On Wednesday night, interim coach 50 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: Tom Soamani selected five rookies and eight players with fewer 51 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: than ten caps who took the field at some point 52 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: during the three to one win.

Six years ago, 57 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: the then twenty one year old stuffered a major concussion 58 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: while playing for Camber United, and after her sixth concussion 59 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: in December twenty eighteen, she was forced into retirement. Let's 60 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: just sold a number of concussions, isn't it sure? 61 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 3: Especially for someone so yes. 62 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: She was sitting in the stands watching the twenty twenty 63 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: three Women's World Cup when she thought she might have 64 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: one more shot at it. Eighteen months later, she debuted 65 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: for the Matildas and got herself on the score sheet. 66 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: She commented on her journey, saying coming back last season 67 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: properly to the Jets for a proper full season, and 68 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: again this year then obviously being called in to the Matildas. 69 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: It's been a long journey, but it's also happened quite quickly. 70 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 2: Feel like she must be kind of reflecting on the 71 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 2: fact that she started playing six years ago and then 72 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: obviously had that time off. 73 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: Whoa, So it's been a long. 74 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 2: Time, but also the ascension into the Matilda's team has 75 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 2: been quite quick. 76 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: She also is just good though, because you can't have 77 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: that much time off and then made the national team. 78 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: She's also just good. Like it's a very competitive national team. 79 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 3: I agree with you. 80 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: Thanks. On Saturday night, there are another two debuties, with 81 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: goalkeeper Chloe Lincoln and midfielder Laura Hughes making their debuts 82 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: from the bench. Claire Polkinghorn started the match in what 83 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: was her final appearance for the tilly They were quick 84 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: to get on the scoreboard, with Leah Davidson scoring her 85 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: first international goal in the sixth minute. There were five 86 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: more Tillies on the scoreesheet by full time, and the 87 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: six nil victory was a fitting way to end the year. 88 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: The Tillies will play next February at the sheev Leers Cut, 89 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: which we cheted about, which is quite exciting in the 90 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: United States, and they may very well have a new 91 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: head coach by that point in time. 92 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 2: I hope they have a new head coach by that time. 93 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 2: I think the interim coach obviously he's doing a great job, 94 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 2: but there's some big things on the horizon. They need 95 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 2: to find themselves a head coach and get settled in 96 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 2: and have that embedded. 97 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: And still don't think he could be the long term option. 98 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: He might be, but the getting to lock it in, 99 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: they need to lock it in exactly. 100 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so some money. 101 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 2: Speaking of him, he hasn't held back when sharing his 102 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 2: view on the development of the wider Matilda squad. 103 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 3: He told me, and you're in the lead up to. 104 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 2: The Chinese Taipei matches, the Matildas have had a very 105 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 2: consistent squad for four years and what's happened with that 106 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 2: is it hasn't allowed opportunities for other players. 107 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 3: One of the key things is a national. 108 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 2: Team coach is you've got to play for the present, 109 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 2: but plan for the future, and I think in all fairness, 110 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 2: I don't think we've planned for the future well enough. 111 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 2: We do need to look at expanding the competition within 112 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 2: what I would call the matildad's program. It's a really 113 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 2: interesting one. So you think about that, how does that, 114 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 2: what does that look like? You know, at the end 115 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 2: of the day, you cannot me pick a squad for 116 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 2: each Tillies match, so he's probably had a cracket at 117 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 2: Gustasin saying he hasn't tried enough different combinations and he's 118 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 2: really just settled on a smaller squad. 119 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 3: So it's tough. 120 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: Like I think home World Cup was the pinnacle. I 121 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: just think like in my opinion, that takes priority over 122 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: too much future planning. I think once the World Cup 123 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 1: cycle finishes like they're doing now, then you blood the 124 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: new players. 125 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 3: I don't know, I agree. 126 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 2: In the Cricket In Cricket Atlist Berry and George de 127 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 2: vall put on a batting clinic on Saturday Sunday at 128 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 2: Allan Borderfield. 129 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 3: Vole, in only her second match in. 130 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 2: The Aussie colors, scored one hundred and one of just 131 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 2: eighty seven deliveries. 132 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: How good Alongside. 133 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 2: Her was the goat who smashed a record breaking six 134 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 2: six's in her innings of one hundred and five off 135 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 2: just seventy five balls.

Susie Bakovic, who finished her career 245 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: with eight hundred and forty three, Rachel Spawn eight hundred 246 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: and twenty three, and Shelley Sandy five two hundred and 247 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: four are the only other players to bring up the 248 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: milestone in the league's forty five year existence.

That's cool. I 262 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: want to be part of that team. 263 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,479 Speaker 3: I love the Valkyries. 264 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: The league held an expansion draft where the WNBA's thirteenth 265 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: organization had the opportunity to draft up one player from 266 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 1: each of the pre existing twelve teams. Teams had to 267 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: nominate six players that were safe from drafting. All other 268 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: players on existing rosters were fair game. It's so brutal, 269 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: it's wild. 270 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 2: And let's talk about the fact that this used to 271 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 2: happen in the NWSL and the teams used to release 272 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 2: the players that were protected or safe, and it caused 273 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 2: massive dramas in the change rooms as it potentially would like, 274 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 2: what do you mean, so they used to Actually the 275 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 2: teams would say so. For instance, Angel City would say, 276 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 2: he's our list. I think it was more than six. 277 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 2: I was six, the biggest quad size, but he's our 278 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 2: list of players you can't touch in this expansion draft. 279 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 2: You can touch these ones. And so the ones that 280 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 2: weren't picked up would obviously feel a bit unloved and 281 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 2: got Yeah for some real drama, for sure, like this. 282 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 2: The top six for these the w NBA teams was 283 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 2: kept quite. 284 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: Oh sorry, when you said they released I think when 285 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: they released them from the club, they released it publicly. Yeah, 286 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: they shared it. That's unhealthy. 287 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 3: It's not good? 288 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 2: Is it? 289 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: Well? But well, Steph Talbert knows that she wasn't protecting 290 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: now because she got picked up. But she's moving up 291 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: the coast. 292 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,719 Speaker 2: How good from the La Sparks and she had a 293 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 2: good season with the La Sparks. 294 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: I hope she kills it with the Valcherries.

It's got like a 300 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: few lines? I think from what I saw of the logo, 301 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 1: I don't know. 302 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 3: Call me on school, I don't mind.

Yeah, okay, 450 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 2: and I think we'll see her creep up the list 451 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 2: in years to come up.

The women's sport 473 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: market grew thirty percent in the last year, driven by 474 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: greater investment in sponsorship, broadcasting, and commercial partnerships. This increase 475 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: comes as a direct result of increased viewership, attendance, and 476 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: engagement across the women's sports landscape. 477 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 2: And powerful ROI opportunities.

Women's sports offer brands 481 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,479 Speaker 2: the opportunity to show up in powerful, authentic ways that 482 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 2: resonate with key consumer values and at a lower price point. 483 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: Love it.

Sixty seven 486 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: percent so good, you'd be ridiculous not to sponsor women's sports, 487 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: very silly. They know that the relative youth of women's 488 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 1: competitions the NBA had a five decade head start versus 489 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: the WNBA, for example, means there is less brand clutter 490 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: for interested marketers to compete against. There is also, for 491 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: the time being, lower costs to get involved, as you said, bears, 492 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: resulting in a higher return on investment. Common sense investing 493 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: women's sports. 494 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:06,679 Speaker 3: Investing women's sports. 495 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: Let's say, look, go what to watch? 496 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 2: The final game of the three ODI series for our 497 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 2: Aussie cricketers will be against India on Wednesday at the Whacka. 498 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 2: The matchal start at three twenty pm a DT and 499 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,360 Speaker 2: we'll be live on the Seven Network and care Sports. 500 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: In round six of the Ale, the Western Sydney Wanderers 501 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: host Western United FC at Coombank Stadium on Saturday.
