Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's talk sport with Adrian Barrant.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
When you've got to get working, 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 worklobber dot com,
dot at you. Good morning, Barra morning. You can't find
an excuse all morning to talk about anything, but.

Speaker 4 (00:18):
Just just talk about Oscar.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Actually, I have a question, yes at a football question.
This year? Have the Western Bulldogs reverted to being foots
gray just.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
For one game?

Speaker 5 (00:31):
One game because it was their one hundredth years celebration
and that's why Rory Lobb Didy's hair blue.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
But I believe it's just for this weekend. It was
just for this weekend.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Well, they might want to tell the AFL app because
it says foots Gray in every single game.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Or maybe they are. I know, I had a look at.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
The Wikipedia page and it said they're now they're now
foots Gray Bulldogs trading as the Western Bulldogs. Interesting research
for the entire entire season.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
If not, we'll find out for good.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
It might be something to do with the AFL software
that it just changes every game.

Speaker 5 (01:09):
I'm sure in Round one they weren't they were the
Western Bulldogs and because we made a big song and
dance about them becoming footscrade this weekend and that's why
Rory loved because one hundred year celebration, Rory lob died here.
Maybe it's their first home game, not that they have
home grounds anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Yeah, anyway to great yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:29):
Right, and they almost won too, so that was It's
such a strange situation down there with who's the young
fella who walked out on him? He's the big center
half forward. He's having a few drums off the field
and he's got a funny name, hyphenated name.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
Oh yeah, that's it.

Speaker 5 (01:49):
Yeah, jeep, it's Monday morning. Yes, so let's get back
to the Eagles in the dock of our space. A
little approof, a bit of a chop out, better efforts,
but still no cigar, Still no wins the Dockers. It's
a stranger and they've now lost six straight, six straight games,
and you know some people are picked picking them to

(02:09):
win the premiership.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
You don't want to look at it collectively like that.
You want to have a fresh slate. So it's two two.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Games, two games, no win. But yeah, that's a bit
rough to you know.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
And like you said, least earlier, at least someone's going
to win this weekend.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
I bet you there's going to be a draw.

Speaker 5 (02:34):
We're tipping it, but a no win situation for Free
are really like everyone will expect them to win because
you know, the Eggs are really struggling and very very
young side and rebuilding and if they don't win, well
what could happen could be real a lot of paying
for the coach. Ironically, it's seventeenth versus eighteenth at least,

(02:56):
so it's the bottom of the table clash that's never
happened before.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
I don't think I was.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
I think even the demolition derby of two thousand when
they both goes and shys and housing.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah, it was like twelve versus for It was really nice.
They started a punch on because that's.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
What we calls and housen in those days.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
We were completely bottom.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Being twelve or fourteen was bad enough.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
That's it with lowered down stairs and tell me that's
not that bad.

Speaker 5 (03:20):
It was someone's going to win at least, yeah, so
Free are losing to the Swan's. It was all about Cox,
Dean Cox. Great to see how Pumpty was after the game,
Chad Warner running up and hugging in makes me think
Chad Warner come on a couple of years. He posted
something this morning on social media about how Pumpy was
for Dean Cox and then then.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Doctor Brennan Cox. How did you feel that last contact.

Speaker 5 (03:45):
With he got pushed out of the way Marty and
Mardy cooked mate Cox. He I feel for him because
he's going to have to see that replay three million
times and Mary kicking the winning goal and then lease,
you won't believe it. The ball goes down the other end.
And if there was two seconds more, Joe Amos would
have been paid to mark and would have been kicking
for goal after the siren to win the match, maybe

(04:09):
even one second.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
One second, Yeah, it could have never would have been
kicking after the siren exactly so.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
And what's happened to wharf the time? When is Wharfi
time kicking?

Speaker 4 (04:23):
I don't actually know. Isn't it like ten minutes to
go or something? I'm not sure wharf time up.

Speaker 5 (04:27):
On the screen they put wharf he time, but I
think I think they have to be. It is like
Hama time.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
Cameton get like a wharf Our last effort.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
I reckon, they've got to bring really so spit and
swear and go on straight maybe.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Yeah, yeah, get the unions involved that drinking. Look, there's
but I reckon. Wharfy time needs to be brought back
to the last two minutes. Now, whatever happened, it must be.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
If they're behind and they play wharf he time to
lift the boys to drive them home.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
But when they're in front, they were in front.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
They didn't play warfing times a few times?

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah, how did that go?

Speaker 4 (05:06):
We didn't win?

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Was it the right sort of song? One of the
beginning Hell's bells? That sounds great.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
I'm not sure you reckon, Come on, you're a music expert.
Would you be advising to change that song?

Speaker 4 (05:21):
I wouldn't have probably gone a cold player. I'd like
to hear some heavy rock. They played Queen at the start.
You have the guy up on the on the roof
cold play song?

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Do they play?

Speaker 4 (05:29):
Oh? I can't remember how.

Speaker 5 (05:31):
That's as close to criticism as you'll get from the
great Man on the Dockers songs.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, exactly, Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
As for the Eagles, as sus You was saying, what
a dopamine hit for Eagles?

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Fans.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
Finally first you know, first, well, they let it all
three chains changes against the reigning champs, so that was huge.
Baker in the middle was a good move. Lifted Harley
and Tim Kelly William's back in the ruck. Tyrell duwa
did you see him?

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Are we describing the Eagles being beaten and on the
bottom as a dopamine hit?

Speaker 5 (06:07):
Well, the first three quarters of the game better because
they were leading against the champs.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
That was used.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
The word brave Marrow gallant, gallant, the.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Old score, that's old world score.

Speaker 5 (06:21):
Are Tyrel du two goals early, he ran out of steam.
Harley Reid will be under the microscope sort of need
not need kneeled kneeled on zorko y, which they made
find him for. Then he gave the bird allegedly to
the crowd. Possible another fine, or maybe he was just saying, hey,

(06:41):
I'm the number one draft pick, you.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Know, using the wrong finger probably.

Speaker 5 (06:46):
In that case waving, but I reckon it's you know
that meme leave Brittany alone?

Speaker 4 (06:51):
Yeah, yeah, you seeing that one Brittany alone, another one will.

Speaker 5 (06:55):
Leave Harley alone. We need to leave Harley alone. Honestly,
what do you expect he's an ex in sight of
a boy. He's just an excitable.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Boy and he's good shaved his head. He's not that fit.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
His body can't do exactly what he wants at the moment,
but he'll be he'll be fine. And you know the
guys ran down from the crowd and was booing him.
This guy was booing him relentless. Packet of tissues apparent
and then he ran down to the boundary with it,
with a to the fence with a packet of tissues
and going, yeah, I have a cry.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
You know, it is stupid, isn't it.

Speaker 5 (07:28):
Least those people would booz Sanda at Christmas, Honestly unbelievab.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
Barrel was going on with Reuben Jimbi in the ruck
and Mackenney's just grabbing the ball and running away with everyone.

Speaker 5 (07:39):
Seven foot tall ruckman had cramp because it was they
played it at mid days the dumber. You know, why
would you play a game in Brisbane at midday? That's
like being in Bali, you know what I mean. Don't
do anything at midday in Balle except blow around the pool.
So anyway, I reckon leave Harley alone. But this is
what Eagles coach Andrew mcmult mcwalters said about Harley's day.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
So I think, yeah, Harley was part of the midfield.
I got beaten last week and I thought his response
today he played the right way. Halle's still learning the game.
He's still learning how to be the best football he
can be and the best teammate he can be, and
we're going to really support him and work hard in
that space with him. Look, we've got a really strong
plan with Harley. We're working closely with him. He understands

(08:21):
the people who he needs to listen to, and he's
got a good support base around him. So yeah, he's
going to go. We try to bash the theater out
of this game sometimes, don't we. Just you know, he's
just having a bit of fun sometimes that's good for
the game.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
I think it's getting well remunerated for someone who's still
learning the game.

Speaker 5 (08:41):
You're a theater goer, though. We do take the theater
out of football a bit sometimes. If Harley's just playing
to the crowd, yeah, you happy with that?

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Oh, I've got no problem with anything Harley Reid did
on the weekend. Really, I'm not bothered either way.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
Wasn't that bad over the top the personality Jacko Jackson kind.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Of yeah exactly.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
I mean that's nothing. And the guy with the tissues,
that's kind of funny. I mean, I don't care, but
don't kneel on someone.

Speaker 5 (09:09):
No, we'll see what finds he cops today. I'll quickly
bash out through the other games. Melbourne lost to North
Melbourne and then their coach came out and said that
Max Goran was struggling with some personal issues. Thanks a lot, coach,
thanks for highlighting that. You know, I know that it
might be an excuse, but jeep, is that tell everyone?

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Nice to see.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
Andrew Gaff present Jack Darling as a stranded game jumper
and then carried him off.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
He went out into the ground and carry carry Jack off.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
After the game over his shoulder or something not easy
to pick up. It's a big man. It was another
fella touched by North Melbourne.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, really good since kor caused a big upset they beat.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
Yeah, what's going on?

Speaker 5 (09:49):
Weird start for this seasons. The boss and I'm not
even sure who's leading the comp now. As you know,
the ladder is now so corrupted. But everything that's happened
in the opening round the cyclone, it's being postponed. So
some teams have played three matches. Least one team has
played one match, the Suns, so it wone't actually even out.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
But I said, it's not until at least round five
when you sort of start, because they're still buyers every week.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah. Absolutely. I think it's a.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Stupid, muddled way to start a season of football.

Speaker 5 (10:21):
So the latter actually won't be you know, recognizable until finals.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
Really yeah, so I want to be happy, but it
just sitting at the top there with three.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yeah, well they have had three wins so they probably
would still be on top.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
It takes all the fun out of the tipping and
all of that for the vicarious you know fan playing along.
I think it's stupid. I don't know what they're doing.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Come on, give us your best. Leave Britney alone. Least,
come on, leave Brittany alone. You've seen that girl do that.
Britney alone. So we're saying today Valley alone. Another man
very pumped up is Oscar Piastri. He should have won Melbourne.
He should have won there.

Speaker 5 (10:59):
And so after that heartbreaking went out, you know what,
I'm going to get Pole and I'm going to win
the Chinese Grand Prix.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
And he did that.

Speaker 5 (11:06):
He did exactly that beat Lando his mate, his teammate
if he starts in pole his ladder race, and beat
him if he starts behind him.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
They say, just pull back a bet that Lando goes.
Max's car is not very good.

Speaker 5 (11:18):
So he could win the actual championship Oscar Piastri, which
and Asi has never done, of course.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
And then he revealed this was so weird.

Speaker 5 (11:26):
It was being interviewed and he kind of he revealed
that he was basically part Chinese.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
I ever listened, ever listened.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
The sixth one sixteenth heritage wasn't a joke. That what
that's real? Wow, So they're all they're all here for
me me one.

Speaker 5 (11:45):
Sixteenth really, and he worked out one sixteenth because his
great great grandfather was Chinese, so he said that makes
him one sixteenth Chinese and the Chinese Grand Prix a
one sixteenth home race.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
That's lovely, Yeah, very good tactics.

Speaker 5 (12:01):
Sorry, eight billion people or whatever. So two brilliant gestures
overnight too or on the weekend. In basketball, I love
when sportsmanship comes to the foe or sports personship or
have you just great stuff happening, people doing great stuff.
So the Minnesota to Timberwolves forward Joe Ingles, Right, he
plays for them, He's never he hasn't started a game

(12:24):
for in over three years, right, so he hasn't started
out on the ground, out on the field, in the
court in three years. And then his coach, Chris Finch
found out that his son, his autistic son, Jacob, was
coming to the game and was sitting in the crowd
and never seen him play basically, and so he started him.
He put him out there. Joe didn't score at all,

(12:45):
or in the.

Speaker 4 (12:47):
Veteran it's getting on.

Speaker 5 (12:48):
Yeah, yeah, and he didn't score in the game as well.
They still they still won. But how how good is
the coach? And this is how they describe what happened
Joe his.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
Family and telling what went into that decision tonight.

Speaker 6 (13:00):
Well yeah, uh just uh.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, it's emotional.

Speaker 6 (13:07):
You know, sometimes you gotta do the human thing. And uh,
we always talk about all these minutes matter, and those
minutes matter for another reason. But someone put it in
my head today and has an idea to make sure that.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Joke and see the floor.

Speaker 6 (13:25):
And I figured, if we're gonna do it, let's do
it to stop. So guys were behind it, and I
think it gave us the just the right the right
boosts that we needed and change of energy. So it's
not often that you get to do those types of things,
but we're really happy that we could.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Oh I love that mental human thing.

Speaker 5 (13:44):
Yes we always lose saw it of that sometimes and
then has this in the NBO Grand Funal Disorders. So
I Melbourne, you know ied we're playing Illawarra. Illawarra ended
up winning. It was a five game series and they
cold up the m they pay for the series in
the funal series and it was Matthew dellavan Dova. He
was on the losing team and he did buger or

(14:04):
in the last fifth in the fifth game, so they
gave him the award and he goes no, no, no no.
There was booze and everything when he got announced and
he said no, no, no, no, no, that wasn't the best.
And he called up the bloke from Illauara who was
the star in the final game and gave him the trophy.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
What's going on? He saying, on I'm not taking it now.
He's shaking his head sort of who was going to
hold the trophy things?

Speaker 3 (14:28):
So Greneth Paltrow should have done that with Kate, Shakespeare
in Love.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
Were a few.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
A couple of crying. That's awesome. Didn't Who was it?

Speaker 4 (14:40):
Beverage did it in the Grand Final? Didn't he?

Speaker 5 (14:42):
Yeah, yeah, gave his gave Bulldogs.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Gave his medal over to the bloke was at your club.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
He's not anymore, Murphy. Captain Murphy gave it back to
him the following week. Murphy, Yeah, Bob Murphy gave it
back to him the fow week.

Speaker 5 (14:54):
You see, Bob Murphy was sitting in a chair and
narrating the start of the game Dogs for the hundredth games.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Was sitting there some sort.

Speaker 5 (15:00):
Of you know, great narrator, and they brought out all
their legends and I was.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
I didn't but I love Bob.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
You know he's left free. He's got a radio job now,
so good on him, Bob Murphy. He's going back to Melbourne.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
