forum into the Swift's face. Many netball fans were 39 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: quick to condemn Walsh after this, and unfortunately some of 40 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: the commentaries stepped over the line into bullying. On Friday, 41 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: Netble Australia, the Sunshine Coast Lightning and Walsh took the 42 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: extraordinary step of issuing a joint statement condemning the bullying 43 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: she received online. Netble Australia CEO Kelly Ryan stated, Kate 44 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: first and foremost is a human being who has the 45 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: right to compete and play netball without being. 46 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 2: Subjected to this type of cruel behavior. 47 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: They talked a lot about the importance of athletes being 48 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 1: able to feel safe in netball, but also being able 49 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: to feel safe online and with social media. Really humbled 50 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: by the rest by the support she received after reporting 51 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: the online abuse, and thanked her club, Netball Australia and 52 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,119 Speaker 1: the A and Players Association and all that had reached. 53 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 2: Out to her. 54 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: She said that she really hopes this experience can start 55 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: some positive conversations around the netball community and the wider 56 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: audience on cyberbullying and harassment on social media platforms and 57 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: if anyone is going through something themselves right now, know 58 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,839 Speaker 1: that they too can reach out and gain help. Over 59 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: the weekend, she was back on the court against the 60 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: Giants and after the events of round six, the players 61 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: were unnoticed to play clean and tight. The umpires were 62 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: seen having early chats with mid quarters to tidy up 63 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: their defensive actions. Walsh's team had no answer for an 64 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: excellent Giants team, who posted their third win on the 65 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: trut thumping Sunshine Coast Lightning by twenty eight goals. The 66 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: scoring was outstanding, with Sophie Dwyer and Joe hart And 67 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: carving up in the goal circle. The pair scored the 68 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: highest total for fifteen minutes in twenty twenty two with 69 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: twenty six in the third quarter and equaled the record 70 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: total of eighty two for Super Netball in the eighty 71 00:03:58,560 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: two to fifty four win. 72 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 2: The Giants dominant in surfing, the WSL introduced a mid 73 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 2: season cut per season twenty twenty two, and that cut 74 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 2: has proved to be fairly brutal. So at the start 75 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 2: of the season it was confirmed that there would be 76 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 2: a reduction of surfers from the World Championship Tour at 77 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: the midway point, and the women's tour would go from 78 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 2: eighteen surface to ten. The men's WCT is also been 79 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 2: cut in this Mugaret River event, where the men's competitors 80 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 2: will go from thirty six surface to twenty two. The 81 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 2: cut endeavors to create a more competitive WCT and allow 82 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 2: the event to be surfed in a shorter time frame 83 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 2: in the most optimal surfing conditions. So obviously nature involved. 84 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 2: They really want to get the surfing done when the 85 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 2: conditions are at their peak. It's been a huge topic 86 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 2: of conversation and at Bell's Beach a petition was actually 87 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 2: signed and lodged. A large number of surfers submitted that 88 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 2: to the WSL asking for the mid season cut off 89 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 2: format to be reconsidered and disregarded. The World's Surf League 90 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 2: CEO Eric Logan responded and said the redesigned tour structure 91 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 2: has been met by the industry and fans with genuine 92 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 2: excitement and significantly increased engagement. The new structure will see 93 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 2: the surfers who have not made the cut drop down 94 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 2: to the World Challenger Series and compete to secure their 95 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 2: spot on next season's at WCT. So as Margaret River 96 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 2: moved into the third day of surfing, that acts began 97 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 2: to swing and the big names were not spared. Sally 98 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 2: Fitzgibbon went into the event ranked twelfth and just couldn't 99 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 2: summon the performance she needed to survive against Joanne de 100 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 2: Fay in the last sixteen Sally who's finished runner up 101 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 2: in the title race three times and has been on 102 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 2: the tour for fourteen years. So after going down to 103 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 2: de Fay, the realization that she was heading to the 104 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 2: Challenger Series sunk in. And I love her attitude, like 105 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 2: she's just such a positive human, she bravely said in 106 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 2: a post interview. I'm going into the hungry pit of piranhas. 107 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 2: Nothing will get you out of bit in the morning. 108 00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 2: Like the next generation. I love's great the chin She's like, well, 109 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 2: next next job, here we go. One of those next 110 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 2: gen she will be up against is Molly Picklam, who 111 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 2: served out of her skin to beat Tyler right earlier 112 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 2: in the event, but she just couldn't back it up 113 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 2: in the quarter finals and went down to Courtney Connologue. 114 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 2: Picklm again disappointed but so young, and she said, I 115 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 2: do feel like I can match these girls. It sucks, 116 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: but I'm excited for next years, the next years to 117 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 2: come on tour, and I feel like I'm on a 118 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 2: decent path. If I stick to the things, it will 119 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 2: go my way. At time of recording, we're at the 120 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 2: semi final stage to a waiting for swell. Semifinal two 121 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 2: is the all Lossie affair between Brontie McCaulay and Isabella Nichols, 122 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 2: which has serious implications for both surfers. McCaulay needs to 123 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 2: win the event and Nichols needs to win her semi 124 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 2: final for them to both stay on tour. 125 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: It's a fair bit of pressure going into a semi 126 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: isn't it a. 127 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 2: Very large addition to like some already pre existing pressure. 128 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:57,679 Speaker 1: So interesting In soccer, Sam Kerr has collected another award 129 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: over the weekend when she took home the English Football 130 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: Women Player of the Year award. The Matilda's captain won 131 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: a huge forty percent of the vote in the Football Writers' 132 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: Association poll to be found the best player in the 133 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: Women's Super League. She has been exceptional this season for 134 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: her team Chelsea. She's already kicked eighteen goals and had 135 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: four assists from eighteen or nineteen WSL games. She might 136 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: not have to wait long to add yet another trophy 137 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: to the cabinet. With the Women's Super League coming to 138 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: a close, in the UK. Chelsea have one match to 139 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: play and lead second place Arsenal, who have a game 140 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: in hand, by four points. Chelsea will face Manchester United 141 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: this weekend for their chance to win their third WSL 142 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: title in a row, just in case. Samko's trophy cabinet 143 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: was not full enough. As it was, She's almost certain 144 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: to win the twenty twenty two Golden Boot as the 145 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: WSL top scorer for a second straight season. 146 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 2: I think she's probably surpassed the cabinet stage of trophies. 147 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 2: What is next though? A wall? Is it just? I 148 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 2: think it's just a wall. 149 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: Maybe a shipping container that's not really on display, but practical. 150 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 2: Maybe when she's moving between countries. 151 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: That's a good point. 152 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 2: Actually, she travels a lot. In more soccer, Casey Oribelt 153 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 2: became just the second woman to oversee a men's A 154 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 2: League match and the first this season, when she took 155 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 2: the whistle for the per Perth Glory and Western Sydney 156 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 2: Wanderer's clash over the weekend. Kate Jaswek's created history in 157 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 2: January twenty twenty as the first woman to referee in 158 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 2: the competition, fifteen years after it was established. Robert said 159 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 2: before the match that she hoped that in the future 160 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 2: that this is the norm, that having female officials in 161 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 2: the A League Men's is not a special occasion.

That's goosebumps right there, you're dropping mics. 214 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: Ozzie featherweight boxer Sky Nicholson fought on the undercart and 215 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: won a unanimous clear decision over Shaniko Paisley Davis to 216 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: move into three and zero in her pro career.

Nicholson is keen to get back in 221 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: the ring as soon as possible and said after the fight, 222 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: I can't wait to have a professional fight in Australia 223 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: in front of all my supporters that have supported me 224 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,599 Speaker 1: from day one, that have been there through all the 225 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: amateur career as well. 226 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 2: In long distance running, in just absolutely mind blowing achievements. 227 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 2: Just put it into that category, shall we. Jackie Hunt 228 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 2: Barisma set an unofficial women's world record when the ampute 229 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 2: athlete achieved her goal of running one hundred and two 230 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 2: marathons in as many days, and just because she could, 231 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 2: she had two more over the weekend to wrap up 232 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 2: her challenge with one hundred and four marathons in one 233 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 2: hundred and four days. Bresma was born in South Africa 234 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 2: and lost her left leg below the knee to a 235 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 2: rare cancer. She runs on a carbon fiber PROCESSUS and 236 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 2: the forty six year old began her quest on January seventeenth, 237 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 2: covering the classic twenty six point two mile or forty 238 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 2: what do we do it? In our forty two kilometer 239 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 2: marathon distance on a look course laid out near her 240 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 2: home in Gilbert, Arizona. Her original goal was to run 241 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 2: one hundred marathons in one hundred days, so she would 242 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 2: beat the record of ninety five set in twenty twenty 243 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 2: by Alissa Amos Clark, an ablebodied runner from Bennington, Vermont, 244 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 2: who took it on as a pandemic coping strategy. A 245 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 2: similar to you, Bess. Running marathons is definitely not in 246 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 2: the top ten pandemic coping strategies. 247 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: For me was yours ninety five days of red wine. Look, 248 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: I think. 249 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 2: We all have our passions. Obviously running is not one 250 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 2: of mine. Then, earlier this month, another able bodied British runner, 251 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 2: Kate Jaden, unofficially broke Clarks recorded with one hundred and 252 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 2: one marathons in one hundred and one days. So Barisma 253 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 2: realized she was going to run it. Need to run 254 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 2: at least one hundred and two, just thought she'd knock 255 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 2: out one hundred and four along the way. She gained 256 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 2: huge social media attention as she should have, and raised 257 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 2: more than sixty seven thousand dollars to help fellow amputee 258 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 2: blade runners get the expensive processures they need. 259 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: I chatted to Ellie Cole on Season one of the 260 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: Tea Fat podcasts, and it's often not covered by health 261 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: insurance to get the equipment that's required and the prosthetics 262 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: that you might require, so they can often exceed. 263 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 2: Ten thousand dollars. 264 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: Ellie Cole's leg is like the most incredible robot ever 265 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: and it's I'm pretty sure over one hundred k. 266 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 2: So amazing effort from Hunt Brisman to go out and 267 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 2: raise that kind of money to help other athletes. Her 268 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 2: ninety second marathon was at this month's famous Boston Marathon, 269 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 2: and she hopes her quest will inspire people everywhere to 270 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 2: push themselves to do hard things. She said, I'm just 271 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 2: happy that I made it. I can't believe it. The 272 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 2: best thing it was the incredile support I've received from 273 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 2: people around the world who've reached out telling me how 274 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 2: this has inspired them to push themselves. Hey, that's cool. Yeah. 275 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 2: I also like that you've got that quote in your house. 276 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: We can do hard things. 277 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 2: We can do hard things. It's cool. I like it. 278 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: In rugby, this one was exciting. Got to watch the 279 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: final this morning Monday. The Ozzie sevens team have been 280 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:43,359 Speaker 1: crowned the twenty twenty two HSBC World Rugby seven Series champions. 281 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: They secured the crown in Langford, Canada, early on Monday 282 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: morning when they won their quarterfinal against Spain. They've already 283 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: won three out of the first four legs to secure 284 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: the series. When they reached the semifinals, they weren't content 285 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: with the series win and put on a clinic in 286 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: the semi fin or to defeat Ireland twenty six to five. 287 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: Waiting in the Grand Final were fierce rivals New Zealand, 288 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: who were back on the World Series after missing the 289 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: early rounds due to travel restrictions placed on them by 290 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: New Zealand's COVID quarantine rules. It was a tight, tight match. 291 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: It was pretty cool to see them go head to 292 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: head again. These teams have not come head to head 293 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: since twenty nineteen on the World Series, so it's been 294 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: a really long time since we've actually got to see 295 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: them compete. It was so good to see because we 296 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: play quite a similar style of rugby. I think this 297 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: really expansive game, hard carries through the medal, but then 298 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: using the width of the field and some of the 299 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: strong finishes, so it was really cool to see the 300 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: two teams go back at it again. New Zealand took 301 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: a ten to seven lead into halftime and held a 302 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: seventeen to fourteen lead as time ticked away. It was 303 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: a very, very stressful last minute of the game. Maddie 304 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: leave I had a critical turnover just near the try line, 305 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: the Ossie's try line, and they had to go the 306 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: full length of the field. They had showed a lot 307 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: of patience and compose from a lot of pressure that 308 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: was coming from the New Zealand side and Lily Dick 309 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: almost stumbled over the line about two minutes after time 310 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: had expired to seal the win for the Aussies. And 311 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: I think it was a pretty important victory to silence 312 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: a few critics who've questioned the validity of Australia's series 313 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: win given the absence of New Zealand in the first 314 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: four rounds. And the Aussies will now look to the 315 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: final stop into Loose France, which starts on May twentieth, 316 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: where they will be keen to repeat the result and 317 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: finish the season with five event wins. 318 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 2: It was a very I must admit, I felt okay 319 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 2: with my COVID until this morning, screaming at the television. 320 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 2: I got a bit of COVID headspins. But it was 321 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 2: such an impressive match. I think what you said there, Chloe, 322 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 2: about the way they play a similar style. Watching the 323 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 2: games over the weekend because I'm not doing anything outside, 324 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 2: they're still so far ahead of most of the other 325 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 2: countries with just the length and the speed and the 326 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 2: quality of pass and it just puts them on the 327 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 2: outside of the defensive line over and over again. It's 328 00:16:58,640 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 2: really quite impressive. 329 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: It's good to watch, isn't it. Let's take a look 330 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: at the key story. 331 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 2: In AFL shocking sixty two page report titled Girls and 332 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 2: Women in Australian Football Umpiring Understanding, Registration, Participation and Retention 333 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 2: was conducted by the University of Sydney in twenty twenty 334 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 2: twenty twenty twenty twenty one and funded by the AFL. 335 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 2: That report was leaked on Sunday night and the findings 336 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 2: were confronting. The study was compiled by former aflw Field 337 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 2: umpire and researcher doctor Victoria Rawlings and former AFL Community 338 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 2: Umpiring Development boss Damien Anderson. It includes accounts from twenty 339 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 2: seven umpires, twenty six females and one non binary across 340 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 2: four focus groups from Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, New South 341 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 2: Wales and ACT. The AFL were not too keen on 342 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 2: the findings to be made public, and it's not hard 343 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 2: to understand why they took that position. The study reveals 344 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 2: a toxic male dominated culture, as well as women being 345 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 2: subject to sexual harassment from spectators, umpire coaches and fellow umpires. 346 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: There's been some concern from the AFL around the fact 347 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 1: that females represent only ten point eight percent of umpires nationally. 348 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: Despite the level of growth that we've seen from aflw 349 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: in play participation at a grassroots level, the same increase 350 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: has not been seen in the officiating ranks, and given 351 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: the feedback provided in this study, it's pretty easy to 352 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 1: see why one female umpire told the report, I used 353 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: to receive messages of nudes that other umpires would send 354 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: to me, and umpires during games would inappropriately touch me, 355 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: like when we're umpiring together and things like that. That's 356 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: what made me quit. It's quite confronting to read that. 357 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: Other complaints include female umpires being forced to share change 358 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 1: rooms with naked males and being racially vilified in the workplace. 359 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: The full report is available online and the contents are 360 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: quite confronting. 361 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 2: So there is only one current AFL field umpire, Eleniglossus, 362 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 2: and she's frustrated by the lack of progress. She wrote 363 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 2: a skating forward in the report in which she said, 364 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 2: in reading this research, I felt frustrated that girls and 365 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 2: women in umpiring roles are still facing the same obstacles 366 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 2: and challenges that I faced almost sixteen years ago. I'd 367 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 2: hope things would have improved. They certainly should have. While 368 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 2: umpiring juniors through the state level, I've worn uniforms that 369 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 2: don't fit these change rooms and impost segregation, and have 370 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 2: had my ability to perform question due to my gender 371 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 2: by spectators, players, coaches, the media, umpiring pers and umpiring coaches. 372 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 2: So in doing some research from this piece last night, 373 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 2: you know, Twitter's a pretty vicious place at the best 374 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 2: of times. I put AFL umpiring into the research, into 375 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 2: the search field in Twitter, and look there was, you know, 376 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 2: you standard, a variety of angry humans on Twitter over 377 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 2: the weekend about how you know, poorly the umpires performed, 378 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera in the AFL. The thing that 379 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 2: really stood out to me was the personal attacks on 380 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 2: Eleni so she'd umpired the Carlton North Melbourne game, which 381 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 2: I watched as a Carlton fan on the weekend, and 382 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 2: during that match, Lenie she was knocked to the ground, 383 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 2: eyes on the footy Tom to Connin came over the 384 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 2: top of her. I think, to be fair, I think 385 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 2: the Carlton player shanked the kick and the ball landed 386 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 2: somewhere that they weren't expecting it to land, and Tom 387 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 2: to Conin kind of cleaned her up, but they both 388 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 2: just got up, brushed it off, played on nothing in 389 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 2: it kind of thing. The online comments though about that 390 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 2: incident and her performance in general were intense, and I 391 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 2: think the biggest thing that stood out to me was 392 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 2: just the language is different, you know, like it's just 393 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 2: the language is it's cruel, and it's gendered, and you know, 394 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 2: and there's just question after question about how she got 395 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 2: the gig and why she's umpiring in the AFL. 396 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: I'm just actually, while you're talking, I've just pulled the 397 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 1: video up because I didn't see it. But it's I 398 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: think that's the thing where that often starts, right, is 399 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: this assumption that's made immediately because she's a woman, she's 400 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: not going to be good at it, and so the second, 401 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: I don't even know if you call that a mistake. 402 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what happened in that process in terms 403 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: of her being knocked over, like that's just something that happens. 404 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 1: Raiser Ray, one of the most well known umpires in 405 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: the game, was he did he get kicked. Something happened 406 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: not long ago and he recovered quite well. But it's 407 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: kind of part of the game and people loved it 408 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: from Raizor Ray. I thought it was this great highlight piece. 409 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: But the second that's a woman in that role, the 410 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: second there's a mistake or something that shouldn't have happened, 411 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 1: you just get crucified for it. 412 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 2: It was a real binker pointing exercise as to be 413 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 2: her fault. Yeah, it is. 414 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: Back to the report, it makes eleven recommendations to create 415 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: safe conditions for recruiting and retaining female umpires, including better education, 416 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: more accessible reporting tools, adoption of inclusive change rooms, and 417 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: improved coaching. Again on the chain rooms piece, it's a 418 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: bit silly that that has to be a recommendation. That 419 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 1: should be a common sense piece by now. As part 420 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: of the conclusion of the reports, it states that overwhelmingly 421 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: this study has demonstrated that girls and women in umpiring 422 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: navigate experiences whether they indirectly or directly told that they 423 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: do not belong or deserve to be an umpiring. While 424 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: at its best, umpiring provides participants with greater social, physical, 425 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: and mental health, this report demonstrates that gender plays a 426 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: significant role in constraining those benefits. I think, even reading 427 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: something like that, it's so interesting again the parallels that 428 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: exists between women who play sport, women who umpire and 429 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 1: officiate sport, and women who are trying to progress through 430 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: the ranks of these leadership roles in sport. It's indirect. 431 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: I think that's a great quote. Indirect and direct ways 432 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 1: of telling these girls and these women that they don't 433 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: belong in the game. 434 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 2: It's some really powerful language. And you're right, it's not 435 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 2: just umpiring, it's females in sport in general. It applies to. 436 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: Fl did release a statement, and they didn't explain why 437 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: the report hadn't been released last year. They did note 438 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 1: that the important findings and recommendations of the report have 439 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: formed the basis for a number of initiatives that have 440 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: been included in the Women and Girls Game Development Action Plan. 441 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 1: Which is in its final stages of completion. The initiatives 442 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 1: in the plan are designed to increase representation of women 443 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: and girls in all parts of our game, from players 444 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 1: to umpires, to coaches and administrators, and aimed at ensuring 445 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 1: a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment for women and girls, 446 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: including lifting the number of women umpires to forty percent. 447 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: And that's an interesting one while we're on it. While 448 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: I was looking at that video, and I just had 449 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,880 Speaker 1: a quick stalk of Elenni on Instagram and just recently 450 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: at the end of March, she was leading a zoom 451 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: call for encouraging the next female AFLW and AFL umpires 452 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: so that it's a national female umpiring mentorship program. So 453 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: Eleni obviously does a lot of work in that space, 454 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: and hopefully the AFL take on board these recommendations from 455 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: the report to continue creating change in that space. Let's 456 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 1: take a look at what to watch the Suncourt Supernetball 457 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 1: enters Round eight and surprise tabletoppers. The Melbourne Vixen's hosts 458 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: the Queensland Firebirds at John Cane Arena on Saturday.
