35
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,560

Speaker 2: Bears great chat with macedew She was her normal, fun,

46
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: honest and transparent self. I mean, yeah, she's an elite athlete,

47
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: mate Stewart, and she's definitely one of those athletes who

48
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: is conscious of where she is in her sport and

49
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: how she can make it better.

50
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 4: And I think that really came through.

51
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: She's fighting the good fight and wants women's rugby to

52
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: be as great as it can be.

53
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that. Let's take a look around the grounds.

54
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 4: In the Women's A League.

55
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: Absolute scenes, Oh my goodness scenes.

56
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 3: I just some heartbroken for them.

57
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: Okay, So just to give everyone some background. May not

58
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: have caught up on the news yet, the Central Grost

59
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: Mariner has produced a major upset in the second leg

60
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: of the Women's A League semifinals, beating the undefeated Minor

61
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: Premier Is Melbourne City one nil with a goal in

62
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 2: the dying moments of extra time.

63
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: It was a great goal. It went from one end

64
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: of the field to the other. It was stressful.

65
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 4: I'll let you no, I like that good flavor.

66
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 2: So for context, these two sides drew to all last

67
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: week in the first leg of their semi but City

68
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: were dealt a huge early blow in the game when

69
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 2: Sta forward Holly mcman macnamara, you know me, when m's

70
00:02:59,520 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 2: and ends a.

71
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 3: Close it's not your strong point.

72
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 2: Stuck in my mouth. Ollie McNamara like, no, thanks.

73
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: I like that. You try to get it was forced

74
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 3: from the.

75
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: Field due to injury after just eighteen minutes, making matters

76
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: worse for the Victorian side. Winger Lord s Bosh was

77
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 2: then given a straight red card after striking the face

78
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 2: of Central Coast attack of brook Nunn during a heated confrontation. Well,

79
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: there was a bit of feeling out there, made a

80
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: heat in that little bit of feeling.

81
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 4: In a game that had very.

82
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: Few clear cut chances, the away side snatched the victory

83
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: in the final seconds of stop each time at the

84
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 2: end of the one hundred and twenty minutes.

85
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: I actually can't believe when that that's hours. You can

86
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: math that is two hours of running. Can't eminem together,

87
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: but can math lose yourself.

88
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: Isabelle Gomez loved the City goalkeeper with a somewhat controversial

89
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: goal that was allowed by the referees despite some suggestions

90
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: that Gomez was actually offside.

91
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: So they don't actually have var in a leak women's

92
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: let alone finals time.

93
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: This topic is very close to my heart. Okay, same

94
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: thing happened in the women's Super Rugby this year. We

95
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: had no TMO as we call it in our game,

96
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: which is third match official stands for video assistant referee,

97
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 2: interesting to LA's for everyone AnyWho. It just doesn't make

98
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 2: any sense to me, Like we have the technology, you know,

99
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: we have that these girls are playing in stadiums that

100
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: it's there, it's ready to go, and you know when

101
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 2: it's moments like this where it really matters, and they

102
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 2: didn't have that available to them.

103
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 4: I just think it's it's wrong now wrong.

104
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: So we obviously must acknowledge the incredible feet from Melbourne City,

105
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 2: twenty four matches unbeaten, obliterating the previous competition record, fifty

106
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: eight goals scored, the most ever in a Ninja A

107
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,799
Speaker 2: League season, and they've still got an AFC Women's Champions

108
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: League semi final to come. Interesting conversation, and we talked

109
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 2: a little bit about this in regards to the WSL,

110
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 2: you know, changing back to a final point score winner

111
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: for twenty twenty six.

112
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 4: This is similar kind of thing. And I think.

113
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: Football has always in Europe awarded the Premier's plate or

114
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 2: the Premier tag, the Champions tag to the person that's

115
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 2: first past the post. Obviously Melbourne City dominated first past

116
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: the post by a long way. But it's interesting, isn't

117
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 2: He's a grand and then we've put in this grand

118
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: final series because that's how Australians kind of do sport.

119
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 3: Australians need a grand final.

120
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 4: We need that moment. And yeah, but it it does

121
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 4: throw this up. It throws up these you know.

122
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 2: I'm sure Melbourne City were very short priced favorites to

123
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: be playing in that Grand Final and they're not. Oh

124
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,119
Speaker 2: it's a drama. Adds the drama, doesn't it.

125
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: It does absolutely add the drama.

126
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 2: So in the other semi final, though Melbourne victory sealed

127
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 2: a six too aggregate winner of a LA United to

128
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 2: also protess the Grand Final. And I must admit I

129
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: didn't watch that game on Saturday, but I read about

130
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: it on Saturday night and I thought, oh, wow, it's

131
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 2: going to be Melbourne Darby for the final, like that

132
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: was just my go to yes, and I was like,

133
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: that's going to be epic, It's going to be so good.

134
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: And obviously I'm stoke for Central Coast, but well done.

135
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: First final for them, first round final for them in

136
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: their league history, in the club history. Even in surfing,

137
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: Ozzie Sally Fitzgibbons has fallen short in the final of

138
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: the Gold Coast Pro with Hawaiian Betty Lou Secura Johnson

139
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: claiming victory. Fitzgibbons through everything at Sakura, Johnson surfing a

140
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: mammoth thirteen waves but fell short with a two wave

141
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: score seven point eighty three compared to her opponent's impressive

142
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: tally of fifteen point three to three.

143
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 4: Betty Lou was on fire.

144
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: Interesting, that's like. That was obviously Sally's tactic, just go

145
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: for volume.

146
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent, and she'd seen how well Betteloo

147
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 2: been surfing. Bettloo knocked Molly out in the quarters.

148
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

149
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: Sally was on the back foot from the start of

150
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: the final, with twenty year old Securre Johnson posting a

151
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: score of eight point five on her first wave in

152
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: front of a huge crowd at Burly Heads. The Australian

153
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: went to the air four times trying to stick a

154
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: landing that would give her a score to put her

155
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: back in contention, but she was unable to seal the deal.

156
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: It was Betty Lou's second win of the day over

157
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: in Australian. As you said, Bez having earlier eliminated Molly.

158
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: Pick them Oh devastating.

159
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 4: I watched that.

160
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,520

220
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 2: was a major one. And look there's definitely some money

221
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 2: spent by that club, which is great. They tracked the

222
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,280

223
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,680

00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: She celebrated her debut with a try to help her

238
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: side lead nineteen nil at halftime, but the Walleroos rallied

239
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: after the break with back to back tries to Eva

240
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: Krphani and Ash Masters, showing the team's exponential growth since

Speaker 1: their sixty two nil defeat to the defending World champs

242
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: twelve months ago. I had forgotten how big the margin

Speaker 1: was last time they played each other.

244
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was quite large, right.

245
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 3: Okay, that is some improvement.

246
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: However, the Kiwis class was too much as they closed

247
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: out the victory with a try to Sylvia Brunn before

248
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,520

00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,720

00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: In some basketball news, the Opals have outgunned the Tall

Speaker 2: Courtney Woods sixteen points and three rebounds and Stephanie Reads

258
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,599

00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: of women skip sport because of their period. That's a

278
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: huge amount of women.

279
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm not surprised.

280
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 3: Not at all.

281
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 1: The study survey three hundred and thirty people across the

282
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,200

Speaker 4: Can I just get on board with the use of

288
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 4: the word bloody in here?

289
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 3: Yeah?

290
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 4: I love it.

291
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: It's such an Australian colloquialism. Yes that we used to

292
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 2: explain things that are good and bad, but also here

293
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 2: it's factual as well.

294
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,920

00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: at policymakers and community clubs to improve their support for

298
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: members who have their period when playing sport. Project lead

299
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 2: professor Claire Handlon said providing free period products at sports

300
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 2: facilities could remove a barrier to play sport and help

301
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: drive membership. This is not a big ass, but the

302
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 2: impact is huge.

303
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 3: She's awesome, Claire. We love her.

304
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: We know the amazing work she does in the research

305
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: space around uniforms. Just under ninety percent of respondents agreed

306
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: that facility policies need to recognize menstrual health as a

307
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: fundamental right where free period products are provided. Of those

308
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: who had access to products, fifty percent had used free

309
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,959

Speaker 1: one took products to stock up on personal supplies.

311
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: Speaking from experience, we obviously provide period products in our

312
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: wartars change room for the girls.

313
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 3: That well, I don't think that's an obvious thing.

314
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, so the warta is part of my budget.

315
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 2: I provide those for the girls. And yeah, it's not

316
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 2: as if people are pocketing them.

317
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: Because you know, like you know as a woman that

318
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: when you get your period, if you desperately need something,

319
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: you would hate to be the person that's stocked up

320
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: to take it for home and someone else is then

321
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: leaving and can't train or play sport.

322
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 2: Right likely, It's just it's a no brainer, so Share

323
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 2: the Dignity founder Rachelle Courtney says it's a small cost

324
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: with a big return, not only keeping girls in sport,

325
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 2: but reducing the need to replace those who drop out.

326
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 2: Sport is about more than just physical health. It builds confidence,

327
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 2: community and lifelong opportunities. No one should mouse miss out

328
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 2: because of their period. And it's interesting, like we kind

329
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: of speak about period poverty a bit too, and there's

330
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: a real you know, making sport available to everyone all

331
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 2: economic backgrounds is so important and this is a barrier

332
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 2: that we can eradicate.

333
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

334
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: So some of the recommendations include mandating period product packs

335
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: in first aid kits at sport facility. Is great, so practical,

336
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: it's so simple. Provide period product packs to coaches for

337
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: their kit bags. Oh my gosh, again, like it's actually

338
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: quite wow. Collaborate with local government, a dispenser supplier and

339
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: clubs to provide free period products in sport facility bathrooms,

340
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: including unisex bathrooms, open discussion between players, clubs, and coaches

341
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: about playing with your period to provide support and normalize

342
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: the situation.

343
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 3: I love this.

344
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look this kind of this speaks to sport

345
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 2: obviously in many ways, but also speaks to just a

346
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 2: broader argument around period products being free. I mean, the

347
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 2: fact that we pay for them is quite ridiculous. I

348
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 2: think up until recently they had some kind of beauty

349
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: tax on them.

350
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 3: So yeah, so has that tax.

351
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: Been taken onbelieve so, surely, surely it is not a

352
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 2: selective It's not a beauty product.

353
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 4: If we are not choosing, it is.

354
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: Not a beauty product. That is actually absurd to even

355
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: think it would ever be classed as that.

356
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: So when we talk about the broader conversation around providing

357
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: period products for women for free, which they do in

358
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 2: a number of countries now, at schools, at work, places

359
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 2: of work, just in general, it's time.

360
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 4: Let's go.

361
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,560
