I'm back. I 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:40.760 am here in your ear drums. 0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:43.560 Hello, dear listeners, I'm so happy to be back. I've 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:46.880 missed you and I've missed you Abby Gelby so much. 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:48.400 What an adventure. 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:52.080 We were just reflecting on exactly how long you've been away. 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:54.920 You have not been in the state of your home 0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:58.280 since round one of the AFL season. 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:00.480 That's right, that's right, yeahye yah yah. 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:02.360 That's obviously how normal people measure time. 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:04.479 Of course, of course, of course I can't say too 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:07.839 much about where I've been, what I've been doing, how 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:09.160 long I've been doing it. 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:12.640 But it's been years It's been. 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:18.600 Four years to be exacted, since I have been here 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:22.920 in Australia, in Victoria, across from you, Jelmy, sitting at 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.360 this desk. I am a bit confused and just a 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.520 bit overwhelmed by everything that I've missed. Because when you 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:31.720 do something like the amazing project that I just got 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:32.240 to do. 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:36.160 You get to say the amazing race. Where do you 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:38.160 get to do the amazing tim Did God tell me 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:39.840 that we are allowed to say it? Because I've been 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.600 saying it every week, So please tell me that you're 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:44.640 allowed to declare that you're on the amazing Yes. 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:46.640 No, there was only a moment where I was and 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:48.120 then it came out and I'm for. 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:48.800 A legal battle. 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:53.680 So thank God, Yes, did the amazing race, which essentially 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:57.320 means that you're plucked from your life and just taken 0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:00.320 away for a you know, unknown amount of time, visit 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.840 numerous countries, don't know exactly what you're doing. But because 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.040 of that, you don't have access to your phone a 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:09.639 whole lot of the time. So I have missed so much, 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.800 not only in my personal life but the sporting world. 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:14.920 The list is long. The list is long. 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:16.480 I know, you know, like talk about it. All, but 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:18.160 I'm not letting you get away with that being just 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:22.160 the skim over the top of what you givers. Listeners 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.720 of shows that I would back Georgie into absolutely dominate 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:29.400 spelling Bee obviously one of them. A genior champion the chase, 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:32.000 you would be elite. I feel like with any multiple 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:36.040 choice sort of knowledge answers, you would kill it. Amazing 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:40.079 Race for me, presented some problems to you, mostly because 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:43.800 of our cycling skills are not up to par with 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:45.720 what your swimming skills are. That's right, And I just 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:47.440 feel like in a lot of countries that is a 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.840 primary mode of transport and for this to be a 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:53.120 race type scenario, I was concerned for you, I was 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:54.760 concerned for Robert. There were many layers. 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:59.799 Yes, yes, how did you go? Well, it's so right, jellmy. 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.480 And for those who don't know, dear listeners, I'm sure 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:04.480 you are aware, but like I can't ride a bike, 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:10.880 so in a situation like the Amazing Race, you know 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:13.959 you're right, Jermy, popular mode of transportation, I hear, I hear, 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:17.200 So does that come up this series? 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.360 Potentially? Potentially it does. 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.280 All I can reflect upon is that going into it, 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.079 I described my strengths and weaknesses. 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.080 As going in, I had a kind of a liability. 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:33.760 List where I can't ride a bike, not super fit, 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:39.240 not great with heights, overheat, overheat, definitely not great with heights. 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:44.840 I'm sure about physical capabilities, so and wasn't sure how 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:48.560 i'd go under extreme pressure, whereas Robert I was like, oh, 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:50.760 you're hell for this shit. He'll be fine, Yeah, he'll 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:52.760 be fine, He'll be fine. And look, it's a bit 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:56.320 of a spoiler. But I think now what I've actually 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.240 learned from my x amount of time away is that 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:03.400 I think Robert is a spy and in his spare 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.600 time he's pulling off all of these things, and I'm like. 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:08.720 Sorry, how did you? 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.760 Where did you learn how to do that? I've missed 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.560 that book Where is the Dummy? Like Spy for Dummies. 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.720 He's read it and he's just completed all of these 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:17.719 things and he's. 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:21.160 Not actually in musicals. I don't think of spy camp. 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.280 Yes, as far as I know, like you know Tom 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.080 Cruise with the Mission Impossible. 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:26.719 Masks, you've met him, so sure I know, but I 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:31.479 think actually behind his face is just rob it it is. 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.520 I I do my own stunts. 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.560 That's exactly how he would unveil himself as well. They're 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:39.120 be theatrics. I'm sure I cannot wait to fill in 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:40.880 all the gaps. There will be viewing parties and of 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:42.520 course as it goes to air, we will have week 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:44.960 by week little check ins. Okay, so what happened there? 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:48.159 And LADDI, yeah, but you did mention you missed a 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:49.440 lot of sport, my friends. 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:51.640 Oh, I miss so much sport. I missed so much sport. 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:53.640 I was able to catch up with a couple of 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:57.279 Broncos games while we were over there, so whenever we 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.280 had access to Wi Fi, who kind of check in 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:03.159 on the results and look mixed is my review? So 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.880 we need to improve, need to improve, don't worry about 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:06.640 my own skills. 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:08.280 The Broncos. What you doing? 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:11.320 Babes are also in penrith Oh yeah, back to back 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:12.400 to back to pardon. 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:13.480 Yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.080 I mean, I'm just hoping that it's real, do you 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.120 know what I mean? Maybe they're the mirage, Maybe their 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:19.839 poor former is a mirage, and then they'll trick me 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:20.680 at the end of the season. 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.280 Before we skip into our main chat, which is basically 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:24.760 going to be Georgie and I are catching up on 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:27.360 everything that we would have liked to have discussed in 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.680 the past. Give a real headlines of major topics that 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:32.800 have been discussed and debated in sports and where we 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.000 stand on it, because basically this is our coffee catch 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.400 up after Seriously, this is the first time that we've 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:41.200 had a problem catch up for back, I've got a 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.760 good sport, yes, and by that, by that I mean 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:49.599 I'm just scrolling the gram as you do, followed by 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.760 Elbow PM and I've gone. 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:54.280 Oh, sorry, just to pick up that name. 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.599 No, but all that I've gone, well, that's clearly your 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:59.320 parody account.

But first iight have a bad sport. Oh yeah, yep, yep. 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:35.560 So I've been, you know, back on deck trying to 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:37.720 get my head around what's going on in sport for 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.880 all of three seconds and what's at the top of 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.000 my feet Mary Fowler? 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.760 Oh no, no, no, this was part of the catch. 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:47.679 Up my girl. I know, my girl. 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.360 We can't I know, yeah, my. 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:56.360 Girl out with an ACL. Of all the injuries, cruel 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:57.520 world and. 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.480 The eld Evans, we can't come an a cl for 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:05.040 whatever reason. Mathilda's acls seem to go for four and 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:05.880 a half years. 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:10.240 We haven't even recovered from samkerz ACL. 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.200 From the World Cup. Well we haven't seen her in action. 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.200 Yeah, yeah, so you know what letters we never want 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:18.800 to see anywhere near the Matilda's and A and an L. 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.480 What the hell? So Mary Fowler has done her ACL. 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:26.160 It's confirmed in a clash over the weekend playing for 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:30.640 Manchester City against Manchester United, and I just what on 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.240 earth what have we done as a sports loving nation 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:34.080 in a past life. 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:36.560 We need to put out the ethos that this is 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.920 going to be an AFL a cl yes where for 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.440 some reason some players seem to be able to come 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.000 back within a season. Yes, I think Tom gold Scene 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:47.839 did once. Sam Dockerty also has Yes, so there can 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:51.079 be there can be like us els instead of as 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.960 it's like a lower case yes us all. So Let's 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:55.800 hope this isn't us all. 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.839 Let's hope it's in a saul and on assault on 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.440 our very soul, because I'm over it. 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.720 Well. Also, we've got the Asian Cup coming up which 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:06.920 we keep previewing as well, and we also have we 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:10.920 know that Sam Kerr is hoping to be back, hoping 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.200 and that she made a statement as well as Football 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:15.439 Australia saying look, I'm going to maintain the captaincy. I 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:17.240 did the wrong thing, YadA YadA, yadda. 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:19.360 We need stability, we needs to build. 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:22.720 We also would like a coach and we with like 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.600 one of our two major stars at the very least 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.319 world But it's sad, isn't it. 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.840 It's so unfortunate, And because the Asian Cup we are 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:33.319 so looking forward to it. We're hosting it like this 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:34.800 is the first time we're going to have a women's 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:37.640 football event on a scale of the World Cup since 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.240 the World Cup, and it's going to be sold out 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.560 stadiums back to back to back, like the Matildas are 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:44.440 going to be back on their pedestal. And just to 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:46.760 think that you're not going to see those gorgeous little 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.880 gloves at all, or that fantastic hair and the eyebrows, 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.240 Mary Fowler and the skill of course, but as an 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:56.640 aside aside, it's just is really heartbreaking, and so we 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.480 wish her well. We wish Mary well again. Here's another 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.240 pledge on the pod. Come on the pod, Mary, let's 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:02.800 talk about it. 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:04.360 Yep. We'll try and get Mary on the pod so 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:05.720 we can see exactly what's going on. 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:10.679 Maybe she can explain if you choose between Mary and Albow. Oh, 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:12.280 it's not even a question. Let's be honest. 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:17.040 Yeah, call us Mary, call us Mary, call us Mary. Okay, 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.600 good sport, bassport done, let's catch up. 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:33.120 Yes, so Joe, we'll probably not miss much. Yeah, no, 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:33.959 I haven't. 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:38.560 Missed her, you haven't. Uh. Okay, So what was the 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:41.320 date that you left just for listeners for context. 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:45.120 Yeah, it was around early March ish pre pre round one, 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:46.320 pre round one. 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.959 I was off strap yourselves in Hi. So you know 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.080 how we did our ins and outslist. Yes, and one 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:55.120 of my fantastic episode, one of my inns that I 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.600 saved for a fun fact that turned out to be 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:01.280 false was gout Gout. I said it was Gladquat. Yes, 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:04.880 I was wrong. Don't listen to his dad Goutcout gaus Scout. 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:08.880 Now we had a meet called the Murray Plant Meat 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:13.400 Ever heard of it? No, it stopped the nation Georgie 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:15.960 as in everyone was so excited to see this seventeen 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:17.520 year old kid have a crack at what he was 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:19.440 going to do over the two hundred meters. We know 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.440 that he's broken Peter Norman's record, which stood for fifty 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.480 six years, and he was up against this guy that 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.360 no one and I repeat no one had ever heard about, 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.920 in Lachlan Kennedy, who'd won a silver at the World 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:33.840 Indoors over sixty meters. Yes, so did we watch Bambi 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:35.720 get shot a little bit in the fact that he 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:38.640 didn't win win, No, he didn't win. But what it 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:42.559 has meant is a golden era of Australian athletics is 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.439 upon us because Lockie Kennedy's only in his early twenties 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:46.600 and managed. 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:46.920 To kip him. 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:51.640 So it's just this amazing, amazing time in Australian sprinting. 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:56.000 Goutcout has run a wind assisted sub twenty yes for 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:58.040 the two hundred for the two hundred, and also a 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:01.000 sub ten window sister. So let's say they both don't count, 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:04.720 but I'm telling you there's a chance. And Lucky Kennedy 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.280 also ran a flat ten. So like, here's the. 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.600 Thing in my mind right because you see gout Gout 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.200 run and it is something to behold. Like it's like 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:15.560 you're watching Usain Bowl. It's a watching magic. You're watching 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.760 just someone glide and you think, how on earth can 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:20.400 anyone move that quickly? 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:22.920 You're telling me we've got two of them, got to 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:28.400 sock styles, very different styles. And to be fair, Lockie 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:31.040 Kennedy's probably like cheers gout because otherwise he's running this 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:34.160 and still no one would know. Yes, And bizarrely he 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:37.800 was also beaten by Rowan Browning the national champ. So 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:41.800 there is this again golden era of sprinting that dare 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.360 I say it glistening on the horizon his Brisbane who 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.079 By the way, they are going to build a stadium. 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:47.320 I don't know if you miss Oh. 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:49.439 I did miss that as well. So the gun's happening. 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:51.160 Yeah no, the Brisbane government they were like, no, no, no, 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:53.240 we're not spending money on a stadium. Get elected. Oh 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:57.040 yeah no, we definitely need a stadium. That's what you missed. Okay, essentially, okay, 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:59.600 billion's going to be poured into that. Whatever they've said 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:00.520 it is adab. 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:04.040 What about the gabba no gabba? 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.920 But there is a bit of conflict around the fact 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:09.200 that there isn't going to be a legacy piece for 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:13.400 athletics in Brisbane. Okay, so both Lockie Kennedy and Gout 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:18.000 Gout are Brisbane based, as is Matthew Denny. Denny of 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:21.760 course everyone's favorite discus thrower, the lovable lark, and well 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:26.080 we love him. He is eleven centimeters off the world record, 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:30.600 so he has thrown the second furthest discus in history. 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:33.640 My god, so he's got the Australian record. 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.920 He's flying so Brisbane. That's my athletics, catch up, We're 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.320 killing it. Tory Lewis also won the one hundred in Perths, 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:40.000 so she's back. 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:43.560 Can I have a little interjection here, just to gauge, 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:47.559 just e gauge, just to gauge your excitement level as 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:52.440 our athletics goal athletics goowl on the pod from one 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:53.280 to fifteen? 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:54.920 Where are we at? 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.360 It sounds like I just killed the small animal in studio. 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:00.960 That's that's how I pitched that is I'm incapable of 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.480 getting that high pitch. I am beyond excited. We have 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.440 glass go to look forward to as well. You know 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.360 the COMM games that aren't the COMM Games. We don't 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.600 agree with the commwealth, but we do love winning gold, 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:10.360 so we'll take that. 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:10.760 That's right. 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:14.760 I am beyond excited. I'm beyond excited. And you know 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.520 how I feel about track and fields. This is what 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:19.640 I'm saying, wonderful, wonderful time. 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:21.400 And I think for the first time in. 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:26.440 I'm going to say, you know, literally probably decades, probably decades, 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.440 this is the most that we've ever talked about track 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:32.560 and field. I know that the swimmers aren't really in 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:36.080 competition right now or anything, but right now it's track 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:38.680 and field that's leading the way, which is really exciting. 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:42.400 It just doesn't happen. It doesn't does it doesn't happen. 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:45.640 It doesn't, don't don't make. 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:49.520 Just okay, okay, okay, So gout gout still doing gug 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:49.920 out things. 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.000 You and I debate about the credentials of AFL and 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:52.840 NRL all the time. 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:53.320 That's right. 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:58.960 What your code does infinitely better than mine, yes, is drama. Yes, 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:01.560 because you don't have a train period, so you decide 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:03.960 to do it all year right, And it's one of 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:06.360 the more bizarre things when you're not used to NRL 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.360 that like mid year a player can be like, Sup, 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.000 I'm actually leaving. I'm going to play for you all year, 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:13.760 but I'm actually going yes. 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:14.400 So yes. 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:18.720 For context around this, Oscar Allen, who is the captain 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:22.360 of West Coast equals yes, had a conversation with Sam Mitchell, 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:25.080 who flew to Western Australia, the coach of Hawthorne in 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:26.160 order to have coffee with him. 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.480 He used to coach Western West Coast as well, didn't 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:29.840 he He was like one of the coaches. 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:31.920 And he went over there and played there, played there 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:34.800 in like a coach a player round towards the end 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.720 of his career. So when over they had a coffee 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.560 outreach because captains of football teams aren't allowed to be 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:46.160 thinking about going elsewhere. Absolutely, and he had the most 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:49.200 contrite press conference. Been like had a press conference. I 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:51.160 had to have a press conference. I had to face 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:53.600 my teammates. I'm so sorry. This is someone who's coming 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:55.480 out of contract at the end of the year. West 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.320 Coast in a rebuild phase. So he basically just said, look, 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.800 I'm this is humiliating. I'm so embarrassed. Sorry, sorry, sorry, 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:02.480 shouldn't be doing it. 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:04.600 Sorry, you know what I'm embarrassed about that he had 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:04.960 to do that? 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:07.520 What do you mean that's normal? And also you've got 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:10.080 such a short period of time to earn what you 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:13.320 can earn as a professional athlete. Yeah, shop your options exactly? 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:14.200 What do you mean? 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:16.160 I'm so embarrassed with my teammates or this dada da 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:17.480 get a grit. 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:18.920 Well. I also get why he would have done it 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:20.720 because in Perth he would have been wanted number one. 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:23.840 Like it's a different bubble over there. But that's how 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:27.760 the AFL reacts to captains potentially shopping around the skill 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:33.760 set the NRL and to your mate daily Cherry Evans 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:37.560 the captain of the Manly Seagulls, but also like an 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:40.240 absolute star. He's a morone star. He's one of the 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:41.080 icons of the game. 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:43.520 He really is, and he's someone who has been in 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:48.000 this game for years, so more than a decade. He 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:51.320 has led the Sea Eagles to any kind of success 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:53.680 that they have had in most recent history. He has 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.200 been front and center of that, and the same with 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:57.840 the Queensland Maroons. He's the captain at the. 0:16:57.880 --> 0:16:59.040 Did you see what happened? 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:01.920 No, I've missed it all. I've been in a bubble. 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:02.280 I don't know. 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:02.760 I don't know. 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:04.679 This is like the Big Brother House. They come out 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:06.720 and it's like, what's been going on? And they're like, 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:07.480 all the world's ended. 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:11.320 Oh cool, the world ended for Manly fans like I 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.480 cannot stress you. So Channel nine in their news have 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:16.600 a preview of their show that's later in the evening 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:18.600 where they say, daily Cherry Evans is going to announce 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:20.320 that he's leaving the Sea Eagles at the end of 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:24.159 the year. Oh, shock, horror. Yeah. Then it goes to 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.480 NRL three CC where apparently Braith and Asta literally mid 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:29.600 broadcast goes, oh, we've got a call coming in. 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:30.680 Who is this? 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:34.679 Hello? Call it Manly have offered DC two more years. 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:36.880 And then you cut back to Channel nine like an 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:40.320 hour later, where DCE is essentially going, well, that's news 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:43.960 to me. I'm leaving. So it was like a reality 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:48.520 TV program happening across two channels where how deep can 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:52.440 the disconnect be between a captain and a club that 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:55.880 this all happens in a non press conference scenario, that's right, 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:57.680 but on national television. 0:17:57.320 --> 0:17:59.680 Oh is this and here we just write Jomy, you 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:03.240 called it from the start. The NRL does drama and 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:06.359 chaos better than any code on Earth, so this to 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.679 be I'm like, oh, what a welcome home present. 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:11.600 Let's just sort through all this. Let's sort through all this. 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.000 What happened there? Craziness? Drop the ball over there? 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:18.000 Fantastic, anyone pick it up now they've kicked it over there, beautiful. 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:20.280 Like it's a wonderful, wonderful world. 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.760
