Speaker 3: I'm pretty good friend. How was your weekend?

15
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: Well, we had a lovely time up the coast up

16
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: at Crescent Head for one of my good friends weddings,

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: and I had a nine am meat pie on my

18
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: way back this morning and I've actually got to take

19
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: away vanilla slice from Heather Bray, the best vanilla slice

20
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: in Australia.

21
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 3: Traveling pie is how good?

22
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: I'd love to do a Traveling Teeth app with Vanilla

23
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: Slice all the way.

24
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: We just do a tour of the East Coast bakeries.

25
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: Except I never know how to eat vanilla slice.

26
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 3: With your mouth.

27
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: No, like they just they just I've got it right

28
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: here with me.

29
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: It's not very well, it's definitely not a car food

30
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: unless you want it.

31
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: That is so delicious. Sorry, I was not playing. I'm

32
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: gonna have to finish my mouth this.

33
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: This podcast is sponsored by Vanilla Slices.

34
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:55,400

37
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: down the name of the Nila Slice space. Let's take

38
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: a look around the grounds in AFLW. The Demons did it. Oh,

39
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: my prediction was wrong. I wanted them to win, but

40
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: I thought the lines were going to be too good.

41
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: And oh I'm stoked for them.

42
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 2: Obviously I got it right. But also I was remissed

43
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: to not note last week that now did I get

44
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: the World Cup result for the women's rugby fifteen's right?

45
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: I actually got the margin correct too.

46
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: In the rugby so car yeah, that was ages ago.

47
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: You've missed the boat.

48
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: There well, look, your dad actually mentioned it to me.

49
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: He goes, you got the margin right, and everything bears

50
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh my god, I didn't even realize.

51
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: Did you get the margin right from the AFOW Grand Final.

52
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 3: I'm sure I picked one.

53
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: I can't remember what you said.

54
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 3: Maybe by a goal, so yes, I did.

55
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: Close enough, close enough, Okay, let me get back to

56
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: my story. Thank you. Sunday vo in Springfield was humored

57
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: and tense. They had to bring in some rules around

58
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: the heat. Melbourne skipper, who is an icon in women's football,

59
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: was in her element. Four hundred and twelve people packed

60
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: into the new Springfield Ground in Ipswich to witness Melbourne

61
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: win their first ever AFOW flag. They won two goals

62
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: seven nineteen to two goals three fifteen. The Brisbane line

63
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: started the better of the two teams, with Dakota Davidson

64
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: and Catherine Spark kicking back to back majors in the

65
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: first quarter. The D's got their first goal in the

66
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: second quarter when Blathan Mackin capitalized on the D's pressure.

67
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: The lines had turned it over in their defensive fifty.

68
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: There was a lot of pressure around the footy as

69
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: both teams parloreed on their two of the best midfields

70
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: obviously in the competition, and there was a fair bit

71
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: going on around the ball, but the lines were kept

72
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: scoreless in the second quarter, while another two behinds from

73
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: the Demons meant they were trailing by only two points

74
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: at halftime. In the third quarter, Taylor Harris took a

75
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: great mark pretty much right in front of goal and

76
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: kicked it truly as they say, for a goal for

77
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: the D's to take a four point lead. The final

78
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: quarter was so stressful, bit of a chess match, with

79
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: neither team being able to find the goal they so

80
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: desperately desired. Melbourne held on this Oh the siren going

81
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: was a big moment, wasn't it. They had to, I

82
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: guess overcome the heartbreak of losing a Grand Final earlier

83
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: this year because we have played two seasons in a year.

84
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: So I think the way that they were able to

85
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: bounce back and seal that one over the favorites was

86
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: very very special. Postmatch, Daisy refused to discuss her future

87
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: in the game, instead heaving praise on her playing group,

88
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: coaching staff and the club. She said she was pretty

89
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: she was pretty pretty blunt in some of her statements,

90
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: wasn't she I loved it.

91
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, she was super candidate and it was very nice,

92
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:57,799
Speaker 3: very nice.

93
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: She said, I'm just so proud of our They played

94
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: their absolute hearts out. I'm not thinking any further ahead

95
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: than that right now. Don't make me even think about

96
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: it and rob me of these moments. I'm just so

97
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: proud of this team. When asked about the venue, Pierre said,

98
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: we don't care where we're playing. We're playing in a

99
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: grand final and we're going up there to win it.

100
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: They invited the wrong team to their housewarming, savage, but

101
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: I like it.

102
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 3: So good, so yeah.

103
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 2: Daisy also paid tribute to head coach at Mix Sninier

104
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 2: and had a dig at some other clubs when she noted,

105
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: we don't have the best facility in the comp We're

106
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 2: a bit off Broadway. We're not the most popular team,

107
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: and we don't have all the bells and whistles. We

108
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 2: don't give wear cars to players that come to us.

109
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: But we've got the best coach in the competition. That

110
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 2: helps make you a good footballer.

111
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 3: Love that.

112
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: Lion's defender Shannon Campbell was named player of the match

113
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 2: after registering five hundred and sixty two meters gained from

114
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 2: nineteen disposals, taking eight marks and winning nine intercepts. She

115
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: was the first to win Best on Ground from a

116
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: losing team in AFLW history.

117
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: This you knew that I was going to discuss this,

118
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: Can you win Best on Ground if you're part of

119
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: the losing team? Because I think no. I think in

120
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: the case of a Grand Final, I think no. And

121
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: Shannon was excellent. It felt a lot of the time

122
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: Melbourne were when there was a lot of pressure on them,

123
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 1: particularly towards the end of the game, they just kept surge,

124
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: kicking it right and it felt like she was just everywhere.

125
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: So she played exceptionally. I just don't think Best on

126
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: Ground from a Grand Final can go to the losing team.

127
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: It's my opinion. Wait, so do you agree that you

128
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: can do?

129
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: I do, But sometimes it's a you know, obviously player

130
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: of the match, she's a very individual award, and you

131
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: can have a screen mut and still lose because your

132
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: team's not good enough.

133
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 3: You know, you can still stand out.

134
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: I do think it's a hollow It must be a

135
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: very hollow feeling for that person to win on a

136
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: losing team.

137
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: Though, Yeah, I think I felt for Shannon Campbell having

138
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: to get up there and do a speech. Yeah, yeah,

139
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: but I mean she played very well.

140
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 2: From an optics perspective, absolutely, it should be a winning

141
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 2: player who's pumped and gets to wear two medals out

142
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 2: that night, you know. Like, But yeah, I think as

143
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: a rule, I still think that if you've really excelled

144
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: and you've beat but your team's just come up short,

145
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 2: you can still win the bog.

146
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: Also last week, the AFLW announced a new all time

147
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: AFLW club membership record of seventy five thousand, five hundred

148
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: and sixty eight AFLW members. That number surpassed the record

149
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: of forty eighty seven hundred and twelve that was set

150
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: for season six. The season seven total is fifty five

151
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: percent growth season on season. Seventeen of the eighteen clubs

152
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: achieved AFLW membership records, with Sydney Swans with seven hundred

153
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: and fifty seven that was a hard number to read,

154
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: the Adelaide.

155
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 3: Seventy seven, seventy sevens.

156
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: Adelaide Crows six seven six and Geelongkats five nine three

157
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: eight the top three clubs.

158
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 3: Well done again.

159
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: Another another stat that makes it slightly confound, and that

160
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 2: they played in a stadium that only held eight thousand

161
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,239
Speaker 2: people on Sunday.

162
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 3: But we'll move on from that.

163
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: I like that you were saying well done, and I

164
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: thought you were saying well done for me reading the

165
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: numbers sound correctly.

166
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 3: No, well on to all the people.

167
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: In all honesty, though, this is really an area that

168
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: you can you buy memberships. It supports the clubs like

169
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: this an genuine area where you can make change in

170
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: women's sport. So get out there and buy memberships. People

171
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: in whatever code it is that you love all all

172
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: of the codes, actually just buy more. Great in WBBL

173
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: another code that you love.

174
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 3: I love.

175
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 2: Adelaide Strikers have created history by what in their first

176
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: WBBL Championship with a ten run triumph over the Sydney

177
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 2: Sixers in the final the Striker's bad at First and

178
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 2: West Indies all round. DeAndre Dotton knocked a classy fifty

179
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: two not out off thirty seven balls. She was well

180
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 2: supported by Katie Max who was thirty one off twenty

181
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 2: six and Tylie McGrath twenty four off twenty one. That's

182
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 2: at a total of five f one hundred and forty

183
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: seven for the Sydney Sixers to chase on their home

184
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: ground at North Sydney Oval, but Dotton not only knocked

185
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 2: up the runs, she came out and fired with the

186
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 2: ball as well.

187
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 3: She took two wickets to solidify her.

188
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: Player of the match performance from a winning team, which

189
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: I'm sure pleased Chloe Ossie Quick. Darcy Round also chimed

190
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: in with two wickets to be the best of the

191
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 2: Striker's bowlers, conceding just fifteen runs from her four overs.

192
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 2: The Sixers struggled early in their run chase to be

193
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: four for sixteen at one stage, with Alyssa Healy one

194
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: and Ash Gardner a duck making no impression against the

195
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 2: Striker's bowling attack and look they never really recovered from

196
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 2: that start.

197
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 3: Those two are obviously two of their strike batters.

198
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 2: Elise Perry and Nicole Bolton seted the six innings with

199
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: a sixty run stand for the fifth wicket, but their

200
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 2: partnership ended when Bolton was bowled by Tarlie McGrath for

201
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: thirty two, before Perry was removed by Darcy Brown for

202
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: thirty three.

203
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 3: It was a sweet victory for.

204
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 2: The Adelaide team in front of over six and a

205
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 2: half thousand fans at North Sydney Oval. The Strikers had

206
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 2: finished running it runners up in the last two WBBL seasons,

207
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 2: and Tylie McGrath said after the match, this one's been

208
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: a long time in the making, which makes it that

209
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: extra special when you get so close so many times,

210
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 2: you keep the same group together that you keep fighting

211
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: and you finally get one. The Strikers obviously had a

212
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 2: pretty hectic week in a thirty six hour period, from

213
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: defeating the Brisbane Heat in the Challenger and the Challenger

214
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 2: on Thursday evening, to catching a six am flight to

215
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 2: Sydney on the Friday morning to the first ball of

216
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: the final being bold at five twenty on Saturday. Avo

217
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 2: McGrath said, look, the hectic schedule may have given her

218
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: slide momentum, but overall it was their composure both leading

219
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: into the game and during it they gave him the edge.

220
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: She said, this one's special for me for different reasons.

221
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 2: It's my home state, it's something I'm really passionate about.

222
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 2: I've been there since day one. And Nicole Bolton also

223
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 2: announced her retirement. She's been an amazing bossie cricketer.

224
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 1: In More Cricket, as somewhat new look Australian squad was

225
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: announced for the upcoming tour of India, and they'll be

226
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: led by Elisa Healey, who will captain Australia for the

227
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: first time. Heally will lead a team which includes teenage

228
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: batterer Phoebe Litchfield, ex Ireland quick Kim Garth and all

229
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: round a Heather Graham, who are all in line to

230
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: make Australian Tea twenty international debuts on next month's five

231
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: match tour of India after bolting into the fifteen player

232
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: touring party. The tour serves as crucial preparation for the

233
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: t twenty World Cup next February in South Africa. Heally

234
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: steps in as Meg Lanning continues her break away from

235
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: the game and she's excited to lead the group, saying

236
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: it's just an amazing group of women at the moment

237
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: that have done some really amazing things over the last

238
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: four years. Heally wasn't sure whether she was the right

239
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: person to lead the Australian Tea twenty team in India,

240
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: but some words from Lanning helped convince her. Speaking after

241
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: the announcement, Heley said about Lanning, I was fortunate enough

242
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: to be able to break the news to her myself,

243
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: which was really cool. She was really toughed. I've been

244
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: chatting to her. She's going really well, looking forward to

245
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: coming back at some point. That's really pleasing for us

246
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: as a team that hopefully she'll be back around the group.

247
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 3: In golf.

248
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 2: Next weekend's Australian Open, we'll see a first for golf

249
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 2: in Australia when a major is played in a dual

250
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: gender format. The tournament we played at both Victoria Golf

251
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: Club and at Kingston Heath Thursday and Friday will be

252
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 2: split across the two courses. Before the first cut and

253
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 2: then the final two days of the tournament we played

254
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 2: at the Victoria Golf Club.

255
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 3: So there's been a bit of chat around this.

256
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 2: Australia's top female golfer, Minji Lee said it's a huge

257
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 2: win for fans. We'll be able to watch men and

258
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: women compete alongside each other as they do at.

259
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 3: Tennis Grand Slam tournaments.

260
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 2: There's equal prize money for both the men and women

261
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 2: of one point seven million dollars. Yeah, so that's equal.

262
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 2: And Lee's excited, as they said, to play against the men,

263
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 2: and she said, I'm going to have a great time

264
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 2: and I think a lot of people are going to

265
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 2: have a great time. A lot of people can come

266
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 2: and watch both men's and women's golf.

267
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: Hang on, sorry, do they play? They don't play against

268
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: each other? Is it just alongside each other?

269
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's like a tennis major. So I don't

270
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 2: know the exact format, but I would assume maybe a

271
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: group of four women hit off and then a group

272
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 2: of four men hit off and then etc. So yes,

273
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: there's obviously always another side to it. Olympian Scott Hend

274
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 2: has criticized the format, arguing that men and women should

275
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 2: each have their own Australian Opens rather than sharing the stage,

276
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 2: and said I have no issue playing with the ladies.

277
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: I just think the Australian Open deserves more recognition for

278
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 2: the ladies and the men. We should have our own

279
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 2: separate weeks. Hen said he felt a combined tournament meant

280
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: to female golfers would be unfairly compared with the men.

281
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: Hey at Scott Hend, I think the women can decide

282
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: whether or not they're being unfairly compared. Thank you so much.

283
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 2: Though your contribution has been noted and fire appropriately.

284
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: Goal of Australia boss James Sutherland has defended the format,

285
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: which is a first for National Open. He said, one,

286
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: we've seen the VIC Open, which is a format which

287
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: has been played for a number of years very successfully

288
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: down at Thirteenth Beach. But also we've drawn inspiration from

289
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: the tennis we see that putting the men and women

290
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: on the same stage, it's a great celebration of golf.

291
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: It exposes the game in a different sort of way,

292
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: and we're really looking forward to the opportunity for crowds

293
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: to come to the game and see men and women

294
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: together on that same stage. In more golf news, the

295
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: LPGA announced that tour persons will top a record one

296
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars in twenty twenty three US dollars. Woo,

297
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: that's like probably close to three hundred mil with the

298
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: current dollars.

299
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 3: I told you chose it on score.

300
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, if I ever have a kid. The LPGA's

301
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: thirty three official events next year will have a combined

302
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: one hundred and one point four million dollars in purses,

303
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: an increase of about eighteen percent over what was planned

304
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: for this season and more than doubling what was paid

305
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: out on the tour just a decade ago. LPGA Commissioner

306
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: Molly macou Saman was pleased with the increase, but was

307
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: quick to point out that the LPGA still has plenty

308
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: of room for growth. She said, I think we're trying

309
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: to grow as much as we can possibly grow. I

310
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: think it's a milestone, not a target. Ooh Ano the

311
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: T shirt. There's so many these smart women everywhere, aren't there.

312
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: I think it just symbolizes the next level of evolution

313
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: for the tour. But I don't think we feel like

314
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: we're done. We feel like there's much more investment to

315
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: be had in the women's game, and we're passionate about

316
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: getting that. The five women's golf majors account for thirty

317
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: seven point nine million dollars of the planned persons, led

318
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: by ten million dollars set to be paid out of

319
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: the US Women's Open at Pebble Beach next July.

320
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 3: It's not too late for end third sport, fird sport

321
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 3: coming in hot. Oh.

322
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: Ten million dollars is tempting, isn't it?

323
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 3: In soccer? Leaving that alone?

324
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: In soccer, the A League A Grand Final replay saw

325
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 2: a reversal of the result from last season, with Sydney

326
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: FC securing a two nil win over the Melbourne Victory

327
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 2: on the weekend. Prized Sydney FC recruit Madison Hayley scored

328
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: a goal on debut when she pounced on a loose

329
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: pass in the forty first minute and was quickly through

330
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 2: on goal. She had plenty to do, though, she had

331
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 2: to round Victory keeper Casey Dumont, which was good enough

332
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 2: to finish in the far top corner from a tight

333
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 2: angle for a well deserved opener. The sky Blues doubled

334
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 2: their lead in the first half stoppage time when Princess

335
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: Ebinie ran to almost the same spot Hailey had scored

336
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 2: from across the ball. She might look to have had

337
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 2: the threat covered, but fumbled the ball into defender Kayla Morrison,

338
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 2: who could only knock the rebound back into the goal.

339
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 2: Hate own goals, They're just horrible, look on their face.

340
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: Newcomers Western United had backed up their opening round win

341
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: with a dominant display against the Wellington Phoenix Americans strike

342
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 2: duo Jess McDonald and Hannah Keene were immense and found

343
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 2: the back of the net to help their team to

344
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 2: a four to one victory. They the only team to

345
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: have kicked off the season with two wins and sit

346
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 2: on top of the ladder.

347
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: In triathon, Lauren Parker was once again up against her

348
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: great rival from America, Kendall Gretch. So we know what

349
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: happened at the Tokyo Paralympics. We've chatted about it a

350
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: few times on the wrap, the heartbreaking moment where she

351
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: got pipped just at the line. And I kind of

352
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: feel for Lauren Parker because I feel like now every

353
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 1: time they come up against each other, it's almost this

354
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: talk of like getting revenge every single time, which I'm

355
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: sure there's a level of that, but I'm sure she's

356
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: also like, I just want to go out and compete

357
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: and win the race. But she's done it. She won

358
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: her third wheelchair Paratriathon World title in Abu dharby some

359
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: pretty hot conditions and in the bike leg she actually

360
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: had to pull over and do a few mechanical things.

361
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: Did she do a DIY?

362
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 4: Do you know?

363
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: I imagine that they're well equipped to fix her own equipment.

364
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,719
Speaker 3: I think so. I think they do have a handler.

365
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 3: Though I haven't seen the footage of it.

366
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to look it up after this.

367
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 3: It was a battery ration, Yes, I saw that.

368
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: How does that work? I'm sure is there a bit

369
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: of extra push from a battery.

370
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 3: Noting to do with gears or yeah.

371
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 1: Right, okay, I'm gonna have to look this up and

372
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: to be continued next week's episode.

373
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 3: On board air conditioning.

374
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: Oh, that would be a nice little fan. That would

375
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: be lovely. She overcame the issue and she held on

376
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: to beat a fast finishing gretch by fifteen seconds. It's

377
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: not a long time, is it? In one hour eight

378
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 1: seconds zero point forty three have not now that I

379
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: never nailed those. After the race, she admitted, my gears

380
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: stopped working on the first lap of the bike, so

381
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: I had to change batteries. But I overcame that kept

382
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: pushing on and I did it. For the first time

383
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: ever in the sport. A paratriathon mixed relay was held

384
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: in Abi Dhrby. The showcase event saught nine team sign

385
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: up two from Australia and USA, France, Italy and three

386
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: World Triathon Mixed nationality teams. Several of the freshly crowned

387
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two world champs were among the athletes making

388
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: a piece of history. Team Australia Number two, which is

389
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: a team of Parker alongside Jeremy Peacock and Sam Harding

390
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: won the race from Team USA Number one. Peacock said

391
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: after the race to break the tape and take it

392
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: home in the first race was a huge honor. It's

393
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: such a great opportunity for paratriathon. We've seen what it

394
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: has done on the Olympic program, so hopefully we can

395
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: do the same for the Paralympic program. Now, that was

396
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: an epic first event. We all have learned a lot today.

397
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 2: I think it's quite tricky from what I was reading

398
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 2: in regards to forming the teams based on how different.

399
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,719
Speaker 3: A lot of people's abilities.

400
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 2: Are and what their classifications are. So that's why I

401
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 2: think it's only relatively new.

402
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, So they have to do similar to say,

403
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: like wheelchair rugby with the points system. Is that how

404
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: they've done it?

405
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 3: Yes, I believe so.

406
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 2: In rugby union and Charlotte Kaslick has claimed her third

407
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 2: World Rugby Seven's Player of the Year award at the

408
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 2: World Rugby Awards in Monaco last week. Australias women's seven

409
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 2: team won colm Games, Goal A, World Cup and the

410
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 2: World Series in twenty twenty two, and Kaslick was instrumental.

411
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 3: In all contests.

412
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 2: Ozzie Seven's teammates Madison Levi and Faith Nathan were also.

413
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 3: Up for the award, but it was Kaslick who got

414
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 3: the gong.

415
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 2: On accepting it the award, Charlotte said, I think we've

416
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 2: just had a really fun year. We have a great

417
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 2: group of girls with Maddie and Faith also nominated, but

418
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 2: the whole squad has been awesome all year as a group.

419
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 2: We've really reflected on the past eighteen months from the

420
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 2: Tokyo Olympics and that disappointment and really turned it around.

421
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 2: The team are currently in Dubai preparing for Round one

422
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 2: of the World Series, which starts on Friday. No rest

423
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 2: for the girls, no rest, They've just been grinding away.

424
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 2: Congrats to Charlie.

425
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: It's a very impressive effort and very well deserved that award.

426
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: Now it's time for the key story. Did you know

427
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: that of Australia and menstruators have had to change to

428
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: a less suitable period product due to the cost. We

429
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: know that period poverty has had long lasting impacts on

430
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: the daily lives of women, girls and those who menstruate.

431
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: Forty eight percent have missed education classes due to their periods,

432
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: and sixty five percent have missed sports because of their periods.

433
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: The WNBL will be hosting a Fighting Period Poverty round

434
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: during round four of the season this week to raise

435
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: awareness for this important cause. We're very lucky to have

436
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: the chance to sit down and chat with WNBL superstar

437
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: and Australian opal Annlie Maylee about this round. Annalie, firstly,

438
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: can you tell us why this round is so important?

439
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 5: Thank you for having me.

440
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 4: This round is important because I think that, especially coming

441
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 4: up in sports, we've always been taught that, you know,

442
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 4: a period is something to be shameful of and to

443
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 4: hide and not discuss. And I definitely think that when

444
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 4: we talk about period poverty and period you know information

445
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 4: in general, you know, not a lot of people know

446
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 4: a lot about it. You know, we have the players

447
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 4: who you know, men straight, and then there's coaching coaching staff.

448
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 4: There's a lot of you know, husbands and brothers and men.

449
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 5: In the league that don't know much about it either.

450
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 4: So I think that it's super important and I'm really

451
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 4: proud of the WNBL for getting involved with fighting period

452
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 4: poverty because it not only destigmatizes something that needs to

453
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 4: be talked about more in menstruation and period but it

454
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 4: also highlights that not everyone has access to the basic

455
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 4: necessities of you know.

456
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 5: Period hygiene.

457
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 4: And when I say, you know, you know, when we

458
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 4: talk about young women and girls that need to see this,

459
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 4: but not all women get periods, and not all people

460
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 4: that get periods of women. So you know, we're just

461
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 4: talking about people in general that experience menstruation and it

462
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 4: should be a product that's accessible.

463
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,959
Speaker 5: To everyone, especially people in sport.

464
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 4: And you know, I just think that I think that

465
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 4: we have a platform and we have the opportunity to

466
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 4: not only inform people but make a change, and that

467
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 4: is you know, hopefully it's around that we continue for

468
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 4: the years to come.

469
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so so important and I'll chat at the

470
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: end of this about how people who are listening can

471
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: get on board to support it as well. So that

479
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 4: A game of basketball really in pre season, and then

480
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 4: we had three games and then a break, and I

481
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 4: think we're all just itching.

482
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: It's like you're back to pre seasons.

483
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 4: Yes, we're all just itching to get back out on

484
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 4: the basketball court. And you know, hard, tough games are

485
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 4: fun games. You know, that's going to be a fun,

486
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 4: really entertaining game of basket. And I can't wait to

487
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 4: watch it back, you know, like I can't wait to play,

488
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 4: but like the basketball is.

489
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 5: Fun of it.

490
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 4: And you know, one of the girls in our team

491
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 4: is a Townsville native, Alicia Prowlings, a Townsville local service start.

492
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 5: So at least you know, we'll have one one family

493
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 5: carry for us in the crowd. So no, it'll be

494
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 5: a really good game. I'm really excited.

495
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: And talk to us about your WNBL career so far.

496
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: So named the twenty one twenty two MVP, which was massive.

497
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: What was it like kind of making your way through progressing,

498
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: improving as a play art to then get to the

499
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: point where I think you top scored for the league

500
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: and then you were named MVP for that season as well.

501
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it still doesn't feel right when people

502
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 4: tell me that I was the MVP last year.

503
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 5: That's still not something that resonates in my brain.

504
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 4: I don't know, Like I just always thought that I

505
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 4: was playing basketball and I was just enjoying myself. And

506
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 4: then sometimes when people bring it up, I'm like, oh, yeah,

507
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 4: like like that was gay.

508
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 5: Like I feel like it was just a bit of

509
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 5: a dream, I guess.

510
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 4: But I mean I didn't focus, you know, and when

511
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 4: I when I think about last year and all the

512
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 4: other years, I guess the highlight for me was the everyday,

513
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 4: the trainings.

514
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,239
Speaker 5: The pathway that got me to that.

515
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 4: Not really that in and of itself, like being an

516
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 4: MVP was amazing, but and it was a really you

517
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 4: know something that I'm honored to have been, you know, awarded.

518
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 4: But for me, the highlight was the whole entire season.

519
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 4: It was the monotony of every single day. It was

520
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 4: the small interactions I had with everyone, Like that season

521
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 4: was you know, it's the MVP moments, you know, those

522
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 4: those small things that you know made it worth it.

523
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 4: Like the journey, as corny as it sounds, that the

524
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 4: process of getting me to a moment was the most

525
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 4: enjoyable experience for me. And you know, if anyone had

526
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 4: followed my career, they would know that the seat the

527
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 4: two seasons before, I barely shot the ball, like barely

528
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 4: shot the ball. I wasn't really a scorer. I've always

529
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 4: been a defender and a rebounder. But you know, I

530
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 4: just decided that that was something about my game that

531
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 4: I really wanted to change and hone in on.

532
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 5: And I worked really really hard to get to that place.

533
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 4: And I still don't think I've reached my ceiling yet,

534
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 4: and there's so.

535
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 5: Many things in my game that I still want to

536
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 5: improve on.

537
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 4: But really, for me, it's just about refinding myself and

538
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 4: enjoying the game, finding my why, you know, because we

539
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 4: can play basketball every day, but if we don't know.

540
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 5: The why behind it, like why am I doing this?

541
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 4: And I feel like I really found my why last year,

542
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 4: and you know, I'm even trying to further dive into

543
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,719
Speaker 4: that and what that is for me again this season,

544
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 4: and what my identity is like as a basketball player,

545
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 4: as a person outside of basketball that all plays into

546
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 4: the way that I perform on the basketball court. So

547
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 4: that's just something that I'm trying to work on and

548
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 4: currently grow on. And yeah, I really think that if

549
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,719
Speaker 4: there's anything that I can say to the people that

550
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 4: have big achievements is to just look at the The

551
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 4: process should be the achievement.

552
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 5: If that makes sense.

553
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that. I imagine a big contributor to the

554
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: why I would have been the Basketball World Cup on

555
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: home soil earlier this year. I sat in the stands

556
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: and just cried most of the time. It was a

557
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: great time. But I think you were the second most

558
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: soul jersey after the goat and he every time you

559
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: came onto the court, the crowd just erupted. Was that?

560
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: What was that feeling? Like?

561
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 4: The experience with the fans for me was unreal, Like

562
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 4: I had some crazy support, which you know was probably

563
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 4: the first time in my career I've ever felt like

564
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 4: a professional athlete in that sense, like recognize when I'm

565
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 4: going to get coffee, and I think, for me, like

566
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 4: the coolest thing even now is like I go to

567
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 4: junior basketball stadiums to watch my cousins stuff like that,

568
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 4: and I have young kids coming up to me asking

569
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 4: for me to I'm their mainlely jerseys Like that is

570
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 4: like mind blowing, Like That's something that I've never thought

571
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 4: i'd experience in my playing career. So I think that

572
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 4: I just I'm very outspoken, and I'm true to myself,

573
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 4: and I have a big personality, and I'm I'm harsh,

574
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 4: I'm rough around the edges. I'm just me, and I

575
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 4: think that maybe there are a lot of people out

576
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 4: there that can relate to that.

577
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 5: I'm also very vulnerable.

578
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 4: I talk a lot about the stuff that I've been through,

579
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 4: and all I try to do is give the most

580
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 4: amount of time that I can to everyone that comes

581
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 4: up to me and wants to talk or get a

582
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 4: picture or get an autograph, or like even just you know,

00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 4: get some advice about basketball or life.

584
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: You know.

Speaker 5: Give them the opportunity to get to know me. And

588
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 5: the fact that.

589
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 4: That I had that type of support from the fans

590
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 4: was I couldn't believe it.

591
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 5: Like I didn't play that much.

592
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,320
