Speaker 2: I forgot that part for Australia.

7
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 3: Sorry, love that when you just slide it in. Can't

8
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 3: you even cut and paste my stuff?

9
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 2: It's been a big weekend in wheelchair rugby.

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,800

Speaker 3: in Paris.

13
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: For the key story, will chat about the serious lack

14
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: of statues of women in Australia and why the Matildas

15
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: should not have to win to get a statue. I

16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: who I've been in a serious battle across the weekend

17
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 1: blocking all the dad's brads and chads who were complaining

18
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 1: about the fact that they finished fourth and don't deserve

19
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: a statue.

20
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: But I'll save my anger for the key story.

21
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 3: I've already got the expressive handsig gestures.

22
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: Put my hands in my pockets.

23
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: My name is Chloe Dalton and I'm joined every week

24
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: on the show by my co host Bez we're recording

25
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: on gaddagl Land. Bez, let's take a look around the grounds.

26
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: In snow sports, Brie Walk has created history by becoming

27
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,199
Speaker 1: the first ever Ossie win a bob Slate World Cup

28
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: gold medal when she won the monobob event at Lake

29
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: Placid on the weekend. It was that video of her

30
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: finishing which we shared on our socials and co loved

31
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: with Brie, like it was a really special moment. And

32
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: I think I've watched breeze journey for a good few

33
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: years now, and like she's been on the podium. We've

34
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: chatted about the fact she's been on the podium a

35
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: number of times. She's had a really good season, So

36
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: to see her get her first win.

37
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 2: Was very exciting.

38
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 3: You enjoy at the end there, Yeah, it was really cool.

39
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: She said, a sizzling course record on her second run

40
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,639
Speaker 1: of fifty nine point two two seconds, and the victory

41
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: pushed her to second on the overall standings for the season,

42
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: which is the best end of season ranking of her career.

43
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: Question before we go to the next story, bob sled

44
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: bob slay. When are they used? Are they interchangeable? Please?

45
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: Help us?

46
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, help us? But I don't know it, Bree walk

47
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 3: of Bob's laid to that course?

48
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: Were here holding onto that one?

49
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 3: No, just thought of it, because I was actually just

50
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,119
Speaker 3: thinking fifty nine point twenty two seconds of like sliding.

51
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 3: I reckon is the wrong word, like absolutely falling down

52
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 3: a course.

53
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: Falling is not even aggressive enough, Like it's rocketing onto

54
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: the next.

55
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 3: Rocketing onto the next. Common Moth Games news. Unfortunately, another

56
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 3: blow to the athlete dreaming of representing their country in

57
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty six com Games on Saturday, as Malaysia

58
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 3: rejected and offered to host the games due to time constraints, costs,

59
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 3: and insufficient funding from the organization. So this comes after

60
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: Victoria withdrew his host and the Gold Coast decided against

61
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 3: a late bit, and it puts the Comoth Game's future

62
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: at risk and the athletes from approximately seventy countries might

63
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 3: miss out on opportunity to test themselves on a big stage.

64
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: You're good, all right.

65
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: I just clinked my glass against my microphone.

66
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: Just cheersing the microphone. So if the twenty twenty six

67
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 3: Games do not proceed, it will be the first time

68
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 3: since World War Two in nineteen forty two and nineteen

69
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 3: forty six that they have been canceled, and I just

70
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 3: think a real shame for this group of athletes.

71
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: Last week, We've got to catch up with some of

72
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: the super Netbawk captains bears. One of our favorite interviews

73
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: was with Steph Wood and she talked about the fact

74
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: where yes or no, should Netwell be in the Olympics.

75
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 1: She said no because she thought the common Games was

76
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: such a big occasion, as was the World Card World Champs.

77
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: I think it's really devastating for athletes in sports that

78
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 1: have a real focus on comm Games and that's kind

79
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: of their time that they get to shine.

80
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, and then just also the athletes from some

81
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 3: of those smaller countries that may not actually qualify for

82
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 3: the Olympics. We're talking athletes from seventy different countries. I

83
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 3: know that the Commonwealth is a bit of an archaic

84
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 3: structure and I don't necessarily agree with it, but anything

85
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 3: for sport.

86
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: Anything for sports, it's dangerous.

87
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 3: Anything for a sport competition that we dominate.

88
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do love dominating that one.

89
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: But interesting. I was back on Wide World of Sport

90
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: on the weekend. It was a big conversation about the

91
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: Queensland government and their refusal.

92
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 3: To spend the money on the money on the.

93
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: Gabba or potentially a new stadium at Victoria Park.

94
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: I think it was interesting. It's just really interesting to

95
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: see the.

96
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: Future of these huge global events with their economic demands,

97
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: what is going to look like moving forward?

98
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 3: My proposal still stands. I reckon for four different sites

99
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 3: across the world and I just rotates through them every Was.

100
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: That your proposal? Because I stole it on the show

101
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 2: and said it was mine? Did you yep?

102
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 3: What happens when I leave the country In wheelchair rugby?

103
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: The Australian Steelers have qualified for the twenty twenty four

104
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: Paralympics after winning gold in Wellington, New Zealand at the

105
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: qualification tournament. The Steelers had to fight to the very

106
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: last seconds against rivals Canada, with the scores locked at

107
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: forty five all at full time. Extra time was tight,

108
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: but captain Chris Bond scored the winning goal with one

109
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: point eight seconds remaining in overtime to give the Ossies

110
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: a forty nine to forty eight victory. Shay Graham and

111
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: Ellis Sabjack were instrumental for the Steelers and can now

112
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: look ahead to the games where they'll be hunting a

113
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: medal with their Steelers teammates can't wait.

114
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 3: In some cricket news, Australian cricket team are in Bangladesh

115
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 3: for a three match ODI series which will be followed

116
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 3: by a three match T twenty series. Game one of

117
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 3: the the Ossies baded first and we're in some trouble

118
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 3: at six one hundred and twelve before ever improving all round,

119
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 3: Annabel Sutherland came to the crease. She is in a

120
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: purple patch at the moment. Sutherland she registered a solid

121
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 3: fifty eight not out from seventy six deliveries to guide

122
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 3: her team to a defendable total of seven for two

123
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: hundred and thirteen. Bangaldesh had trouble with the Ossie tach

124
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 3: from the outset, with me and Shoot taking a wicket

125
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 3: with just the second ball of the over. They ended

126
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 3: up all out for ninety five from thirty six overs,

127
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 3: delivering at the Australians in one hundred and eighteen run win.

128
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 3: And then last night Sunday Night, the Ossies wrapped up

129
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 3: the series with another dominant performance. Sophie Molinie was immense.

130
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 3: It was her first game in I think for Australia

131
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 3: in maybe over a year or two.

132
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

133
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: Wow, Obviously there's some pretty dry spinning decks. So she

134
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 3: took three wickets and allowed just ten runs from her

135
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 3: ten overs. Bangladesh had no answer for that spin attack

136
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 3: with slow bowlers Alana King Georgia, Whereham and Ashgana all

137
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 3: taking two weeks each at last. Perry then came out

138
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 3: and did what she does, steering Australia to the winning

139
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 3: total of ninety eight with an unbeen score of thirty

140
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 3: five from fifty bors to help seal the win and

141
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 3: the series in the twenty third over.

142
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: In football, the pools for the Paris Olympics were determined

143
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: last week and the Tillis will have a challenge on

144
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: their hands to win their first ever Olympic medal. Drawn

145
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: in Pool B alongside USA and Germany, plus an African

146
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: qualifier which will be either Morocco or Zambia, the Matildas

147
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: will have to beat the best All three groups are

148
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: not really easy, right when you have twelve teams competing

149
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: rather than sixteen, It kind of.

150
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 3: Who has sixteen cloth the men do? Oh? Interesting?

151
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 2: They also have the decathlon.

152
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: I think interesting though, because if we looked at this

153
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: draw maybe four to six years a guy. I think

154
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: you see names like the US and Germany and they

155
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: almost seem like unattainable wins. But I think it's been

156
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: really interesting the way that women's football at the international

157
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: level has very much balanced out Great Britain Sweden failing

158
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: to qualify US number of losses, which was kind of

159
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: pretty rare for them for a patch there. I'm really

160
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: backing them in.

161
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Germany and USA. Whilst it's on paper it

162
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,679
Speaker 3: looks daunting. I think, as you said, given recent form,

163
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 3: the amount of top level football I think our players

164
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 3: are playing now, which I think is super important. I

165
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: agree we'll qualify top and go onto e gold.

166
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: Oh I love that from you.

167
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: Tony Gastafsen has chosen a squad of twenty three for

168
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: a camp in San Antonio, Texas next month, leading into

169
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,679
Speaker 1: the friendly against Mexico on April tenth, which.

170
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 3: Will be a great test for them because Mexico beat

171
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 3: the US recently.

172
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: Yes, so in the conquer caff conquer.

173
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 3: Calf is that it.

174
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, There's a lot of letters in it,

175
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: but that's how I've been saying it in my brain,

176
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: you know. And you never say it out loud, and

177
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: now I did, and I'm nervous.

178
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 3: Then it's out there in rugby union and you so far.

179
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 3: As Orator has traveled to Fiji on the weekend, determined

180
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: to take an important step towards regaining their Super Rugby

181
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 3: title two time defending champs at Fiji, drewer and a

182
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 3: raucous home ground stood in their way, but the players

183
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 3: in Warta Blue were too good. It was some pretty

184
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 3: oppressive conditions.

185
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: It sounded intense, it was hot, yeah.

186
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,239
Speaker 3: And it was yeah. I watched some pretty elite athletes

187
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 3: and so we played after the men. So the war

188
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 3: tars Men played the drew before us, and there was

189
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: a fair few of the war tar Men players in

190
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 3: some serious distress post match. They went to extra time,

191
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 3: they played ninety minutes. It was just they'd had a

192
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 3: lot of rain during the week, like floods kind of rain.

193
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 3: So the ground was very heavy and it was about

194
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 3: one hundred percent community. I was nearly going to say

195
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 3: more than one hundred percent, but I'm one of those

196
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 3: people that it's just stupid because there's no such thing.

197
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 3: It was definitely give percent. It was completely humidity, entirely

198
00:08:59,000 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 3: humid is what it was.

199
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: It's good so humid in its entirety exactly.

200
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 3: So no, it was really hot. And yeah, I was

201
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 3: just actually telling your mum outside. I was looked around

202
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 3: the change room at halftime and there was you know

203
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 3: when you get the blank stare. There was a lot

204
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 3: of girls just staring thinking I've just got to survive this.

205
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 3: But anyway, Wow, they killed it. We ran, we ran

206
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 3: in ten tries.

207
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: Amazing, they killed it, sixty.

208
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 3: Two to twenty one win. And yeah, obviously everyone's home

209
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 3: and well, so that's.

210
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 2: Good, great, we love that.

211
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 3: In Perth, the Western Force had their first ever win

212
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 3: over the Queensland Reds, defeating the visitors twenty four to fourteen,

213
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 3: and in the process they moved into second spot on

214
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 3: the ladder behind the Rotars. Go the Force. They count

215
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 3: it Force.

216
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: How good?

217
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're really really playing some good rugby too. I

218
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 3: can't wait we actually go to Perth next weekend, no

219
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 3: weekend after next Yeah, it should be great.

220
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: In Netbal, the New South Wales Swifts have won the

221
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: pre season Team Girls Cup on Sunday, defeating the Melbourne

222
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: Victens forty five to forty four. Helen Hawsby was excellent

223
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: in the final, scoring twenty two points and registering sixteen

224
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: of twenty shooting, including six super shots, but it was

225
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: Swift's skiper Maddie Prow that took home Player of the

226
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: Match after leading the team in the mid court. It

227
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: was a really tight tournament, with not a lot separating

228
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: all eight teams going into the finals. Every team had

229
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: lost at least one match, and there hadn't really been

230
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: any blowouts across the weekend. It's kind of funny the

231
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: curse they talk about. We chatted about it with the players, like, no,

232
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 1: they kind of like they don't want to tank the games,

233
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: but they kind of also okay if they don't win,

234
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: because apparently no one has ever won the Team Girls

235
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: Cup and gone on to win the Supernet Bowl title.

236
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 3: The Swiss will be hoping that they break that curse.

237
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 3: I'm sure.

238
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Shout out to Maddie Proud for her kind of

239
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: acceptance speech for Player of the Final because she was

240
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: so articulate, Like particularly postmatch, she just like nailed it,

241
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: like thanking all the sponsors, talking about the importance of

242
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: growing the game.

243
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 2: She absolutely killed it.

244
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: I think afterwards she'd said to her coach the face

245
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: that she felt like she was eighty three years old

246
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: out there.

247
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 3: I love that. Also great to see over seven seven

248
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 3: hundred fans in ken Rozzul Arena over the weekend. It

249
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 3: was more than double of the team that got Team

250
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 3: Girls cut from last year's Great. So yeah, all points

251
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 3: to a really competitive and exciting season ahead.

252
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 2: Awesome.

253
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the key story in some

254
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: statues news I've got to do it statue, Bro, we

255
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: didn't even plan that. I like how I text you

256
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: at what ten pm last night, probably after you'd flown

257
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: in from Fiji, and said I'd like to talk about

258
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: this in the key story. I did put my hand

259
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: up to do the research, but I think you know

260
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: the way that this relationship work, that you got.

261
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: It done anyway. And here we are.

262
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: Last week the Queens and Government confirmed a six meter

263
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: wide and two point five meter tall statue of the

264
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: iconic Matilda's celebrating their penalty shoot at win. This statue

265
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: is going to be erected outside of Suncorp Stadium.

266
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 3: Can we talk about two point five minutes high? And

267
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 3: how my mind just went to who is that tall?

268
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 3: In the Matilda's team?

269
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: Two point five is very tall? Do they often make them,

270
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: They make them a little bit bigger than life.

271
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: Do we think?

272
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 3: Yeah? I like that anyway, I just from my mind,

273
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 3: I just went straight into picturing two point five meters now.

274
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 2: Is that a lot of Kennedy?

275
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 3: Maybe with the hands up.

276
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: Great.

277
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: There's been a fair amount of criticism, which was the

278
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: reason for wanting to talk about this in the key story,

279
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 1: many saying that a team that finished fourth in a

280
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: World Cup don't deserve the permanent recognition. Queenside Minister for

281
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: Women Shannon Fentman shared how the statue will be a

282
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: reminder of how the team brought joy to so many,

283
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 1: saying they are inspiring women and girls to become more

284
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: active and get involved in organized sport and it is

285
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: fantastic that their efforts will be recognized with a permanent tribute.

286
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: The Matilda's brought the country together through their performances and

287
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: had a profound impact on our sporting landscape.

288
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 2: The Bears.

289
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: What I asked was can we get some stats about

290
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: the existing statues in the country.

291
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: Hit us with the statue stats.

292
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 3: There's a number of statues outside sun Corps Stadium in Brisbane.

293
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 3: They are of Wullie Lewis Arthur Beats and Darren Locke out, Malmourninger,

294
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 3: Alan Langer and John Eels. Where they all have.

295
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: In common, they're all men.

296
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty one, Cricket Australia actually noted and kind

297
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 3: of put their hands up that there were seventy three

298
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 3: known statues of male cricketers in Australia, but how many

299
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 3: of women?

300
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 2: Yip?

301
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 3: Nil?

302
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: So.

303
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 3: In January twenty twenty three, a sculpture of Belinda Clark

304
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 3: was unveiled at the SCG, which is obviously a small

305
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 3: step in the right direction from ca the first cricket

306
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 3: statue of a female in the world.

307
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 2: Wow.

308
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. So Clark joined Olympic runners Betty Cuthbert and Marlene

309
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 3: Matthews to make up three women amongst the fifteen statues

310
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 3: outside the SCG. At the MCG, Cuthbert is joined by

311
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 3: Shirley Strickland as the two only the two female athletes

312
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 3: amongst sixteen statues, And there was a report there's been

313
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 3: some media around this. In twenty twenty three, it was

314
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 3: revealed that there were more public statues of animals than

315
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 3: women in Australia. The investigations showed that just seventeen percent

316
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 3: of statues in the center of Australia's capital city depict women.

317
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 2: It's so confronting here.

318
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 3: I'm all here for a dog in a tucker box,

319
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 3: but honestly, wow, it's quite ridiculous.

320
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 2: It's quite ridiculous.

321
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: So I think the biggest part of this discussion, Bears,

322
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: is that these tributes immortalize people that have contributed to

323
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: society on and off the sporting field. The simple fact

324
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: is that women are severely underrepresented in this space. Visibility

325
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: and recognition of those that paved the way and fought

326
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: so hard to make space for and inspire other women

327
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: and girls is crucial. The Materidas changed sport in Australia

328
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: last year.

329
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 2: They showed a.

330
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: Generation of girls that you can unite a country while

331
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: wearing the Green and gold. And I just want to

332
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: know to these men, like, I'm not joking. There were

333
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of men blocked to this

334
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: comment section on Facebook.

335
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: Instagram is fine, weird. Facebook is a cesspit.

336
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 3: I hate it there, so uncomfortable there.

337
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 2: It's not a good space.

338
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: And they just kept going about the fact that it

339
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: was a participation award. Sorry, who's written a rule about

340
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: the fact that you have to get a win a

341
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: world championship to get a statue.

342
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 2: Where's the rule book on that?

343
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 3: There is no rule book. And as you said, like

344
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 3: the most important thing here we say time and time

345
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 3: again is that visibility. And you know, sport wouldn't exist

346
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 3: if it wasn't for women. It's just full stop. Men's

347
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 3: sport wouldn't have exist if it was for women. So

348
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 3: you know, it's time that we actually celebrated women, how

349
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 3: they contribute. And at the end of the day, as

350
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 3: we said, the Matilda's stopped this country. Sure they came

351
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 3: forth at the end of the day, but my goodness,

352
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 3: there was not a single person that didn't watch that game.

353
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 3: And it should absolutely be im mortalized.

354
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: It should absolutely be immortalized. And what I want to

355
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: say to these men, because I'm just I'm having a

356
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: rant while I'm at it, not that they're going to

357
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: be listening to the podcast, but I'll put it on

358
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: Facebook to make sure they can see it and maybe

359
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: turn back the comments. If you're so passionate about needing

360
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: to win a world championship to get a statue, I'd

361
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: love to see you campaigning for the diamonds.

362
00:15:59,200 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 2: The cricketers.

363
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: A number of world champions that we have in women's

364
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: sport for them to be getting statues. So I look

365
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: forward to seeing your men campaigning for world champs to

366
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: get statues.

367
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 3: Mike dropped.

371
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 3: United a win at mckella Park, which is a makeup here.

372
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,640
