Speaker 1 (00:01):
Sign's a tall sport with Adrian Barrage. Hi. Since I've
been with you guys, I've learned so much about everything,
but mostly music. It's amazing. It's incredible, incredible encyclopedias.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
They're still have encyclopedias, Funk and Waggles, the World Book.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
There's no one selling them door to door anymore. Back
they're on marketplace trying to get rhythm for free.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
I loved an encyclopedia, the whole physical sort of looking
something out the heavy leather bound book like Atlas's.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Where've Atlas is gone? They're all online, aren't the street
street books? You know? I used to kill those books. Ud, Yeah,
bloody technology. That's beautiful outside a big game tonight too,
obviously in the footy port Adelaide hosting Hawthorne for a
place in the preliminary final. The loser goes out, so

(01:00):
who wins.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
I've always had a problem with having the semi final,
which surely should come before the grand final, and then
the preliminary final.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
You're so right going to work that out. It means
four normally, doesn't it, you know, but it's been odd.
Then they're playing four next week as well, say very strange. No, well,
I've got a stat here that shows that probably they won't,
because no team this century has lost a qualifying final
by more than fifty points. So like last weekend's game
when Port Adelaide got built by adiop points, no one's

(01:30):
lost that game and then lost the next weekend in
the semifinals. So Port the twelfth team to lose a
qualifying final by more than fifty points this century, and
the other eleven teams that have done that they won
the game the next week because basically they also got
very upset about the way they performed, and they have

(01:50):
the home final, which is what Port Adelaide's got, and
so they should. They should. It's almost an insurmountable stat.
It's one of those stats where if Hawthorne the odds
that means they are a special special history makers, then
it would be history makers. You're right, and Jack Ginevan
hasn't helped him. Lease, he's that young wild boy from Hawthorne,

(02:11):
Guinea Ginny they call him. He basically tweeted to his
friend Brodie Grunder, your place for Sidney Swan's and they're
in the preliminary finally tweeted and he said, mate, i'll
see you in two weeks, which sort of disregarded Port Adelaide.
In other words, we'll just speak Port and we'll see
in two weeks. And so what they do in footy

(02:31):
clubs like that is called ammunition. Look at this ammunition.
This guy's treating us with no respect, no respect to
be on the inside the lockers, you know. Printed, We've
got to get him, and so Charlie Dixon, they're big
Port Adelaide, full fortnight out. He'll try to run through
Genevan tonight and then someone will target Zach Butter's ribs.
I'm embarrassed least, but this is what happens if you've

(02:52):
got sore ribs. The coach goes test him out. Oh,
I know, it's test him out.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
I don't like.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
It's a bit like the code red in few Few
good men. I'm calling it code red Cutters code red
otherwise called cod dermit doing it since the days of Yeah,
I didn't think it happened anymore, but apparently it does. Thugs.

(03:19):
And then there's the coach lease. So the coach has
coached more games in vfl AFL history than anyone without
reaching a Grand Final.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
And this is the one they wanted West Coast.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yeah, that's good, that's a good point. Who question is
it makes a lot of sense while we're talking to
him right unguarded, if he loses, he almost certainly will
be gone, and but he doesn't seem to think so.
And of course, what else is he going to say

(03:54):
when the media, you know, gets into him going are
you going to get sacked when you lose? Ken? He's
what can you ever say?

Speaker 4 (04:00):
I'm not I'm not going to be a smart ass
here in any way, shape or form. But I'm contracted.
That's what the board have told me all the way through.
They've shown me great support the entire journey. I trust
it that'll be to always be the same bar.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
When a sports journal asks a question like that, what
is it you're expecting him to say?

Speaker 1 (04:20):
I know, you're kind of that's very true. Sometimes we're
after your own audio, so you get your voice on
there saying do you think you'll be sacked? And that
sort of creates the headline. But he was a bit
naive there saying that I've got a contract. As we know,
that doesn't mean anything, does it. No, just no contracts nowadays.
I don't know how it works in your industry, But

(04:41):
did it ever mean anything? They want you to go
to gawn Wornsky, but it hasn't the world changed? Because
what about the contract for mac Andrew at the Gold Coast?
Say no, I couldn't believe it. You've heard about this
least no twelve million dollars, especially your talent. What are
they going to play everyone for nine years? All the
salary caps are all expanding, So you know what I've

(05:05):
worked out. When Harley Reed does his deal, I reckon
he could be the first twenty million dollar player. Twenty
million dollar man, I'm not joking. This will probably be
on the news, so I say probably. I believe that
Harley Reed could be the first twenty million dollar player
for a ten year contract based on what Mac Andrew
is getting up at the Gold Coast and baby, yeah

(05:27):
I know. And Harley's even younger. So if you see
him out you want to buy him a drink? And
the other game leads Tomorrow night, Saturday Night by you Yeah,
I reckon, Yeah, he's got the money. Saturday Night the
Giants and the Lions in Sydney. Surely the Orange Tsunami
gets it done, just like they did on ANZAC day
they thumped the lines. I think the Giants will get

(05:48):
through this. Five West does he's in that team. It's
buddy fantastic. And just to round out this segment, the
Waffle Final is on this Sunday. It's still Blue Oval Basandine,
and I'm sending out call for calm. Oh really, for calm.
You think we're going to be I think there will
be six to ten thousand people there and most of

(06:08):
them wearing black and white, and all of them pretty
fired up about how their team's performing and trying to
get some revenge on Peel for what happened in the
last game. And my mate Brady Gray, who's the world's
nicest blake. It's like an Andrew Gaff situation. He's been
sort of targeted because something untoward happened, but really wasn't
his fault. And if they come for him, I'm just saying,

(06:29):
canbar take it easy? Responsible sittings up there like Scotti
Cummings and that just taken trol and say, boys, settle down,
settle down, don't because I believe it's extra security. Oh really,
And there might even be a secret entrance for the
pure players. They may go in a secret entrance a
secret interest about black and white in the Grand finaleh

(06:49):
does polarized people, that's no doubt. But I'm thinking that.
I'm thinking the Swinis will get up there. So the
Grand Final Sunday week will be East Perth versus Swan
Districts and will be thirty thousand and optice. How good
will that be for the local comp I think Peter
are going to be these person in the Grand Final
Bear clas he doesn't give it, Continental does because West

(07:11):
personal in it checked out, That's not it. I'm only half.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Working from those cardies.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Actually, the Mighty Cardos, garlic munches, the falcons.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
You let us say garlic munches anymore? Probably why I
let you say I can't believe it's names and that
at one stage, Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
You're quoting history, the incredible legacy of all those Italian superstars.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
And is that what it's about? Was? Oh yeah, around
the w A cricket launch was on yesterday morning. Now
Way is chasing the quadruple double like that team is
just unbelievable. They've won three Shielders Shields in a row,
three marsh Cups, a couple of Scorches, titles, one day,

(07:57):
big bash titles. They've built just an empire there and
Sam Whiteman's a new red Ball captain. He's been handed
the keys to the Ferrari. Mitchie Marsh just concentrating on
national things. They've got the whack of redevelopment going on
down just down the road here. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, you're
going to be spectacle. It is going to be a
cool lease.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
So glad it's getting redeveloped. And a water slide, yeah,
waterslide into the you need that at the cricket. Yeah,
I want me to get some pool passes. Saw that
out as you guys go. Would you throw the boarders
on Wacker to the water slide.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Can you be in the pool and watch a cricket
like they do in Brisbane, because that'll be cool.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
They never get out together the toilet that's what worries me.
But it'll be a sensational precinct round here. Whacker Pool,
water slides, new school, new school just there. Yeah as
well out the window Gloucester Park next sort out that
bridge topped us. Yeah, this is this Yeah, this is
going to be the capital off. We'll get a new
boiler through soon. Works at ninety six the whole region

(08:53):
will just be perfect. Barre. I think the boss is
listening right there anyway. So then they've brought in a
new CEO as well. He's an Englishman for John Stevenson.
I think he got the sunburn as soon as he
got off the plane. Guys, what el is this twenty
four degrees in?

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Well, he's replacing Christine Christine, Yeah, yeah, and this is
a replacement.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah. He's just a right Englishman and English. Yeah, it's
first time ever they've had a palm and it wasn't
lost on him as to the history as being made.
He's what he had to say. That's a really good question.
I'm surprised I haven't been challenged.

Speaker 5 (09:25):
I think I'm only the first POM to be in
charge of w A cricket. For some that might be
a bit of a challenge. I might get sledged for that,
but for me, it's so exciting. I can't believe I'm
in that disposition. Actually, it was a really good process,
a very red bust process for the board to select me.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
I'm really proud to be in this position. And he
speaks beautiful. Reached out that.

Speaker 5 (09:51):
I was sitting on the country home and it was
on seat dot com. So I saw the job advertised,
I applied and went through the process.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
Said he's sitting on his couch and he got the gig.
Did he played one test? One test? Yeah, he got
sledged by some of the blokes that were in the
room yesterday. Did brilliant Anyway, the whackers flying. The other
team that's flying is the a f l W Eagles team.
They went to Melbourne. They beat the Bulldogs. They've won

(10:22):
two games now. They've hardly won a game in the
last couple of years. They have won two out of three.
Daisy peers happy days. As we keep saying, she's spreading
her magic Daisy dust Ella. There's this girl, Ella Roberts
from Bussington, absolute newste superstar of the comp and they've
recruited this girl Jess Hosking, formerly of Richmond, and she's

(10:43):
just given him so much more grunt and steal. She's
the girl that famously had on her you know, her
strapping on her shoulder. She wrote kill b I T
C H E s L. Can you say that we'll
lovely and that she had to please explain from the
afl W and they she said, well that's what I'm

(11:05):
out there to do so she's a tough thing.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
No, you're out there to play football. Yeah, well yeah,
to kill anyone. Yeah, it kills probably not the right word.
You also want to wrap up, rap up? You want
to beat the Bulldogs to because I've had to kick
four goals this year.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah, they're the bottom team. And so the Docors women's
team plays next. Now, as I got the door, I
just wanted to say I've been thinking, I've been reflecting
about the Olympics. They're all over right. My final word
as we head in towards Brisbane twenty thirty two, US
hosting Olympic Games, I think this is actually a good
idea because we can do whatever we like. I'm being serious. Well,

(11:39):
how about we put an average person in every competition?
Oh okay, so we actually know how good these people are.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
So like Ray Gunner gus the rape, Well yeah call
ray gun effect.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yeah. Well maybe that's what she was. She was the
early throes of this. So in the eight lanes normally
in these sprint one hundred meter fine, I can see
cleezeygun stupid idea the ninth lane kind of his you
can see you can see how far they lose one
hundred in the two hundred, you know, the javelin to
shot meters, just to see how good these people really are.

(12:14):
I know, but you know what I mean? How much
the high jump? How funny with the high jumpy? You
know the guy bonking his head on the bar and
had a meet like five you put it in rhyming.
Can I make a submission? What about the balance? Imagine
an average person on the balance. Can you send that
off to Sebastian co mates? What do you do athletics?

(12:37):
So you got wedated on that barrel? I love you guys,
really want to see you. See you with the hundred
heat report from my friends. That would be great.
