Let's be real like, well, 58 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 4: not really a rough shot. 59 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 3: They've been absolutely dominant across the last couple of years. 60 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 3: They've barely lost a game, but they've been had a 61 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 3: rough shot in Grand finals. This time they would not 62 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 3: be denied. And from the outset in their former win 63 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 3: over Western United, they were just really looked on, definitely 64 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 3: looked on. It was their six, as we said, six 65 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,399 Speaker 3: consecutive Grand final, but they hadn't lifted the trophy since 66 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 3: the twenty eighteen twenty nineteen season. 67 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 2: It's a long time between drinks, it is. 68 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 3: I wonder they got a bit in their heads, especially 69 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 3: after they lost that semi final to your powers Western 70 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 3: United two weeks ago. They got the ideal start when 71 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 3: striking Madison Haley headed home and Mackenzie hawksby corner in 72 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 3: the fourth minute. Alie scored again in stopp each time. 73 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 3: It was named Player of the Grand Final for her 74 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 3: two goals, as well as setting up Skipper and Natalie 75 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 3: Tobin for another. Princess Abini won and scored a penalty 76 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 3: in the sixty third minute and promptly ran it to 77 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 3: the fans to celebrate. 78 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 2: It wasn't that amazing? 79 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:39,839 Speaker 4: So good? 80 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: It was so good, so good. 81 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: I was trying to work out if it was like 82 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: someone she knew, but it looked like they were just 83 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: super fans. 84 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 2: So good. 85 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 3: Also, like I always I think that's awesome. I always 86 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 3: feel for the security at that moment they're like, oh really, 87 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 3: because some idiot's gonna jump on the field, which they did. 88 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 4: Like it's just good fun times. 89 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 3: So she won the end score that party in the 90 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 3: sixty third minute to make the score through nil and 91 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 3: like that really kind of put that result beyond any doubt. 92 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 3: Expansion Side and Chloe's favorite Western United tried to get 93 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 3: back into the match and looked to make the game 94 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 3: to take the game physically to Sydney, as they had 95 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 3: in their semi final and only two weeks ago, but 96 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 3: Sydney FC met their opponent's physicality with some bruising defense 97 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 3: of their own. Their coach Anthony Jurich, spoke about the 98 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 3: shifting approach from the group after the match when he said, 99 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 3: we talked about not getting bullied. We've stood up against 100 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 3: a lot of teams this year that have tried to 101 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 3: bully us. 102 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 4: We let it. 103 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 3: Down two weeks ago, but we knew it was in 104 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 3: us and we showed it today. Be strong and compete 105 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 3: for everything. 106 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 4: I like that cool. 107 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 3: So it was a record crowd of nine thy five 108 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 3: hundred and nineteen fans, mostly Sydney FC ones, so record 109 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 3: Grand Final crowd at Combat Stadium and they made heaps 110 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 3: and noise, especially for Captain Tobin, who was playing her 111 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 3: one hundredth match. Tobin said after the game, I can't 112 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 3: believe we did it. Those last three round final losses 113 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 3: were heartbreaking, but now it's just elation. 114 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: Pretty cool for Nat Tobin to go through all of that, 115 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: but to be the captain, be playing your hundredth match 116 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: and a home Grand Final, and to. 117 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 2: Score a goal in as well. She ticked a lot 118 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 2: of boxes. 119 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 4: She shortage. She had the absolute dream ending to her career. 120 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 2: Which we know is very hard to come by. 121 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 4: Well, ending I haven't retired. I don't think she's retiring. 122 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: I was like, I missed that past. 123 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 4: Sorry, it's got a little other something front of mine 124 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 4: at the moment. 125 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 3: But yeah, just she had a very lovely milestone. 126 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 2: Moment and she's not retiring. 127 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 3: And she's not retiring. Well maybe she is. Maybe we've 128 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 3: just broken it. Oh no, after a mad Monday, she'll 129 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 3: come out and tell everyone sorry. At Nat Toobin, Sydney 130 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 3: FC became the first team to complete the Premiership Championship 131 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 3: double since twenty sixteen and now stand alone as the 132 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 3: most successful team in the history of the comp Bell 133 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 3: Down Girls in Boxing. 134 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: On Saturday night, Taylor Harris made a hugely triumphant return 135 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: to the boxing ring, proving way too strong for her 136 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: opponent Connie Chan. 137 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 2: It was Tay came out. I don't know if I've ever. 138 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: Seen her look that fit and that strong, and she 139 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: just was very light on her feet. 140 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 2: And I don't really know enough. 141 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: To describe how a good boxer looks, but she looked 142 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: like a good boxer. She looked ripped, Yeah, really ripped. 143 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: She's been working bloody hard for a really long time. 144 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,239 Speaker 1: She hasn't fought since twenty nineteen, I think pre COVID 145 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: and she was ready to go, so the ref had 146 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: to put a stop to the contest. After Chan was 147 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: stunned by Tay just put on this combo and I 148 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: was like, she's gonna go flying in a second, Connie Chan. 149 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: The TKO took Harris's record to eight wins and one 150 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: draw from nine fights and secured the Australasian Junior Middleweight 151 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: Championship belt. The fight was the first in four years, 152 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: as I said, for Tay, and when asked by ABC 153 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: Sport last week if she would one day like to 154 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: win a world title, she responded absolutely. I dare to 155 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: dream and that's something I'm aiming towards. I don't know 156 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: exactly when, but if the opportunity presents itself, I'm taking 157 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: it with both hands. Pretty cool and I think for Tay, 158 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: trying to get as much experience as she can while 159 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: playing footy on Australian soil and hopefully we might see 160 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: a competing overseas one day. 161 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 3: Again, this is something that we see so often and 162 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 3: it's people celebrated and it is something to be celebrated. 163 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 3: Here is an athlete that is at the very top 164 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 3: of two sports. Out of necessity or out of want? 165 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: Ah, it's a good question. I think Tay is probably 166 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: a unique example that for her it's out of want. 167 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: I think for a lot of other athletes who probably 168 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: didn't have as big of a profile, it might be 169 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: out of necessity. But I think I think she genuinely 170 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: loves doing both of those sports. 171 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. 172 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 4: Interesting, it's a bit sad today. 173 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 3: I am a bit sad now. I just think you 174 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 3: rounded it out and I had nothing more to add. 175 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 3: I thought you might say something I didn't agree with, 176 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 3: but for once that didn't happen. In hockey, oh here, 177 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 3: who's got a win? Against New Zealand. In the final 178 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 3: match of the mini tournament the FIH Pro League in 179 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 3: christ Church on Sunday, Courtney Schannell scored her first two 180 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 3: international goals to help the Aussies to a two to 181 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 3: one come from behind win. The Black Sticks opened the 182 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 3: scoring in the fourteenth minute, but the Hocky Is finished 183 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 3: strongly to scoil those two late goals and finish the 184 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 3: series on a high. The games have provided a really 185 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 3: valuable experience for a developing group. Has been a bit 186 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 3: of a change in the guard for the hockey crews, 187 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 3: with Madison Brooks and Abby Wilson also scoring their made 188 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 3: an international goals over the four games. The first match 189 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 3: of the series was the only negative of the Aussies, 190 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 3: going down one nil to Great Britain last week. They 191 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 3: then defeated the Kiwis two to one on Anzac Day 192 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 3: before exacting some revenge revenge on Great Britain with a 193 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 3: three to one victory on a Friday. The hog hero 194 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 3: Is now sit on top of the women's fih Hockey 195 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 3: Pro League standings and we'll return to Australia to prepare 196 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 3: for a three match Test series against India in Adelaide 197 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 3: from May eighteen to twenty one. 198 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: It's really cool that they played against New Zealand on 199 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: Anzac Day. We obviously see in the AFL in Rogue 200 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: League the really big traditional matches now, but I'd love 201 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: to see more women's sport having international matches against New 202 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: Zealand on ans Ac Day. I think that's a really 203 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: cool way to do it. 204 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 3: I totally agree, and I think it's something that it's 205 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 3: a day off for everyone. If you're not at the 206 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 3: pub playing two up, you kind of want to be 207 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 3: watching some sport and there's definitely a space there. 208 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 2: Tell you, what's a crazy thing that people in Melbourne 209 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 2: don't play too up. 210 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 4: It's so strange. 211 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: It's so strange it blew my mind when I was 212 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: living down there and I was like, all right, which 213 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: pub are we going to? 214 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 2: And they're like, what's two up? 215 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 4: Oh no, It's the simplest betting game in the world 216 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 4: Heads tales. I must admit. 217 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 3: I took some English friends as many many years ago, 218 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 3: took some English friends to the Harboard Hilton for their 219 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 3: first experience of two up. And they're from Manchester, pretty 220 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 3: rough area of Manchester, it has to be said. And 221 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 3: I said, all right, so if you're betting on tails, 222 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 3: you give the heads better your money and she said 223 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 3: to me, mate, and they don't run away with it. 224 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 3: I was like, no, you just give it to them 225 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 3: and then if you if if it's tales, you get 226 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 3: the money back with their money and if it's heads, 227 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 3: they keep your money. 228 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 4: She's like, this is ridiculous that that would never happen 229 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 4: at home. 230 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 2: That would never happen. Amazing. 231 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: In rugby union, England became the Six Nations Grand Slam champions, 232 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: defeating France thirty eight to thirty three in front of 233 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: a new world record crowd of fifty eight thousand, four 234 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety eight fans at Twickenham. It was a 235 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: hectic game. This this comeback from the French was pretty 236 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: mind blowing. So the English team were almost flawless in 237 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 1: the first half and halftime. They went into the Shed's 238 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: thirty three nil up. 239 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 3: They also the Frogs ended up with two players in 240 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 3: the bin at the same time in the first half, 241 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 3: which is never helped the old thirteen on fifteen. 242 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 2: It's hard not the one. 243 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: The French were not about to lie down. They scored 244 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: six tries in the second half in front of that 245 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 1: many fans like it would have the atmosphere would have 246 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: been insane. They pushed England all the way so it 247 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 1: was englishans well as we know. They held on twin 248 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: but it was England's fifth sixth Nations title in a 249 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: row and the joy, like some of some of the 250 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: photos like they looked like they'd won the World Cup, 251 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: which which probably for them after losing to New Zealand 252 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: in the recent World Cup. It was probably pretty sweet 253 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: sweet to celebrate this win. The stadium was buzzing from 254 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,599 Speaker 1: the outset and the noise did not die down for 255 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: the entire eighty minutes. We just wanted to applaud English 256 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,119 Speaker 1: Rugby's investment in the game that's helped deliver a spectacle 257 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 1: like the one nearly sixty thousand people paid to witness 258 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: on the weekend. England coach Simon Middleton announced it would 259 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: be his last match in charge leading into the game 260 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: and heaped praise on his players. He said the girl 261 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: should be massively proud of what they're doing. I'm so 262 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: proud to produce a game like that on a stage 263 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: like this is everything that is good about the game. 264 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: It's been incredible. It's a great learning experience that second 265 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: half and they will continue to grow. Skip up Marley 266 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: packass to the team wanted to keep selling our brand 267 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: a prop Hannah Bottom and made reference to the venue 268 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 1: and the crowd when she said, we want all our 269 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: fixtures to be here, but we understand that it might 270 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 1: not be feasible. There's a certain number of tickets we 271 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: have to sell to make it worth it for fans 272 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: to come here. After today's success, maybe we can get 273 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: two big crowds in for next year's six nations building 274 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: up to the World Cup until we can sell it out. 275 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: The twenty twenty five Women's Rugby World Cup will be 276 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: held in England, and given the way the game is 277 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 1: growing and being invested in, it looks like a sold 278 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: out Twickenham is not too far off Bez. 279 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely agree. I think one of the biggest things 280 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 3: about this is English rugby. The RFU have been investing 281 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 3: in their women's game for some time now and the 282 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 3: results are showing on the field. 283 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 4: They need the rest of the nations to come with them. 284 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 2: You know. 285 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 3: France is probably the only one that's testing them at 286 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 3: the moment in the six nations that their other victories 287 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 3: are quite easy. Yeah, and we need the rest of 288 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 3: the sporting world to stand up and otherwise you will 289 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 3: get this huge disparity tween teams. And again it's just 290 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 3: another it's just more concrete evidence that investment works. 291 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: And probably a similar example to the Australian women's cricket 292 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,439 Speaker 1: team exactly in the gap that they've built between some 293 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: different nations that don't receive as much investment. 294 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 2: Proof people just proof. 295 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 3: In netball, the Sydney Darby delivered on Saturday night and 296 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 3: despite the Giants leading the Swifts by five goals in 297 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 3: the third quarter, the Swift's power at home, scoring six 298 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 3: of the last seven goals to snatch a sixty seven 299 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 3: to sixty four win. Maddi Proud was again huge for 300 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 3: the Swifts in the mid court and celebrated her selection 301 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 3: in this Traine squad for this year's World Cup in 302 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 3: South Africa with a win for her club. She referenced 303 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 3: the Swift's recent string of close wins after the game, saying, 304 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 3: we like to keep the fans entertained because we don't 305 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 3: like to do it easy. 306 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 4: That's for sure. 307 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 3: It would be nice to win by a little bit 308 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 3: more and not in the dying seconds. We've learned to 309 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 3: be able to grind out games in the last few weeks. 310 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,439 Speaker 3: And on Sunday, the West Coast Fever solidified their place 311 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 3: at the top of the ladder with a seventy sixty 312 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 3: four win over the Sunshine Coast Lightning.

After 347 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: her harrowing ordeal for being found with cannabis oil in 348 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: her luggage, she spoke openly about the need for many 349 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: female athletes to have to travel overseas for financial stability 350 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: and play year round to make a living, noting the 351 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: whole reason a lot of us go over is the 352 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: pay gap. A lot of us go over there to 353 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: make an income, to support our families, to support ourselves. 354 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: So I don't knock any player that wants to go 355 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: overseas and wants to make a little bit of extra money. 356 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: But I'm hoping that ALI continues to grow. With as 357 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: many people in here now covering this, I hope you 358 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: continue to cover our league. 359 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 2: And bring exposure to us. 360 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: Pretty interesting discussion that I think a lot of people, 361 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: a lot of people and a lot of athletes are 362 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: very aware of this need to travel overseas. But I 363 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: think it's great that Grinner is highlighting it in a 364 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: new light where it actually significantly impacted her life three. 365 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 4: Hundred days in Russian prison well. 366 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: For carrying something that she should have been aware that 367 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: it was illegal in that country. It's obviously important when 368 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: you travel to look at all of those different things 369 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: and address those but for her, it's legal in her 370 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: own country, and because she was traveling to make a 371 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: living through playing sport, she's then spent three hundred days 372 00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: in prison. 373 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's that want a necessity kind of balance again, 374 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 3: isn't it you know? 375 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 2: Yeah? 376 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: And we said for someone like Tay Harris, maybe it 377 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: is more of a want, But I think for a 378 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 1: lot of these WNBA players and sport as well as 379 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: a really unique career where you've just got such a 380 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: finite window you can't even if you have the opportunity 381 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,479 Speaker 1: to make good money on home soil, if you can 382 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: make better money overseas. Because there's a sense of foreboding 383 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: sometimes around what is my career going to look like 384 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: after this? Am I ever going to make as much money? 385 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: A lot of athletes want to try and bring in 386 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: as much as they can to set their family out 387 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: for a good life. 388 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 4: And I think that's something that people that maybe aren't 389 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 4: as heavily involved in the sporting landscape probably don't quite 390 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 4: have a comprehension of. Is that. 391 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 3: You know, people look at say what athletes are pay 392 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 3: it and think, oh, it's ridiculous, but they're probably not 393 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 3: aware that this is there is a really small window. 394 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 4: This is a finite career. You are not going to 395 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 4: be the top of your game forever. You only have 396 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 4: a very very limited potential to earn that kind of money. 397 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 1: And even with the ATO, they've got exemptions as an 398 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: athlete where you can do averaging salary, averaging as a 399 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 1: special professional or something like that. There's even acknowledgment from 400 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 1: the government. 401 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 4: That someone's been doing the attack lately. 402 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: Have they Oh not recently, but I've got a good 403 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: accountant shout out to junior. I think for the government 404 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: to actually acknowledge that shows that there's a significant drop. 405 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 2: Off when you finished playing professional sport. 406 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 4: Yeah, totally agree. 407 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 2: Great contribution, Thank you. 408 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: Grane has also stated that she'll continue the work started 409 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: by her family when she was jailed and fight on 410 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: behalf of people wrongfully detained around the world. When I 411 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: asked what her message would be for Wall Street Journal 412 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: reporter Evan Gershkevich and US citizen Paul Wheelin, both held 413 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 1: in Russia, Grinner replied, I would say, to everyone that's 414 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: wrongfully detained right across the world, stay strong, keep fighting, 415 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: don't give up, Just keep pushing, because we're not going 416 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: to stop. We're not going to stop fighting. We're not 417 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: going to stop bringing awareness to everyone that's left behind 418 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 1: right now. A partnership between Griner, the Mercury, and the 419 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: Bring Our Families Home organization was announced last week, which 420 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: will incorporate in game PSAs and social media content to 421 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: keep the names and stories of those detained front of mind. 422 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: The BOFH logo will be a fixed to the Mercury's 423 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: home court when the team tips off its twenty twenty 424 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: three season in May, replacing the BG forty two mark 425 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 1: near center court that was installed last season, and at 426 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: every regular season home game this summer, the Mercury will 427 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: host a letter writing station for fans to draft handwritten 428 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: notes of hope and encouragement to those detained and calls 429 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: for action to elected officials to bring individuals home. I 430 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: love that the WNBA really lead the way in creating 431 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: positive change. 432 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 4: The social awareness pieces, for sure. I just love I 433 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 4: don't know.

But yeah, I think that that 439 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,959 Speaker 3: The fact that kind of Begi's come home and not 440 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 3: stop the fight, I think is really commendable and well 441 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 3: done to the Mercury for getting on board there in 442 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 3: Ruby Union. 443 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 2: Are you ready for this? 444 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: Not? 445 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 4: Really can't believe you gave it to me? 446 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 2: Well you were, they're experiencing it.

On Sunday, which is only yesterday, 451 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 3: for those wondering why I'm still so salty about it. 452 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 3: The Super w semi finals were played at Concord Oval 453 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 3: in Sydney in front. 454 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 4: Of a really healthy crowd. Actually it was it was nice. 455 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 4: That part was nice. 456 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 3: The undefeated New soophar As Warritors were heavily favored to 457 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 3: beat a Fiji on a Jewis side that had dominated 458 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 3: that they had dominated only two weeks earlier, and he'd 459 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 3: been experiencing issues with travel, food and other logistics as 460 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 3: a result of Fiji rubb union's financial crisis, a Fijian 461 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 3: rub union and now I think a nine hundred thousand 462 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 3: dollars loss. There's bills outstanding everywhere. There's just a lot 463 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 3: going on and it is massive. Kudos to the Drew 464 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 3: girls forgetting the win despite all of that. And as 465 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 3: I said, if there's one thing that Fiji Rubbi can 466 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 3: handle it his chaos. They seem to almost thrive. 467 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 2: Over thriving chaos, don't they. 468 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 3: So in that first match, Jewish showed plenty of heart 469 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 3: to come back from seventeen nil down to secure their 470 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 3: Grand Final spot with a twenty to seventeen win over 471 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 3: my tars. 472 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 4: We started really fast. I think sometimes that's a bit 473 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 4: of a negative in a way. You kind of goh're 474 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 4: on here. 475 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, you get a little bit complacent, do you think. 476 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, And even though you know that you don't want 477 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 3: that to happen. Sometimes it's weird. It just happens. 478 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 4: Mind you. 479 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 3: I know you and I spoken about momentum a lot 480 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 3: it's a weird thing. 481 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 4: It's hard to stop, it's hard to start. 482 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 3: And we just lost it. So yeah, we got up 483 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 3: to a twelve lead after only ten minutes. I was 484 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 3: cheering anyway. That swing momentum came half over the first 485 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 3: half and Drew started playing that offload game that is 486 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 3: so hard to defend against. The second half was a lot. 487 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 3: We went to halftime up by five, seventeen to twelve. 488 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 3: Second half was very tense. We tend to go. The 489 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 3: defending champions scored to take the lead for the first 490 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 3: time in the match. The war Tars attacked until the end, 491 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 3: but we couldn't find a way over the line and 492 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 3: we won't be playing the SUPERWO Grand Final for the 493 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 3: first time in the competition's six year history. The second 494 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 3: semifinal was also a super tight match with the Queensland 495 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 3: Reds and Act Brumby's trading tries and penalties. 496 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 4: At the death was really close. Actually usially an import. 497 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 3: Carris Stealinger sealed the match for the Reds in the 498 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 3: seventy seventh minute when she landed a penegal from almost 499 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 3: in front to secure a twenty three to twenty victory 500 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,239 Speaker 3: for the Reds. The Grand final will be played on 501 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 3: Saturday in Townsville between the Reds and the Fijiana. Dreuer 502 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 3: Drew will be looking to defend the trophy they won 503 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 3: last season, and the Reds are we desperate for their 504 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 3: first ever Super W title. And I don't know who 505 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 3: I'm going for putting it out there. I'm not sure 506 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 3: anyone really. 507 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: In some more world record news. Actually that's the thing, 508 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: more world records.
