I don't think 59 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: that was very good grammar. 60 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 2: Well you said you want good word for the data too. 61 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 2: You're done. World Cup champs again. 62 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 3: Meg Lanning scored won their third straight title with an 63 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 3: emphatic nineteen run victory over hosts South Africa in Cape 64 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 3: Town on Monday morning. The Aussies are so dominant. They've 65 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 3: now won six of the eight T twenty World Cups 66 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 3: ever played. 67 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: It's very impressive. 68 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 2: I need to do. I think they didn't win the 69 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 2: first one. England won it. 70 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 3: They had a blip in I want to say twenty 71 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 3: sixteen when the Windys won it, but otherwise they've won 72 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 3: every single one. 73 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 1: So they've just got a three peet. So we're twenty 74 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: twenty three. 75 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 3: No one knows. Covid ruined everything for everybody. I can't 76 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 3: do those, it's way too hard. Beth Mooney's unbeaten fifty 77 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 3: three balls seventy four set her team up for a 78 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 3: strong total of one hundred and fifty six from their 79 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 3: twenty overs. The bowlers then took over and they did 80 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 3: not let anyone down, bowling with clinical accuracy and never 81 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 3: allowing the South Africans to get a sniff of getting 82 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 3: close to the total. They finished their twenty overs with 83 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 3: a score of six for one hundred. 84 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 2: And thirty seven. 85 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 3: It was a shared effort from the Aussie bowlers, with Ashgardner, 86 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 3: Meghan Shoot, Darcy Brown and Jess Johonason each taking key wickets. 87 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 3: Ashgardner was named Player of the Tournament after the match 88 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 3: and played a vital hand with the momentum shifting at 89 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 3: twenty nine off one. Lanning said after the game, we 90 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 3: felt like it was a good score, but we had 91 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 3: to bowl well. We had to put pressure on South Africa. 92 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 3: It was about enjoying the process and do what we 93 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 3: were doing, about keeping things simple when the pressure is on. 94 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 2: Thoroughly enjoyed it. 95 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 3: Lanning has now led Australia to four T twenty World 96 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 3: Cup titles and one ODI World Cup title, more ICC 97 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 3: tournament wins than any other captain in men's or women's cricket. 98 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: That's a cool start. 99 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 2: Best captain ever. 100 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: I need to get a post up about it. 101 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 2: Absolutely. 102 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 3: The game is a sellout with fifteen thousand people packing 103 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 3: into the Newlands Ground. It was the first time a 104 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 3: women's sporting event has sold out in the country and 105 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 3: I think just a huge step forward for female athletes 106 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 3: in South Africa. There's a lot of chat on Twitter 107 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 3: about just the buzz that was happening in Cape Town 108 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 3: across all of South Africa from those athletes. 109 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 2: They were just so stoked to be a part of. 110 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: It, because I know it's a far cry from the 111 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: eighty six thousand at the MCG that we saw in 112 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Was that it was just pre COVID, wasn't 113 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: it was? It was a day before the world ended, 114 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: Yes it was, But the fact that it was the 115 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: first time a women's sporting event into South Africa has 116 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: ever sold out. I think that in itself, it didn't 117 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: really matter what the numbers were, like, I think it 118 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: was just a really momentous occasion for the country. 119 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 3: Well, the question needs to probably be asked, did I 120 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 3: seek sell themselves short? 121 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 2: And should the final have been at a big venue? 122 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: But we love a bigger venue? 123 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 3: Well why not give the people a chance? I totally 124 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 3: just on the team. I think when Lanning said there, 125 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 3: she speaks about having fun, keeping things simple, enjoying the 126 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 3: process watching. I watched a probably most of the games, 127 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 3: some of them in the hour highlight packages, but watch 128 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 3: most of them. That was the strong theme for me 129 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 3: from the Aussie team throughout the tournament. They looked like 130 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 3: they were genuinely having a good time. 131 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: I also wanted to add I acknowledge your point, but 132 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: I just thought of something else while you were talking. 133 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: From what I understand, you could tell me as chief 134 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: research up. But from what I understand, the only way 135 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: to get access to tickets was to line up outside 136 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: the stadium, So I don't think you could you could 137 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: get them online. I think people had to physically line up, 138 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: so they were queuing for hours. 139 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 3: The late release one so I think they'd sold x 140 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 3: amount right to the final and then they kind of 141 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 3: found three thousand more tickets and they and they were physical. 142 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 2: Cue once so lucky you're here. Is it's good? I 143 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 2: read more than just the heading. 144 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: No, she read this in an article, Thank you very much. 145 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: Onto the next then more cricket. This was insane. 146 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 2: It was a crazy, crazy time. 147 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: If you haven't seen the last over of this match, 148 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: you need to go and check it out on our Instagram. 149 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: We shared it as a real It was mind blowing. 150 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: So the WNCL final, so that's the domestic cricket competition 151 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,799 Speaker 1: for the women, between Tasmania and South Australia on Saturday 152 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: was out of this world. The match was played in 153 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: Hobart and the host looked to be out of the contest, 154 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: with South Australia only needing four runs from the final 155 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: over with five wickets in hand, It's a pretty simple 156 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: equation for the Scorpions, but the Tazzi team and bowl 157 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: of Sarah Koit were not about to give up. In 158 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: a mind blowing final over all, five wickets fell and 159 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: the South Australians finished two runs short of the required total. 160 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: Cod was like she just like stepped up into this 161 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: crazy like. 162 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 2: In the zone. 163 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: In the zone, wasn't she she believed. She took three 164 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: wickets and pulled off a run out during the over, 165 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: helping her earn the Player of the Match award. Very 166 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: very well deserved. 167 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 3: I'd say it was, but obviously continue at least Vlllani 168 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 3: batted like a champ. 169 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 2: Champ. I was gonna say chief, and I realized how 170 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 2: condescending that it. 171 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: Is not good. 172 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 2: It just satted like a legit. 173 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: It was Tasmania's second consecutive w NCL title, and captain 174 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: Elise Vlani said she thought her team was done and 175 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: dusted before they staged the remarkable comeback. Valani was impressive 176 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: with the bat, scoring one hundred and ten in Tasmania's innings. 177 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: It's a pretty solid effort, isn't it. After the match, 178 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: she was speechless. She did manage to sum up how 179 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: everyone watching the match felt when she said there was 180 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: probably a five percent chance at the beginning of the 181 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: over that we could end up being victors. But cricket 182 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: is a funny game. I've never seen anything like that. 183 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: I've certainly never been a part of anything like that before. 184 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: I was very relieved when we were walking off the ground. 185 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: To be honest, to be able to pull that off. 186 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: So Cooit, who was player of the match, finished with 187 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: the figures of four to thirty from eight overs, and 188 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: her skipper said, Koity was so cool, calm and collected 189 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: at the end. It was unbelievable stuff from her. 190 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 2: Amazing, how good? How good sport? Oh, we love it 191 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 2: in surfing. 192 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 3: So as we were recording last week Central Coast and 193 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 3: Molly Picklan was beating Tyler Wright at Sunset Beach in Hawaii. 194 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: That was when you weren't actually listened. 195 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 3: I absolutely was where we distracted in the semifinals. Hours later, 196 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 3: she also beat American Caroline Marx and secured her first 197 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 3: victory on the World Championship Tour. The win put her 198 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 3: in equal first place and she will wear the yellow 199 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 3: jersey alongside Krusa Moore. 200 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 2: At stop number three. 201 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 3: It's a really impressive rise to the top given it's 202 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 3: only a second year on tour and last year she 203 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 3: was cut from the surfing limelight when she didn't make 204 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 3: the mid season cut. After her win, pickl And referenced 205 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 3: the challenges of last season, saying, looking back on being 206 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 3: cut last year, it was tough, for sure. I'm so 207 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 3: proud and so happy that I never got two down 208 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 3: on myself either. I didn't let it knock my confidence 209 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 3: too much. I kept believing, and I'm pretty proud of that. 210 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 3: I'm proud of myself for just chipping away. Even though 211 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 3: there's so many setbacks, emotions and mind games in it all, 212 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 3: moments like these make it all worth it. Interesting when 213 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 3: she talks about mind games surfing, it must be a 214 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 3: create like it. 215 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 2: Mentally, you are sitting at the back waiting for a wave. 216 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 2: What if it doesn't come? 217 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: What if it doesn't come? 218 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 2: There's nothing you can do about that. 219 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 3: Now to be able to actually almost disassociate from nature 220 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 3: and say, all right, nature, today wasn't my day. 221 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 2: I don't know if I could do a sport like that. 222 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: We tried to tie the ride a fair bit about 223 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: that when we had her on the podcast interview in 224 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: season two of the podcasts. I think it was and 225 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: just that it's surfings are weirds, but where so much 226 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: as out of your control and so much as in 227 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: the hands of nature. 228 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 2: Yeah. Crazy. 229 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 3: The two are now heads to Portugal with the Ripkel 230 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 3: Pro in Paniche starting on at March eighth, and not wait. 231 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: In netball, the preseason is here and the West Coast 232 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: Fever have started twenty twenty three in similar fashion to 233 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: how they ended it collecting the silverware. The West Australians 234 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: beat a new look Adelaide Thunderbirds forty nine to forty 235 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: one on Sunday afternoon to claim the preseason Team Girls 236 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: Cup and send a strong message to their competition the 237 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 1: preseason tournaments or teams able to wear inclusive uniforms across 238 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: the weekend. I love this. I thought this was so cool. 239 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 3: Just I only caught the final and as they were 240 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 3: running out, I was like, Hey, they've got shorts and 241 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 3: singlet's on. 242 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 2: How cool? So cool Adelaide did. 243 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 3: The Fever still had their dresses on, but the but 244 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 3: Adelaide wore singlet and black black pants. 245 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was interesting that. I don't know if they 246 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: were doing it because of the fact that they could 247 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: choose those uniforms, but they still chose to do it. 248 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 1: That was not a very good sentence. But do you 249 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? No, I don't, Okay, Bailey, just 250 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: crop that out. 251 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 2: Leave it in. 252 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: Oh dear. The Queensland Firebirds Sunshine Coast Lightning and Adelaide 253 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: Thunderbirds all took advantage of the new rules, which allows 254 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: players to choose from a range of uniform options, including 255 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: singlet shorts, long and short sleeved T shirts, long pants, leggings, 256 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: and scortscots. I still love escort. 257 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 3: My spellcheck tried to make me change it into skirts. 258 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: It's a weird word. 259 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 2: No, it's a scoorret, spell check. 260 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: It's definitely a scort in addition to the traditional playing dress. 261 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: Before the tournament, Thunderbird defender Matilda Garrett so it was 262 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:52,359 Speaker 1: time for elite players to showcase inclusivity. She said. Representation 263 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: is powerful and it is paramount for young netballers of 264 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: all genders, abilities and cultural backgrounds to see professional athletes 265 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 1: leading the way. I love that. It's really good from her, 266 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: the new look uniforms will be permitted throughout the regular 267 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: Super Netball season and can we warned at the clubs 268 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: and players discretion. I hadn't realized because I was thinking 269 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 1: it was just for the preseason tournament. It's pretty cool 270 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: they're going to have that in super Netball. 271 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. Interest to see how many teams take it on 272 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 2: board and run with it. 273 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: I would be just in case anyone was wondering if. 274 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 3: Chloe Dalton was in the leadership group of a netball team, 275 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 3: which is probably a fair way off ever happening. Ever, ever, ever, 276 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 3: she'd definitely be voting for what would shorts and sound. Yeah, 277 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 3: I agree in basketball talking about singlets and shorts. Double 278 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 3: lovely and bl match of the round did not disappoint. 279 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 3: On Sunday afternoon, American Tiana Hawkins left it real late 280 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 3: when converting a clutch hook shot on the full time 281 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 3: buzzer against the Sydney Flames to get her Towns Will 282 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 3: Fire team a one point win seventy three seventy two 283 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 3: that ended up. The victory was top ranked Towns Will 284 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 3: Fires tenth straight win and orbit sealed a home court 285 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 3: advantage for the first week of finals lay out on 286 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 3: a streak out lay their countnate. This Saturday's blockbuster between Townsville, 287 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 3: who were fifteen and four and the South Side Fliers, 288 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 3: who are fifteen and five in Melbourne will likely determine 289 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 3: the regular season championship. The Flies are locked in a 290 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 3: top two spot after maintaining their dominance over the Melbourne 291 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 3: Boomers with a comprehensive eighty one to sixty seven triumph 292 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 3: at the State Basketball Center. 293 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: In soccer, the Matildas finished the job last week, beating 294 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: Jamaica three to nil and securing the Cup of Nations 295 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 1: trophy in the process. It was an excellent World Cup 296 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: dress rehearsal for the Aussies and coach Tony Gestaps and 297 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: was impressed with the squad's ability to perform over the 298 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: three matches played in quick succession, which I guess in 299 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: a way was trying to replicate what a World Cup 300 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 1: schedule might look like. On Wednesday, Katrina Gory opened the 301 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: scoring with a screamer from outside the box, and second 302 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: half goals to Alex Chitdiak and Caitlin Ford secured the 303 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: team a seventh straight victory. 304 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 2: I thought it was six seven six was the Spanish one? 305 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: Yeah? Wow? Seven in a row? 306 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, eight to their record. We do play England next. 307 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: I was about to say that, yeah, don't lose hope, 308 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: because when I put the poll in to the people 309 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: on t FAP social media can the Tillies win the 310 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: World Cup? I think it was over ninety percent that 311 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: said yes, absolutely they can. We back them in. Goalkeeper 312 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: Mackenzie Arnold was incredible throughout the tournament. She was named 313 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: Player of the Tournament for a series of standout saves 314 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: across all three games. I saw the Matildas do a 315 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: pretty cool compilation of some of her saves. There was 316 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: one she was like diving to her right and like 317 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: wisted her left leg to stop the ball. 318 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 2: I love the leg save, Yeah, I love it. 319 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: After the tournament, it was announced that the Matilda's next opponents, 320 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: as we said, will be euro Champs England in April. 321 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: I'm backing the made in a row. Let's do it. 322 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: The match will we played in Brentford on April eleven 323 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: and will act as another critical precursor for the team 324 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: facing arguably the best team in the world three months 325 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: before the World Cup. Pretty Much everyone I ask, who 326 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: do you think are the main contenders? Beside the Tillies, 327 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: England are the team to beat. There will then be 328 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: one more friendly in Melbourne at the start of July 329 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: against an opponent yet to be named before the World 330 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: Cup begins. It's very exciting. 331 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 2: It is very exciting. 332 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 3: We've jumped on and got some tickets because a little 333 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 3: bit late the other day and I was very excited 334 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 3: to be successful in the old Matilda Island ticket rab. 335 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: And for the people who missed out. From our understanding, 336 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: there will be a final ticket release in April. We're 337 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: not sure how many tickets that involves, but there will 338 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: be a final ticket release for that opening match against Ireland. 339 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, all matches too, So anything you missed out on, 340 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 3: don't give up hope just yet. 341 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: So the Tillies are now back with their club teams 342 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: and on Monday morning, Sam Kerr made her hundredth appearance 343 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: for the Mighty Chelsea in their fifth round FA Cup 344 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: match against Arsenal. Caitlin Ford and Steph Catley lined up 345 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: for the Gunners, but it was their national skipper and 346 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: her blues that got the win. To Nell made Bears 347 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: very happy and progressed to the FA Cup quarterfinal. Curseyal 348 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: the win in the fifty first minute when she scored 349 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: after a swift counter attack. The Chelsea fans sung her 350 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: name and got a bit cheeky singing even with jet lag, 351 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: she's better than you. I love it's so good. 352 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 2: English football fans are really clever with their chance. 353 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: It's not a lot like it is that that's great, 354 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: that's so. 355 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 2: Good, even with jet lags. She's better than you after. 356 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: She scored her eighty second goal for the club. They're 357 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: not wrong, are they? 358 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 3: Eighty two goals in one hundred appearances. That's a pretty 359 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 3: decent strike rate. 360 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. 361 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 2: In AFLW. 362 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 3: Last week, the AFL finalized terms for player movement this offseason. 363 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 3: Part of that means the four expansion teams from season 364 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 3: seven Essendon, Hawthorne, Port, Adelaide and Sydney will be able 365 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 3: to sign Priority signing period players without a trade. 366 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 2: It's as a mouthful that is, isn't it. 367 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: It's just a lot of There is a low confusion. 368 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 2: Confusion rains. 369 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 3: The AFLW Priority signing period opens on March first, and 370 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 3: You's got Media reported that is expected Collin would start. 371 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 3: Chloe molloy will officially announce her signing with the Sydney 372 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 3: Swans shortly after. Mlloy, who has taken IT pick three 373 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 3: in the twenty seventeen draft, has played forty seven games. 374 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 3: It's making her debut in IT twenty eighteen and been 375 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 3: selected as an All Australian twice. She was named Rising 376 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 3: Star in twenty eighteen and won the Pies Best in 377 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 3: Ferris that same year. This is obviously pretty important for 378 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 3: the Swans. They've been trying to attract a big name 379 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 3: I guess of the last eighteen months or so since 380 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 3: they've been slated to be a part of the competition, 381 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 3: and Molloy definitely fits that bill. 382 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, she does. And I think it's actually really cool 383 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 1: seeing deals like this in football. It's leading the way. 384 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: We know. It's more for the expansion teams to help 385 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: them get a bit of security and like you said, 386 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: Lewis and more players to those clubs, but just as 387 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 1: a female athlete having the security of a four or 388 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: five year deal is huge. Am I starting to see 389 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: players like Chloe Molloy, who I would imagine would be 390 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: on the top tier, actually have the ability to earn 391 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: some really good money for playing football. 392 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 3: That is part of the new deal all those clubs 393 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 3: is they can now able to sign people for two 394 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 3: more years and everyone else. So I think the maximum 395 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,479 Speaker 3: is now five year contract for those clubs. 396 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: I believe so so five years a. 397 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 3: Five year contract, that's pretty unheard of in women's sport. 398 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 2: Really yeah. 399 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 1: I couldn't really name another athlete on a five year 400 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: It might be a four year. I know it's been 401 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: reported five years, but mine is standing from the AFOWS 402 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 1: and it's going to be a four year situation. 403 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 3: Still pretty decent given that you guys are literally on 404 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 3: and most female athletes in Australia on twelve month contracts 405 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 3: that if that, yeah, that they don't know what's going 406 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 3: to happen. Yeah, a lot of them are eight week 407 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 3: six week correct contracts. So yeah, onwards for the AFLW. 408 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 3: Very exciting times. 409 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: In a bit more soccer news, the spotlight is as 410 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 1: we discussed last week, soccer's receiving a lot of spotlight 411 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: and we're seeing a lot of football players, i should say, 412 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: standing up for their rights. This one's a little bit 413 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 1: ambiguous in terms of full details of what has occurred, 414 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 1: but with a World Cup on the horizon and plenty 415 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 1: of action on the field, sadly there's been a fabit 416 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: going on off field with another country in the media 417 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: for the wrong reasons. French captain Wendy Renaud said on 418 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: Friday that she will not play at this year's Women's 419 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: World Cup to preserve her mental health, adding that she 420 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: can no longer support the current system. The thirty two 421 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 1: year old is one one hundred and forty two caps 422 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 1: for France and is considered to be one of the 423 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: best defenders in women's football. She released a statement on 424 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 1: social media that read, I love France more than anything. 425 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 1: I'm not perfect, far from it, but I can no 426 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: longer support the current system, which is far from the 427 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: requirements of the highest level. It is a sad day, 428 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: but necessary to preserve my mental health. With a heavy heart, 429 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: that I come to inform you of my decision to 430 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 1: step back from the French team. Unfortunately, I will not 431 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: be playing in this World Cup under such conditions. My 432 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: face may hide the pain, but my head heart is 433 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: suffering and I don't want to suffer anymore emotional. 434 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 3: According to report in French at Multi meter outlet RMC Sport, 435 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 3: Renald will not play for the national team as long 436 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 3: as the coach perinn At di'a cre is in charge. 437 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 3: Renad has had a difficult relationship with manager Karen dr 438 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 3: Cre since she took over in twenty seventeen. Giak's first 439 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 3: act was to strip Renaud of the captains, he claiming 440 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 3: she did not play as well for France as she 441 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,479 Speaker 3: did for her club Leon, But in twenty twenty one, 442 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 3: Jark reinstated Renaud as a captain, but all does not 443 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 3: seem well. 444 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: No so. A short time after Renard released her statement, 445 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: fellow internationals Marie Antoinette Katoto and Kadadidiato Dianni voice his 446 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 1: support for their skipper and announced they would be stepping 447 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: down from the national team until changes are made. The 448 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: French Football Federation said in response, the FFF has taken 449 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: note of the declarations of Renald, Dianny and Katoto. Its 450 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 1: executive committee, which will meet on twenty eighth February, will 451 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: address the issue on that occasion. The FFF would like 452 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: to remind that no individual is above the equipped to 453 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 1: France institution. That is one of my most hated lines. 454 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 1: I think it's pretty disgusting. It should be. The FFF 455 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: would like to remind everyone that player well being is 456 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: the highest priority in all circumstances. I'm quite angry about that, 457 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 1: I could tell. Let's take a look at the key story. 458 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 3: World Pride is in full swing in Sydney and on 459 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 3: the weekend the biggest ever Mardi gra Parde was held 460 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 3: back in its spiritual home, with twelve thousand participants marching 461 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 3: down Oxford Street. Obviously, for those two years during COVID, 462 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 3: it moved into the Sydney Career Ground, which was great, 463 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 3: but not as great the Sydney Swan's AHLW team marched 464 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 3: alongside members of their men's team. 465 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 2: They had some really cool swans. 466 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 3: Pride is really cool and all their glitter and everything 467 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 3: all right. It was the sixth time the club has 468 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 3: marched in the parade and the first time they were 469 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 3: obviously joined by their women's team. 470 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: I would also like to say that Bes's name this 471 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: story Pride Cocktails, because over the last couple of weeks 472 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: we've all been out a couple of times for some 473 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: dinner and drinks, and every bar that we're out Bez 474 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: has ordered the Pride cocktail. We have not had a 475 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 1: single one. That's the first one was like layers of 476 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 1: rainbow colors and when you mix it together it tastes 477 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: around dishwashing liquid. Was terrible. 478 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 2: I had way too much Pride that night. 479 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: The watermelon flavored one on the weekend was quite nice. 480 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 3: That's the best of the bad bunch so far. So 481 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 3: we're still on the scout for more Pride cocktails. If 482 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 3: anyone's had a good one, hit us up let us know. 483 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: Back to the actual Pride story. So last week, the 484 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 1: Matildas were given the opportunity to wear rainbow number jerseys 485 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 1: to acknowledge and celebrate the LGBTQIA plus community. The decision 486 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: to support was unanimous, with Captain Sam Kerr, who also 487 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: donned the Pride Progress Captain's armband, excited to promote a 488 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: message close to her heart. Ker said, with Sydney World 489 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: Pride twenty twenty three coming up, the option to wear 490 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: rainbow numbers on our jersey was put forward and the 491 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 1: response from the team was really good. Everyone was on 492 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: board and wanted to show that we are an inclusive team. 493 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: We're very accepting of everyone, no matter who they want 494 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: to be, who they want to love, what religion they are, 495 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: what race they are, we are all together as one. 496 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: We wanted to show the community that no matter who 497 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: you are, you will be accepted. I almost got a 498 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: little bit theery on that one. Oh she's a bit 499 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: dramatic today, isn't she. Oh. I just think that was 500 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: so beautifully put by Sam ker I agree. 501 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 3: There's everyone that's spoken about it has spoken so well 502 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 3: as well. I think it's really reassuring. It's like a 503 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 3: warm hug. 504 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,719 Speaker 1: It is a warm hug. It was the first time 505 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: a national team wore pride colors in an international match. 506 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: Isn't that incredible? It's quite surprising. 507 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 3: Ailey did a really good job over the weekend. It 508 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 3: was their Pride Round and obviously their club teams wore 509 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 3: pride jerseys. But yeah, it's the first time an Australian 510 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 3: national team has worn a Pride Yeah. 511 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: Cool. I also loved how they carried out little puppy dogs. 512 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:04,880 Speaker 2: Yeah what was that for. 513 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: I think it was about like rescue dogs, rescue dogs. 514 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:08,640 Speaker 2: Amazing. 515 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, I'm not playing today. I've got to go 516 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: play with this puppy curse stressed. Everyone should feel comfortable 517 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: in whatever skin they're in, whoever they want to be, 518 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: whoever they want to love. I think sometimes the world 519 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: could be a little bit nicer to one another, and 520 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,439 Speaker 1: this is just one way of showing with sand with 521 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: everyone inside and outside of the community. I think this 522 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: is pretty cool from Kerr. We know how much she 523 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 1: is absolutely killing it on the field at the moment, 524 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: and she's very like on social media, her and her partner, 525 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: they're very very public about their relationship, which I think 526 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: is amazing. But it's kind of cool to see her 527 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: speaking in this capacity. I feel like this is the 528 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: first time she's had a real voice on social issues 529 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: from what I've seen. I don't know if there's something 530 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: in particular that I've missed, but I think something she's 531 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: really passionate about. 532 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 3: I agree, and as we spoke of last week, she's 533 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 3: week before. No one knows she is at that stage 534 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 3: now now where her profile is substantial as it should 535 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 3: be huge, and she has a platform and she's using 536 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 3: it for good like the legend that she is. For 537 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,679 Speaker 3: the match injured Matilda Chloe Lagazo was presented with her 538 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 3: Rainbow Champion Ambassadorship for the twenty twenty three Sydney World 539 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,719 Speaker 3: Pride in recognition of the LGBTQUIA Plus and youth advocacy 540 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 3: work she's done over the years. Like Gazo said after 541 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 3: receiving the award that she wants to leave a legacy 542 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 3: off the field when she finishes her career. She said, 543 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,239 Speaker 3: if there's anything I want to leave the game with, 544 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 3: it's more off the field than on the field. I 545 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 3: want people to know that there's so much to learn 546 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 3: through sport, whether it's at the highest level or not. 547 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 3: It teaches you so much about who you are and 548 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,360 Speaker 3: what you need to learn about your body and your 549 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 3: mind and your soul. The Matilda's and the Federation has 550 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 3: allowed me to extend everything that I've learned through my 551 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 3: career and have a platform to tell my story and 552 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 3: help other people who may be going through the same thing. 553 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 2: I want all younger people. 554 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 3: Who are in my situation, who didn't have people to 555 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 3: look up to, to see that there's someone like them 556 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 3: and that they can aspire to be like them. 557 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 2: I never had that. I want to be what I 558 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 2: couldn't see. 559 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:10,360 Speaker 1: These are some strong women and I love it. It's 560 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: so good. Stop laughing at me getting a bit Deierie okay. 561 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: Friend of the Pod and all round legend Ellie Cole 562 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: also took part in the march on the weekend and 563 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,959 Speaker 1: said it was inspiring to see the values shared by 564 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: the International Paralympic Movement and World Pride. She said the 565 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,199 Speaker 1: Paralympic movement has clearly showne a spotlight for inclusion and 566 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: diversity in the sporting world, and there's no doubt about that. 567 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: It's really interesting seeing the correlation with how far I've 568 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: come in terms of the Paralympic world and the Paralympic 569 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: messaging and how that's relating to World Pride this week 570 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: and next week. It's just been incredible to see people 571 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: who just want to bring their true selves and be 572 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: celebrated for that. That is something I tried to do 573 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: for my entire Paralympic career, just be really authentic, and 574 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: people resonated with that. So I think this is why 575 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: this week means so much to me and why World 576 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: Pride me so much to me, because I've never wanted 577 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: to hide who I am. She was she looked magic. 578 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: Stop looking at me.
