Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
When's talk sport with the Adrian Barrage.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
When you've got to get work here, you've got to
get into work blubber.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
Their eight trade stores are everywhere, so when you need it,
you can get it or check out work clubber dot com.

Speaker 4 (00:12):
Dot at you.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Tomorrow and I water a big night for the Purple Army. Yeah,
it's getting exciting, isn't it? The foot he's really heading up.
Last night, of course Carlton got pumped by Brisbane, heaping
more pressure on Michael Voss. But tomorrow night, what would
you call it? I'm calling it a mini minifinal, virtual
mini final because the Hawks and the Dockers they're both
in the chump up.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
For the top eight.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
See the top eight is tight, oh verdictot top nine
toy tight like a toy guy. So if they beat
the Hawks, they'll draw a level with them. Alex Pierce,
I watched him at training yesterday and he just pulled
up sore. He just suddenly got sore in his shin,
in his hot spot. So he's not playing the captain.

(00:54):
Neil Erasmus got dropped. We were told that Hayden Young,
who was in here on Wednesday, telling us that he
wanted to play this weekend. Well, the coach said, no,
you're not. You're playing next week against Collingwood.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
At the MCG.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
He trained the house down, so he was making every
post winner, but the coach just ignored him and said no,
he wait another week. Waited another week. So sometimes you
do that with Hammis. So Sam Switzkowski comes back, Oscar McDonald.
They brought in that tag of the Hawks, Finn McGinnis
that we thought they would do. We mentioned it with Janie.
What happens, You're going to sort of try to beat
up on him. He'll be the guy he'll put up.

(01:28):
What Justin Longman will do is put his name on
the board Finn McGinnis, and I'll circle it in red
and guard this guy too.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Miss saying that's his number.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Bump him, take energy out of his body, don't let
him get to Caleb. Whatever he can do to put
him off his game and make him not want to
be the tagger today. So that'll happen. But the press
conference was marked by sort of Justin Longmre basically not
frustrated but just had enough of AFL expert David King
who's been launching into him. I mean King if you're listening,

(02:01):
I don't reckon you'd do this to Rosslyn. I've never
heard you have a crack at ross line like this.
But yet he'd been saying that, Okay, j Lo's the
coach most under pressure to keep his job right, so
he's a game here we go.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
To be honest, I've had to doe. If every time
someone asked me what I've done to David King, it'd
be a rich man and probably be in the Bahamas
guts up, rather than doing his job. So I don't
think David's put together a game plan, put together a list,
put together a culture. So it's just an opinion, and
that's what I take it for.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Take it as I'm just picturing jail feed up in
the Bahamas.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, guts up.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
If I see a T shirt on Saturday night at
off just with guts up in the Bahamas, and I'll
give you twenty bucks.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Let's say he's got the guts to wear it loud.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Brass, somebody will be doing it for sure. So it
was a beautiful line by But yeah, I can see
where he's coming from. You're just it's tired of getting abused,
and it's he wouldn't do it to these other coaches.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Now let's talk about though.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
That sparked interest from former Eagles coach Adam Simpson, premiership coach.
We all loved him. He weighed in on the abuse
at the moment to a lot of senior coaches and
in particular Michael Voss because there's been there was a
death It was called a death threat.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Now I've checked it out.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
What actually happened was there was a bloke at the MCG,
a middle aged fella, at the end of the Collingwood
Carlton game. He sent a text message to the mcg's
anti social behavior hotline, so to have a hot line
displayed around the ground, we can send in notes off
someone's playing up and you want some help. And he's
sent in and he said, I'd like to report twenty
three missing persons and preemptively report the murder of Michael Voss.

(03:38):
And now he's been barred from the footy for five
years for doing that, so he's probably trying to be funny,
but they can't.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Stand for it.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Totally unacceptable.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
But then that sparked Adam Simpson talking about you know,
he's crossed the line, and then he revealed when at
West Coast and they've got the best fans in the world.
I reckon never listen to what happened in West Coast
through Adam Simpson.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
That g yeah, yeah, we've probably started checking on about
four years ago the old anthrax check just in case
it wasn't.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
It was pretty red.

Speaker 5 (04:04):
So the mail I got from the supporters or whatever
it was, it was pre opened.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
Oh that's a chilling reminder of just how intense and
toxic pressure can become anthrax.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Incredible and maybe I don't know if that was tongue
in cheek or not. Anyway, So West Coast of Russian
sorry to move on quickly, off anthrax, but back to
footy West Coast obviously.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Playing Port Adelaide.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
In Adelaide on Sunday, I've made a statement again, Minnie
mc walter's made a statement. He's dropped thirty year old
Tim Kelly. Yeah that was a surprising move. Yeah, who
incidentally has just signed a new two year deal. So
it's a bit of a strange one. But hopefully the
boys get the message and they lift. I'm worried about
Collingwood day, I'm really worried about but the poor buggers

(04:47):
they have had how's this?

Speaker 1 (04:48):
How bad is this?

Speaker 2 (04:49):
They have had to border plane for tonight's game against
the Suns on the Gold Coast for the first time
in sixty seven days, sixty those poor guys, our thoughts
in pre with them? Can you imagine they have to
go away from home for two whole nights.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
I wonder if I remembered how to pack a seakat
sixty seven.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
First time they've left Melbourne in two months? You're laughing,
you guys mate? How's this story? Just bumping around?

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Now? Looks like the AFL wants.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Gout Gout, Goutgout to perform at this year's Grand Final.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Gouk out at the Grand Final?

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Now what would he forget about the food fighters or
Katy Perry?

Speaker 1 (05:26):
But we wouldn't be singing obviously. What would he be doing?
You think? What's his special hourity? Printing? Sprinting?

Speaker 2 (05:32):
So taking on the eighteen fastest men in the aflow
So every club nominates the fastest spoke and Goutgout runs
against them at the AFL Grand Final over one hundred meters.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Let's say you kick off a Grand Final.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
He'd have to come off a handicap or something because
he'd pump them. You think he's so quick, you know,
runs ten flats, but there's some quick players going as well.
State of Origin stat of Orange series won by Queensland
at the Queensland As.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
I'll tell you what. They just love playing for this state.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
It's quite remarkable.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
I just went bang, lost the first one, won the
next two.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
And the story of the match, and it was very poignant,
was the captain of Queensland is cam Munster and his
dad passed away just days before the decider, and he
decided to play and he led magnificently. And this is
the coach, Billy Slater, who's now has become like a
folk here, the coach of Queensland. This is what he

(06:29):
said about cam Munster after the game, and.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
We're going to talk about it.

Speaker 6 (06:33):
But like the blake to my left, that's as courageous
and brave as I've ever seen. I lost my dad
in January. I know what it's like. I know how
it feels. Our dads are our heroes. I don't know
how he did it, but you know, within ten minutes
of sitting with him in his room on Sunday morning,

(06:53):
and he looked at me and he said, Bill I'm playing,
and I know he wanted to. I know his dad
would have wanted him to. And boy, that's one proud
dad sitting up there watching his boy tonight.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
You just can't up at ad my camera monster turning
up playing that game after losing his dad. I mean
that takes strength.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
I was just choking up listening to that. So well
done to Queensland in Wimbledon overnight. I'm looking forward to
reading this tonight on the news. So in the women's Games,
Amanda A Nissimova defeated Arena Sabelenka six four four sixty
sixty four an eager swan Tech swantech not it looks

(07:31):
like swire Tech, but the polls that they have got
different pronunciations. It's swantech. She breathe past Belinda Bencic six
to six love. So the women's final is Amanda A
Nissimova got another crack against eager swan Tech and he
can catch that on Saturday. Watched the news tonight too

(07:52):
to see Sabolenka. She blows up de luxe at Amanda
because Amanda started celebrating a winner before the point was over,
so it looked like a winner and you're supposed to
wait until they actually lose the point, and she started celebrating,
and old Saberlenka none too happy with the way that
Amanda was conducting herself.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
So check that out and finally, go the Fever.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
The Fever are flying.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
They're our team, Catch the Fever.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
