1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: Two Good Sports would like to acknowledge the traditional owners 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: of the land on which we record this podcast. That 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: will rundery people. This land was never seated, always was, 4 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 1: always will be. Okay, let's do it. Hello and welcome 5 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 1: to two good sports sports news told differently. 6 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 2: I'm Georgia Tunny and I maybe Jemian. This is pretty 7 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 2: much a vigil for Georgia time of death. 8 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: Last night, we're a bit flat. 9 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 2: Today I'm not flat. We need to be up and about. 10 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 2: We did just see two of the greatest grand finals 11 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 2: across two codes. I'm a bit nasal, I'm not flat. 12 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 2: I'm a bit natal. But the AFL and NRL Grand 13 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 2: Finals incredible results. Four points and two points. 14 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,840 Speaker 1: They really couldn't be closer. If I consult my notes, 15 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: dear listener, I have a note here that says Panther's 16 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: three peet and then in brackets I've put yuck. But 17 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: but I will take my Broncos beanie off for a 18 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: second and congratulate and Cleary, who really just went to 19 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: another stratosphere in terms of performance, leading the Penrith Panthers 20 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,839 Speaker 1: to their third straight Grand Final victory in their fourth 21 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: straight Grand final. He won his second Clive Churchill medal 22 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: as Player of the Match. It was softened by the 23 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: fact that I never thought that we were going to win. 24 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 1: Even with that lead. I thought they could come back. 25 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: We've lost from here before. 26 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: The direct quote from George was we've lost from here before. 27 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 2: And meanwhile I'm like, shut the gate. This is over. 28 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 2: Like this is over. You won it. You won it. 29 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: And in my head, I'm going, God, tomorrow is going 30 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 2: to be fun. Yeah, she's gonna be up and about. 31 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 2: And instead I'm like, oh no, Instead, I'm in black 32 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:41,919 Speaker 2: because we're in morning, We're in mourning. 33 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: We're in mourning today. Look, we're going to get into 34 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: some of the human stories of that particular Grand Final. 35 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: It did have the pace of an Origin game. It 36 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: had a million and one line breaks that you've seen 37 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: in junior footy. It was one of the best games 38 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: that I have ever seen. It's just sad for me 39 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: that it was not Brisbane who One. And it was 40 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: also just in general, a really terrible. 41 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 2: Weekend to be a Queenslander because the Lions they lost 42 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 2: their grandfather by four points. It was one of the greats. 43 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 2: It was an epic in front of more than a 44 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 2: hundred thousand at the MCG. I happened to be sitting 45 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 2: basically behind the Brisbane Chear squad. Lord knows how my 46 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 2: tickets ended up there. 47 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: Oh, that would have been such a sad place. 48 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: It was a sad place, but it was also just 49 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 2: it was a spectacle of football. 50 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: Which is what you want in a Grand Final, like 51 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: you want that tension, you want that excitement, and both 52 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: games delivered in spades. 53 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 2: I'm really proud of you. 54 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. My heart is broken. 55 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 2: Let's get to headlines, but we are going to again 56 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 2: too good sports in Sports News told differently. We are 57 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 2: going to get to the human stories that we loved 58 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 2: about the Grand Finals. Instagram for that, but for now headlines. 59 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 2: It's been a busy week. Headline one. 60 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 3: I wasn't going to go yesterday, to be honest, when 61 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 3: I woke up in the morning, I actually sent an 62 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 3: email and to say I don't want to go. I 63 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 3: just try to sit at home And yeah, I'm just 64 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 3: trying to sit at home and watch it on the couch. 65 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: The words of Kaylen Ponger, the Newcastle Knights fullback and 66 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: superstar who won the Dally Am Medal for Player of 67 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: the Year last week wasn't even going to rock up 68 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: to the ceremony because he thought he had no chance. 69 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 2: And also because the event's quite boring. 70 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: I mean it is. It goes for nine hundred. 71 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 2: I mean, you and I went to a brown loaw 72 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 2: together and I'm probably gonna get in trouble for saying this, 73 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 2: but they tried to take my meal before I could 74 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 2: get up there. The night feels like it goes forever 75 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 2: unless you're on a table where people are up and about. 76 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 2: I'd probably want to watch on the couch as well, 77 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 2: because Seven's coverage is elite. 78 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: Imagine that. Imagine that. Though they're like and the winner 79 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: is kaylen Ponger. We crossed to him now from. 80 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 2: The couch and he's in his track. He's been like, Babe, 81 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: should have gone, should have gone. 82 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: But they've got a different scoring system of polling system 83 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: this season for the couple of last couple of year 84 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: when it comes to the dally M, so they have 85 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: two independent judges. They have three points each that they 86 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: can award for the best player of the match throughout 87 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: the season. The final round, kaylen Ponger polled three points 88 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: for both of those judges, so got six points in 89 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: that last round, Sean Johnson didn't poll so he lost 90 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 1: by one vote. 91 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: But I think in any best and fairest there's always 92 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 2: going to be contention about the voting system and if 93 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 2: someone was more deserving, which probably brings us to headline 94 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 2: two and I declare the winner of the twenty twenty 95 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,239 Speaker 2: three Brownlow Medal, Lucky Neil at the Brisbane Lines Football Club. 96 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 2: To be amongst some of those names that have won 97 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 2: two is unbelievable. Those names are the likes of Gary Ablutt, Junior, 98 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 2: Chris Judd, Adam Goods. To win two Brownlows is incredible. 99 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 2: He also didn't go. He didn't go because he had 100 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 2: to stay in Brisbane and prepare for the Grand Final. 101 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 2: And he just clearly was in shock, yes, like very genuinely. 102 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 2: And they interview him before the count started, and you 103 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 2: know how sometimes you can tell that people like, no, 104 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 2: not me, not this year, but they've prepared a speech. 105 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 2: You could tell that Locky Neil genuinely believed that he 106 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 2: was not a snowflake's chance in hell, and yet he 107 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 2: is a two time Brownlow winner. 108 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: I think he was still struggling to come to terms 109 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: with it. The day after I was up in Brisbane 110 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: covering the Broncos and the Lions, rop me heading into 111 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: their Grand Finals at that time, though full of confidence, 112 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: full of optimism. So I was actually at their fan day, 113 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: their train open training session, perfectly time to be the 114 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: day after the Brownlow. So I was there with all 115 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: of the fans when he hit the field and everyone 116 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: was going locky, locky, locky. And to say that Locky 117 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: Neil is reserved, Yes, I think would be one of 118 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: the understatements of the century. If I had one two Brownlows, God, 119 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: I'd be bloody both arms. I'd be holding them out, 120 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: I'd be running along the crowd and all of this. 121 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: But even this, though you did mention, it had some controversy. 122 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 2: Why there's so much contention around how umpires decide the 123 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 2: Brownlow medal. Umpires vote on So umpires vote on this, 124 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 2: and firstly, they're doing a job. It's very difficult to 125 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 2: be across everything. But they're also not provided the stats 126 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 2: before they vote. And I'm in the camp of let 127 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 2: it be how it is, this is how the Brownlow's decided. 128 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 2: Just let it be, because if you give people stats, 129 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 2: they can be skewed by numbers, and there are in 130 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 2: over history. There are players that just accumulate a lot 131 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 2: of stats. And I've heard Nathan Buckley say before disposals 132 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 2: have never meant less in the game. By the way 133 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 2: that it's played. You can get over thirty touches but 134 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 2: not impact the game. Anyone who's won a Brownlow but 135 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 2: hasn't won a flag is the first to say it's 136 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 2: not about individual honors. 137 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: Yes, but I feel like, as history would now tell us, 138 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: lucky Neil didn't win the flag. So maybe celebrate when 139 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: you can. 140 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 2: Oh, it's a rough work for Brisbane. Will you win 141 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 2: your second Brown Loan? It's one of the more topper 142 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 2: weeks in job. 143 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: I know it's crazy, it's crazy, but here we are. 144 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: Three finals happened this weekend. Three Queensland teams were in them. 145 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: Headline three talks about the last one. 146 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 2: It's back to back premierships for the Newcastle Knights. It's 147 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 2: as a macut master class on Grand Final day again 148 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 2: they are the undisputed queens of the NLSW. 149 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: Oh from three the Gold Coast Titans pipped at the 150 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: post by the Newcastle Knights, going down the NRLW Final 151 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: twenty four points to eighteen. In all seriousness. It was 152 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,559 Speaker 1: an incredible game and if no one had ever tuned 153 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: into the NRLW, I am so happy that they got 154 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: to see that. And I have to just take a 155 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: moment to pay tribute to Karen Murphy, who's the coach 156 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: of the Gold Coast Titans, who maybe the first female 157 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: immortal inducted into the Rugby League Hall of Fame. She's 158 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: that instrumental in just the success of this competition. But 159 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: she's so integral that the Player of the Match award 160 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: for the Grand Finals, so like a Norm Smith or 161 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: a Clive Churchill medal, is called the Karen Murphy Medal. 162 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: So there was a chance that if the Titans had 163 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: won and their player was the best player on the ground, 164 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: she would have presented her own medal to them, which 165 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: is just such a lovely story. That didn't happen. Hopefully 166 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: it happens next year. 167 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 2: In the meantime, headline four, I. 168 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 3: Was alive mate, Yeah, that was the aim of today, 169 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 3: the still be alive. 170 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, the smallest of heartbeats, the faintest sound, the Wallabies. 171 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 2: Not done yet. I'm sorry. We went to the funeral. 172 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 2: You and I held a funeral. 173 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 1: We're at the wake right now. 174 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 2: They played the last post. Yep, they were dead and buried. 175 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, we mourned, We mourned, We mourned. 176 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 2: You telling me Allah bold and the beautiful passions, if 177 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 2: you will. We have buried the body and there is 178 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 2: still a heartbeat. 179 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: The zombies, the zombies, the zombie bees. I'm trying to 180 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: make zombies and walla bees. 181 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 2: Genuinely, I have questions. Are they not done? Are they're 182 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 2: not dead? 183 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 1: They're actually not So they defeated Portugal this morning thirty 184 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: four points to fourteen. Now when I say they're not dead, 185 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: they're half dead. They have one of those like shocking, 186 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: what are they called a defibrillator. They have one on them, 187 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: but it's probably we've lost the other paddle. It's gone. Ah. 188 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 1: And also now they just have a week a week 189 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: in France. God so hard to be them. 190 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 2: Paddles that they can't rub the paddles together to share them. 191 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 2: Only got one. 192 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: This is what they're up against. This is what they're 193 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: up against. It would be a medical miracle if they 194 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: did actually make it out of the group stages. It's 195 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: still not looking likely because the next game, which is 196 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: of the utmost importance, is Fiji up against Portugal, which 197 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: happens next week, and just a reminder that Fiji smashed us. 198 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: We were able to beat Portugal, but but we did 199 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: have only thirteen men on the field at one point, 200 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: so that means we had two less players than Portugal 201 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,599 Speaker 1: and Portugal's attack no offense wasn't able to take advantage 202 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: of that. So that's just a I think Fiji's going 203 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: to win. There's a pulse A pulse ish yeah, pulse 204 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: ishu is the technical term. Can they find the other paddle? 205 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 3: I doubt it. 206 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 2: I think it's a nice place to leave our headline, 207 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 2: shall we. 208 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: Yes, because we have so much unfortunately to get into 209 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: an ABS There was so much heartache last night for 210 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: Queensland for me as the prison Broncos went down to 211 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: the Penrith Panthers. So I need to selve. I need 212 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: some human stories to make me feel a little bit 213 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: better and get on with my life. 214 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 2: How about a player that turns around from having testicular 215 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 2: cancer to being one of the most celebrated players in 216 00:10:59,080 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 2: the AFL. 217 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: Let's do it, Okay, that's coming up. 218 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 2: Sweet sixteen for the Pies, Collingwood claimed a record equaling 219 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 2: sixteenth VFLAFL Premiership with a four point victory over the lines. 220 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,839 Speaker 2: It came down to last minute. There was just a 221 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 2: kick in it. It was literally the hothest final we've 222 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,719 Speaker 2: ever seen. It was boiling. It was very warm in 223 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 2: the sun. 224 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: Yet were you melting? 225 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 2: It was melting. It was an electric Grand Final. Collingwood 226 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 2: led at every break. Now, but the fact that it 227 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 2: never got out to beyond thirteen points was remarkable. But 228 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 2: someone in particular stole the show. Bobby Hill. Bobby Hill 229 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 2: and not someone who was largely celebrated before this. 230 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: Yes, I have to admit full transparency here. I had 231 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: never heard of Bobby Hill before this game. 232 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 2: Won the Norm Smith in a clean sweep. Yeah, fifteen votes. 233 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 2: It's remarkable. So what do we know about him? Used 234 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 2: to play for the Giants and in twenty twenty two. 235 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 2: So last year May round eleven was diagnosed with testicular cancer. 236 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: That's so not long ago, it's only a year ago. 237 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 2: So he spoke to his teammates and he found out 238 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,719 Speaker 2: the club doctor helped him. So essentially he found a 239 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 2: lump and he was in pain during training. And he's 240 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 2: spoken candidly about this because he wants to help other 241 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 2: blokes that wouldn't know either, found out that it was 242 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:35,319 Speaker 2: testicular cancer. Played that weekend against Brisbane, kicked the first 243 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 2: goal in the game no one knew at that point, 244 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 2: went in for surgery on the Wednesday, and then was 245 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 2: out for ten weeks of recovery, as you would be 246 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 2: because you've had surgery on cancer. Wonderfully, he's clear of cancer. 247 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 2: Twenty twenty one, he tried to get traded to Essendon, 248 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 2: so he wanted to leave the Giant, leave the Giants 249 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 2: to come back to Melbourne. Has a lot of family here, 250 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 2: Bradley Hill, most namely his cousin, who has a three 251 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 2: time premiership player. Yes, well done. Yes, I think he 252 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 2: had three flags by the time he was twenty two. 253 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. 254 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 2: One of those wanted to come back to Melbourne was 255 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 2: in a show called Show Me the Money, a three 256 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 2: part series on Stan where his management and Bobby Hill 257 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 2: very made a very strong play for wanting to get 258 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 2: traded to Esendon. Wow, never happened, so that I had 259 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,239 Speaker 2: to stay at the Giants very uncomfortable. 260 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: Oh God, imagine that being like, guys, I love you, 261 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: but unfortunately I have to go and then they're like, 262 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: what I'm not going to be okay. 263 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 2: It does happen for a lot of players. It's called 264 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 2: the go home pool essentially, where you want to go 265 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 2: back to your home state. And that's why it's difficult 266 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 2: for a lot of. 267 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: Well especially given all your health battles and stuff. 268 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to go back. He then gets traded 269 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,359 Speaker 2: to Collingwood, so this is his first year as a Magpie. 270 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 2: He says. The morning of the Grand Final, he was 271 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 2: watching siurially highlights and he played of the Norm Smith 272 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 2: in twenty fifteen. He played like Cyril, didn't he. 273 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: Just because he jumped higher than Mason Cox, who is 274 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: five meters tall, and he was able to just he 275 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: set the Grand Final a light. 276 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 2: Four goals in the first half could have been more. 277 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 1: And also, and we say goals like it's like, oh, yeah, 278 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: he kicked a goal. These goals were freakish. It wasn't 279 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: from a set market. It was incredible. It was just 280 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: him having a crack, just going off his intuition. And 281 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: it makes sense because I've heard his dad interviewed since 282 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: and he said that when he was young he was 283 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: just so obsessed with, you know, kicking the footy, playing 284 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: the footy that he would roll up socks at home 285 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: and just kick around the socks and the house. He 286 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: also fun fact, his real name is Ian I know 287 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: Ian Hill, but he's called Bobby Hill because he was 288 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: obsessed with Bob the Builder. 289 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 2: Shut up. This man is so beautiful. 290 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: Is like, that's a true story. 291 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 2: Now his son's called Bobby Junior. 292 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: No, it can't be so cute. 293 00:14:54,840 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 2: Speaking of children's names. I had I had to check 294 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 2: this so many times because we were reading the news 295 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 2: directly after the game and this was coming to like that. 296 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 2: Craig McCrae had the morning of a Grand final. This 297 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 2: is the Collingwood coach. His wife had given birth to 298 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 2: a daughter at seven forty five. Do you know what 299 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 2: her name is? Maggie? Maggie. I thought someone was having 300 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 2: me on because it was too poetic, slash punny. Today 301 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 2: was already the best day of my life because my 302 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 2: wife gave birth to a little girl this morning at 303 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 2: seven five. Son, I've covering over tonight with a carful 304 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 2: of you. I'm exhausted, exhausted thinking about his last forty 305 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 2: eight hours. 306 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: I mean, what a weekend. 307 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 2: So his wife went to the hospital with her sister 308 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 2: and called him and said, hey, you better come because 309 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 2: we're having a baby. 310 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: I'm in labor, has the baby, then goes back to 311 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: the g to get ready for got Grand Final. 312 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 2: And tells all the players imagine your pregame chat as 313 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 2: a coach and you would have a plan and then 314 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 2: you're like, I'm gonna one up this. You want to say, 315 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 2: we're a family club. My daughter is called Maggie. Do 316 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 2: not ruin this day? For me, It's unbelievable. 317 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. 318 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 2: The thing that we will say for Craig mccraye, I 319 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 2: love him. He has been lauded by his players for 320 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 2: turning around the culture of the club and Isaac couaynall 321 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 2: spoke about it yesterday. Again. The fact that any Magpie 322 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 2: was speaking yesterday stunning because I think they had quite 323 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 2: the night. But he created a culture that you could 324 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,239 Speaker 2: tell from the outside was like a warm hug. 325 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: And didn't they need a new culture? My biggest takeaway 326 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: was Scott Pendlebury, of course, the Pie's champion. I think 327 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: he won his second premiership thirteen years in between him 328 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: and steel Sidebottom. 329 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 2: I'm twenty ten wild. 330 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: But Pendlebury spoke after the game about how Craig McCrae 331 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: he came to them when he got the job and said, 332 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: I'm not being arrogant. I'm a winner. I win systems, 333 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: I win the day I win Habits. You were all 334 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: going to become winners as well, and now proof is 335 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 1: in the pudding. I also think that he reads James. 336 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 2: Clear Atomic Habits. What a book. I love the idea 337 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 2: of walking anywhere being like, I'm not arrogant, but this 338 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 2: is the face of a winner. I know. 339 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm gonna actually sorry, I'll just go to book 340 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: Topia and yeah, I'll just download and just get the 341 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: couple for bags. 342 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 2: And all season there's been something about the Pies, even 343 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 2: last year, the way they won it from No Man's Lands. 344 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 2: So many times they were down and out and they 345 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 2: would sneak home and win by a couple of points. 346 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 2: They just became so dynamic to watch. Yes, and that's 347 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 2: not to say I mean if not for one kick, 348 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 2: we're talking about Brisbane. If you look back through AFL history, 349 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 2: there is a lot of indication that if you lose one, 350 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 2: you win many. And you'd have to say that's what 351 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 2: you could expect of this Brisbane side. They are a 352 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 2: young side. 353 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: I really hope that that's true. 354 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 2: My highlight was Country Road, Take Me Home, John Denver. 355 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 2: It's stunning. Yeah, it's stunning, and it's one of those 356 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 2: great moments in AFL football that you can't manufacture. The 357 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 2: fans have to own it. But after every one of 358 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 2: Charlie Cameron's goal, just being around this chorus, it was 359 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 2: very epl like, says me, that it's never been to 360 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 2: a Premier League game, but let's just pretend it's the 361 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 2: closest thing that we've got. 362 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, very much so. And I found so that I 363 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: didn't realize that that doesn't happen with all teams, and 364 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: that the MCG doesn't play songs at the end. So 365 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: if you go to the Gabazine just get a raw 366 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: yeah right, you get a very loud rule. I'm in boring. 367 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: So if you go to the gabazinem and the Gabata, 368 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: when Charlie Cameron kicks a goal, they play take Me Home, Country. 369 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 2: Road, and then by the late great John Denver. 370 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: John Denver, and the crowd get around it. Like at 371 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: that same fan day that I went to, the crowd 372 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 1: just was singing it on loop again and again and again, 373 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: screaming Charlie, Charlie Charlie Charlie because they just adore him. 374 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: He is a superstar. Joe Danaher. He kicks a goal. 375 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: It's let it go from Frozen Macinnerney I'm not pretty enough, 376 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: which I just think is amazing. 377 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 2: I mean, it's a sledge. 378 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: It's a sledge, but he does it because I think 379 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: that they pick their own right Yep, so he's in 380 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: on the joke. 381 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 2: I think foot he needs more of it. I like it. 382 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: I think it's really good. I rate it. 383 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 2: You think it, Yes, helps the sale of merch because 384 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 2: you want to have a scarf. 385 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 1: And that's the moment that you remember from the Grand Final. 386 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 2: I watched the Broncos last night and I was almost 387 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 2: sick for you, Like I honestly was, because there's just 388 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 2: a different feeling when you know someone, you care about someone, 389 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 2: and you're emotionally attached to the team. 390 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: And honestly, I understand because you love me, so therefore 391 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: it was heightened emotion. But that game that we saw 392 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: last night was honestly amazing. 393 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 2: Genuinely, it hooked me on NRL. The momentum shifts. I've 394 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,479 Speaker 2: never experienced anything like it in any other sport, truly. 395 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, and when there's a shoppable it actually is. And 396 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: when there's a shift in NRL, I would say yeah 397 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: against any other code, it completely changes the game. What 398 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: was crazy about last night was that we had two 399 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: distinct momentum changes and they came in the same half 400 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: of football. So the Brisbane Broncos went into the halftime 401 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 1: breakdown eight points to six. Penrith Panthers had scored a 402 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 1: try good God, which was handed to them, gifted to 403 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: them by Herbie fun with the Brison Bronco center. But 404 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: and they had a penalty conversion which would prove crucial 405 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: in the end. And then they came back in the 406 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: second half and Brisbane scored three tries in ten minutes. 407 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: Their five eighth Ezra mam who has shellac on his nails, 408 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: nail art. He had a uniang, he had a smiley face. 409 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: He is twenty years of age. He's got pet snakes 410 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: at home. He used to be a dancer on the. 411 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 2: Georgie's firstborn is a dollar one to be Ezra. 412 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: Honestly, honestly, I was actually watching it with my pregnant 413 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: girlfriend at home last week and I named her child. 414 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: Jelly was on the phone at the time and I 415 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 1: may have been slightly unhinged, and by the third try, 416 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: I was like, Andra's that great name for a girl, 417 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: Like it's just I was. I was ecstatic in that moment, 418 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: and I'm so glad that Israel gave that to me. 419 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 2: But you also haddle it on it I did. I did, 420 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 2: And you repeatedly said we've lost from here before. Yes, 421 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 2: I don't want to dwell on the fact that you lost, 422 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 2: but I want to highlight it was an incredible game. 423 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 1: It was. So that was the first momentum shift. The 424 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: second one happened in the final eighteen minutes when the 425 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: Penrith Panthers scored three tries and they scored eighteen points 426 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: in eighteen minutes. 427 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 2: Nathan Cleary is a freak. 428 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 3: He is. 429 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: The most influential player of the game that I have 430 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: seen since Joey John's. 431 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 2: He essentially said get on my back, yes, not today. 432 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, and he carried that team. The thing is that 433 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: what makes it even more impressive of performance by Nathan Cleary. 434 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: I mean, he won the Clive Churchill Medal, so he 435 00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: was the best. 436 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 2: On If it hadn't gone to any one else, Oh. 437 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 1: If he was not there, there's no chance that the 438 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: Panthers will. His half's partner Jerome Leuye, left the field 439 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: halfway through that second half with like I can only say, 440 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 1: a ripped off shoulder like he was not had to 441 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: have no feeling in that arm. And yet you just 442 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: knew that it was all going to come down to 443 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: Cleary if they were going to win. And that's what 444 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: makes him one of the greatest of all time because 445 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: he sees that pressure, he takes it on and he 446 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 1: plays to it, he meets it and then he exceeds it. 447 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 2: He played with such maturity and he is so young. 448 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: Twenty five years of eve. 449 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 2: I feel like we've been talking about him for twenty 450 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 2: five years. 451 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, this is how incredible he's been. So 452 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: the Panthers have made four straight finals. He's been a 453 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 1: key part of all of those. He's now a triple 454 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: Premiership player at the ripe old age of twenty five. 455 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: This Panthers team is in the conversation about being the 456 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: greatest team that we've ever seen in the NRL with 457 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,479 Speaker 1: the stats. Technically they are because no one has won 458 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: a three p since the eighties, which was Paramatta. That 459 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: wasn't a professional era, so in the professional era of 460 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 1: rugby league. This is the best team we have seen. 461 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 2: And when he was interviewed by Freddie after the game, 462 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 2: he said, we just didn't give up. We ever never 463 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 2: lied down, never give up attitude and that's what you saw. Yeah, 464 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 2: like it takes. And again we think about the parallels 465 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 2: between Collingwood and the Panthers. It's that belief that you 466 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 2: can come from anywhere and win it. Yes, And you 467 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 2: just knew throughout the whole AFL Grand Final that colling 468 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 2: would know what it's like to be on the ropes 469 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,360 Speaker 2: and come back and clinch it by the smallest margins. 470 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 2: And even watching Penrith when the Broncos got out to 471 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 2: one of the largest leads it's ever been turned around, 472 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 2: the largest, the largest in an NRL Grand Final, you 473 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 2: just knew he wasn't gonna lie down. 474 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: And it's a tough lesson for my beautiful Broncos. But 475 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: I actually think that the old you need to lose 476 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: one to win when they are young, so their babies, 477 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: their babies, and I think that this is goning to 478 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I have to think this for my mental 479 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: health is going to be good for them in the 480 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: long run, and that this is the start of the 481 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: Brisbane Broncos dynasty. 482 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 2: I'm sad for you, but last week you mentioned that 483 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 2: Keviy Walters, Yeah, should they win, was getting a million 484 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 2: dollar bonus. Can you imagine sitting back and going well 485 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 2: in order to lose from here, it would have to 486 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 2: be history. Yeah, I'd be on real estate dot Com. 487 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: I think he's there literally when we were twenty four 488 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 1: to eight up, he's just there like counting, you know, one, two, three, four, 489 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: like just counting the seconds by trying to get to 490 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: a million. 491 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. 492 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, a million dollars slipping through his like his fingers. 493 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 2: I mean, explain to me, because it's different with AFL 494 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 2: the ownership system. How do you get a million dollars 495 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 2: as a bonus as a coach? It was because that 496 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 2: ain't soft cap. 497 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it was assigning bonus because the Broncos have 498 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: very wealthy owners and they were in such dire straits, right, 499 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: so it was like and they demand excellence, so there's 500 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: incentives there. If you get this team to win, you get. 501 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 2: This And is that what Craig Bellamy said no to? 502 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: I think so. I think they're throwing everything at Craig Bellamy. 503 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: But yeah, he didn't.
