Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Vine
from News Talk, ZEDB.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
And Peacock with us Big day at Randwick today, Adam,
the Everest sit to jump around the four fifteen your time.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Huge.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
It's quickly become the biggest day in Sydney racing and
it's vying I think with Melbourne Cup for the biggest
day in racing full stop in Australia. It's massly fifty
thousand people at Randwick and they've got it right this
year because they've got the international influence.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
They've got the best horse in Hong Kong.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Who actually is a kiw It was brought out of
New Zealand, Carying Rising. He's the dominant favorite in a
twenty million dollar Ossie Everest.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
It's quite extraordinary when you say that sentence.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
But yeah, which means that all of Hong Kong will
be watching as well and for betting, that means the
pools are juiced up. But in terms of the talk
this well, yeah, it's been all about the Everest, which
is Melbourne Cup.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Like really yeah, absolutely brilliant. I watering money. As you say,
when you say it, you got to say it quickly.
Otherwise it doesn't seem real, does it. But yeah, looking
forward to seeing what happens with keyw connections. There other
medals around today. One of your all time great swimmers,
four time Olympic gold medalist, nine time World Championship midleist,
including four golds there as well, ari An Titmas, has
(01:25):
announced her retirement. What's her legacy.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Yeah, it's just a fabulous swimmer and a really down
to worth human being obviously, but it's probably more important
but in terms of what she did at the Games
and taking on Katie Ladecki, the great American swimmer, some
of those battles at World Championship and Olympic Games level
were phenomenal and won't be forgotten soon. But yeah, she's
only in her mid twenties, but I guess she's after
(01:50):
Paris last year she decided, oh, you know what, I'll
have a bit of a break and see where I'm at.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
And then twelve months on.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
I think she's realized that there's more to life than
getting up at three thirty in the morning and going
looking at a black line the whole time.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
So at the bottom of a pool. So yeah, unreal legacy.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
She'll obviously transition into some kind of public speaking and
media role a lot to offer everything around Tipmos and
yeah it's a shame that she goes and mon't be
around for la, But no real shock.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I guess it's so funny, isn't she watched She twenty
five and she's done so much. I mean, that's the swimming,
natural swimming. Isn't it that they start so young, they
achieve so much, and then they've got a whole heap
of life left to do to do what they want with.
I'm not surprised she's decided to do something different.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Yeah, and it is so physically tactic and mentally as well,
just the grind. There's no quick way to becoming an
elite Olympic swimmer, especially over the distances that she was
swimming two hundred, four hundred, four hundred probably a specialty.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
That's a lot of work. So yeah, she's.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Decided that that's probably enough, thanks very much, and go
and do something else with my life.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
We're about a month away from the ashes getting underway.
The first test starts on the twenty first in November
across in Perth. Stuart Broad has stoked the flames by
saying that he thinks this is the worst Australian team
in about a decade and a half and imagine those
comments have gone down Phairy well over there.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Yeah, it's like you could see where he's coming from.
But I mean that's probably more a point at England
who haven't been able to win an ashes in that
period where they've been so yeah, it's that they haven't.
They've got near us on English soil, but on Australian Saul,
(03:37):
I've got nowhere near us in the last couple of occasions,
in particular what happened here four years ago. Look, it's
going to be an unreal series because it's really hard
to define exactly what's what.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Because England have got a great batting line up.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Their bowling stocks are good, but if they lose their
two quicks in Archer and Wood that it looks pretty exposed.
Whereas our bowling stocks were looking good before Pat complained
about his back. So we're still wedding on that Pat
come as our captain. Now batting lineup, we're still jocking around.
This week Marnus Lavashane scored another centur in Sheffield Shields,
so I reckon Marnus is definitely going to be in
that top six for Australia.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Don't know exactly what spot, so that's good.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
But Cameron Green has gone down with a side strain,
our big all rounder who you know from over there from.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
His center in New Zealand.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
So yeah, plenty of plenty of questions, plenty of talking points,
plenty of accusations to come before the whole thing starts
in about a month's time in Birth.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Absolutely, and speaking of getting started, the A League is underway,
the A League Men's competition. A couple of games last night,
Adelaide United beating Sydney EFC two one in the opening match.
I think who forked Talay former Wellington Phoenix coach of
course and Sydney f C coach for the last few seasons.
I think he was under pressure anyway. This won't help,
will it.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
No, No, under big pressure. And you can see Sydney's weird.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
They've got some kids coming through, They've probably got on
this scene pretty well. They've probably got the best academy
in Sydney in terms of playing stocks with this youngster's
coming through. But then you look at that starting line
up last night and not one that I don't think
there's many Academy graduates had an average starting age of
twenty seven and they still get beat.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
So I don't know exactly where they're at Sydney.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
They've given or for a one year contract exactly ringing endorsement,
is it? So yeah, his first month is filled with
a bit of pressure, I reckon and as you say,
last night doesn't help me. Brisbane got a good first
up win against MacArthur. I thought MacArthur were one of
the better sides in recruitment stakes in the off season.
(05:33):
But important for Britain. They're trying to reset as a
club full stop up there.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
And Aukland FC and the Wellington Phoenix both in action
later on tonight. Auckland f C against Melbourne victory the
Phoenix over in Perth. Auckland FC. I mean we spoke
a lot about them last year and their maiden season. Look,
second season syndrome is it a thing? And if it is,
how do you avoid falling into it?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I just think they've got they've got They've set their
structure really well straight.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Away in terms of recruitment, in terms of personnel, in
terms of connection to community. Look, nothing's the Garrant Tea
and Steph Kayak has got a job in his hands
to make sure that what you said there doesn't happen.
But you tell me, I see on paper no reason
to suggest that Auckland fall even once.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
But I've got them as first pass the post for
the season. But I don't it.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Maybe personnel, a few antim heroes might not be there
as and people who didn't get the attention pioneers as
last year.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
But I can't see too many reasons to think that
they're going to fall.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I think outside a goalkeeper they're stronger, actually, But losing
Alex Paulson, two time A League Goalkeeper of the Year,
that's the only question mark for me, and whether Oli
sale and or Michael vaud can fill that void. Other
than that, I think you know the players they've brought
in a potentially upgrades on what they had, so yeah,
like you, I expect them to begin and around the silverware.
I guess we won't find out. What we've learned about
(06:56):
the A League over twenty years is nothing is certain.
It's the most mental league gun around, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Yeah, you think you've got a handle and then someone
goes off and recruits the up with guys that you
look at their CV and you go, oh, you know,
they haven't really done the business in their career and
they come out here and they just love the sun
on their back or something.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I mean, look at look at those guys in Adelaide.
There were people in Adelaide before last night. I was thinking, no,
now the club, where's are going? Blah blah blah blah blah.
But I mean you see them play like that, You've
got probably good one back here.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
They'll be strong. I think the Reds always great.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Chatting Australian Sport with you, Adam thinks indeed we'll catch
up again next week.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
She is Finney, have we go one?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
They have a good one too, mate. Adam Peacock are
Australian corresponding.
