Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's talk sport with the adri of barrage.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
When you've got to get work here, you've got to
get into work blubber. There eight trade stores are everywhere,
so when you need it, you can get it or
check out work clobber dot com dot a't you hey.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Hey, Lisa, I loved your piece. I went to the
Eagles launch yesterday, the season launch, but I loved your
peace on the Eagles song he did the other day.
Oh yeah, original that people, that's what they were most
interested in that the song was changing, Yeah, and going
getting going back to the original yea.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Even at the event.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yeah, well, and it's it's not the original original, isn't
it When when I started it was four years. They
took that's the best of us, you know that they
were given the vixa slap. That's right, they took that
bit out less. Now it's just where the Eagles. But
that was that's the thing that motivates people, so any
ain't that. It was a talking point. Very high ratings
(00:56):
for the news and all that sort of stuff when
you talk about that sort of thing and radio. So
I went to the season launched yesterday very encouraged by
what I saw it dawned on me that West Coast
are actually entering a new era. The club's virtually changed overnight.
I think they've got had a forty turnover of staff
and players, so there was new faces every night players.
(01:19):
But yeah, coach, yeah it's a real it's a new
club chairperson under under Don Pike. And yeah, new chir
person Elizabeth Gaines. She gave a great speech. A really
unique event too, because what they did was they got
this will sounds silly at least, but they got rid
of the normal circular tables. You know the circular tables
(01:40):
when you go to those events. Yeah, and they brought
in bench like long rectangular tables. So it's had a
bit of a Octoberfest feel, I suppose in a good way,
medieval wedding vibe.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Did you get the signs out mate, a church picnic.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
There was no style, direct seven am busy, no waitresses
holding four steins each of those massive fourarms. We have
all been to its octobert incredible, mate. You never get
(02:19):
a hangovers? You did no hangovers. Maybe it's because you're
on holidays, or is it because they doesn't put anything
in the beer.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
It's all naturally any problem with Oktoberfest, I just don't
know where to look.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
We digress, we do, so I thought that was good.
So it's like twenty people on the table, so you
actually got to interact with a lot more people. So
clever ploy deliberate ployer by the club my assessment. The
most powerful moment was, and this will be close to
our hearts, was Zach and Ronnie main wearing were their
(02:50):
so Chris's son and his wife. And then Zach was
presenting the number three jumper, so Mainie's old jumper to
the big star recruit, Liam Baker, and you know, it's
just it was beautiful to see instead of you know,
embracing Liam Baker into the club and Zach representing us
so good as he's going so well he plays for
(03:11):
Claremont now he's actually a very very good player in
the Waffle and I think Claim might win the league
this year. Then Adam Selwer was there who needed to
and people were getting around him and sort of, you know,
the support for him after losing his brother recently as well,
premiership player at the club. So there was some poignant moments.
And then the coach got up Mini they call him Mini.
(03:33):
Andrew mclwalter, and he was really inspirational. One of the
ex players, a Premiership player, actually said that he was
ready to run through a brick wall after he heard
McWalter speak. Oh okay, so I think they've found a
very good coach here. And did you run through a
brick wall? Yeah? Actually there wasn't many brick walls in
the room, but you know, he just fired him up.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Can that not be Oscar Ellen or Elliot? You know,
because I'll get injured brick wall?
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah, I saw a YOEI he was so peed off
that he's not playing. But you've got some Andrew McWalter
there for us, my friend, a new coach. So this
is the new coach, Mini mecwalter.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
We have to embrace the fact that we're not going
to be perfect. We're going to make lots of mistakes
and that's okay. As long as we've got the desire
to improve and to quote the late Kobe Bryant, we
can always be average and do what normal, what's normal,
But we're not here to be normal.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I'm not there to be normal. Okay, ready, I'm ready
to go, You're ready to go. I'm not ready to
go for a brick wall.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Yeah, I'll do that in purple.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
And then Oscar Allen got up the co captain and
made a great speech about the new game plan. So
they're going to play tough, they're going to play fast,
they're going to be dynamic. It's going to be bloody
hard to execute, but we're going to do it for
our fans. We're going to make our fans proud. It's
turnover foot. He create turnovers, Work as fast as possible
to create turnovers, then play the game in there. In
our front half, it was really good. They got twenty
(04:56):
two players under twenty one. They're going to make a
lot of mistakes into that and it's but it's all good.
We're on the right path. We're in the right direction.
But then he said something funny because we're all wondering
about his future of the class and he's contracting that,
and then he said this, and I thought he was
going to go there and then announce that he was staying,
but he said something else.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Everyone I meet, whether they're friends or strangers, has one
question for me.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
What can we expect this year? And my answer is
simple progress. There you go going the other direction.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
He's going to go am I sut down, Yes, I am. Yeah,
that's later.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
We got the flying Eagle.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
That's coming later. So tonight the foot is on tonight.
Do they have the Eagle at the season launch Eddie? Yeah,
he wants around. They got rid of that blow up
thing and they run through the banner that people love
the banner and that's back as well. So we've gone
back to our roots and footy starts tonight. They were
(06:01):
supposed to be last night and obviously the cyclone best
wishes to everyone in Queensland. With that, of course they
had to cancel the footy. So tonight it's Sydney versus
Hawthorne at the SCG. Sydney missing a lot of stars.
They're all Gooden Callum Mills, a couple of others. Hawks
at full strength. I don't know which way to go,
Clarzy of you.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I reckon Hawks. I think yeah, Sydney'd be a bit flat.
I was missing, but who knows.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I reckon. I just feel like CG though SCG, and
also so desperate to for some redemption. You know, when
you lose like that in the Grand I can't wait
to play again because it's the only way that you
can make any difference. It's hard to know on the
first game. Yeah, what could happen?
Speaker 5 (06:40):
This will be an interesting game though, I mean because
Hawthorne finished last year with so much of a you know,
an upput prajectory, and they.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Would have been disappointed to the fun reckon Hawks would
have been a bit disappointed that they didn't go a
bit further.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yeah. Absolutely. Did you see the docco they made on
them as well? The only team ever to finish in
the Semis and get a docco made on them in
sweat or something. It was really good. It was on. Yeah,
look out for that. So predictions I've told you Odership, Well,
I don't know about you guys, but you you might
want to chip in here. Premiership. I'm saying free A.
They've got all the pieces of shape Bolton, Andy Brashaw recommitted.
(07:14):
How good was that?
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Gave me a left twenty thirty one.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
World's best bike, committed to the club for which years?
So we're saying Freeer. We're all on board with Freeer
win the flag.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Oh I'm happy to go with Freer. You got to
put the thought out there.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Do I do have purple?
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Well it is my favorite color, So I guess I
should go for it.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Well, you know, purple is the color of frustration.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Apparently it's the color of yes, color frustration, all sorts
of and all sorts of things, all sorts of frustration.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah, I do have to say the words because I've
been ever since I weather the first first game pre
season to get Estenton, you know, nineteen ninety four, Yeah,
for the season. Yeah, I've been hoping it would win
a flag.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
So it's been thirty years.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Of course I want I want them to win.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
But I reckon they're going to shrug off the frustrations
and so we're saying FREEO. I think they'll probably play
the Giants in the Grand final. Mike brownlow is Nick Dekos,
I like Caleb's the wrong but Nick Dakos, I think
are you happy with that? We need to write these
down record on this?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Do we have Do we play against Jesse Hogan in
a Grand final?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
As long as long as you won Man, So we've
got Coleman medal, Jeremy Cameron or Jake Waterman at the
Eagles Wooden Spoons obviously going to be Richmond biggest rise
at Free So they're going to come from tenth to first,
which is pretty good on Melbourne. Melbourneill lift as well.
And I think the Saints are on the slide.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Well you reckon they might be wooden spurners.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Well maybe Richmond woulden spoon maybe the second, second, bottom.
The bottom four is going to be tough.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
And when you're the Tigers and you lose players like that,
the two boys have gone Baker and Graham. That's that's
the exactly Well you're.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Going to say Loo's the poor I said the poor Aints,
the Aints, Saints.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Long times since the wobbly point.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Yes, that once in sixty six, like us, we're once
in seventy seven. The Demons more to.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Come, including if they just played on that year, come
back for that side beside dirty. If I was a Saints.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Supporter, yeah, that game, Yeah, it's terrible. Wow is that
long ago?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Picked the ball upreaky man?
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Yeah, oh my god, it was that little guy the
Ford pocket.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah, and he couldn't find the handle and he would
have kicked the winning goals anyway. Now, I had a
beautiful moment this week. I had the opportunity. I got
sent out to see the oldest living league footballer in
Western Australia. His name was Bobby Taylor. He was turning
one hundred on Wednesday and he was at a retirement
village in Woodlands, just near Channel seven, and he was
(09:49):
doing some bowls. He was playing bowls, playing bowls at
one hundred. Amazing. He had one of those sticks to
throw the ball with. But maybe he was telling hybrid,
very very very key, he's out the main thing. Yeah,
he's moving one hundred and So he played footy for
my club, the Perth Footy Club, and for East Perth actually,
but he played for Perth in nineteen forty eight.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Oh so he played with you barret.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Mate, no cigar, Yeah, so he went he played at
East birth In. It was funny lot. She would have
loved this because he played for East Perth in nineteen
forty two.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
He would have known my grandfather then they would have
been there at the same time.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Really, what was your grandfather's name? Eric Smith? Eric Smith,
I'll ask him D Smith, E D. Smith. Who do
you be in corporal or sergeant or captain?
Speaker 3 (10:33):
No, he was he was like on the board, he
was the treasurer.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Yeah, did he go to war? Because that's what I
said to this fellow, Bobba. It must have sounded like
a complete deal. I said, So he played for these
Birth nineteen forty two and then Perth nineteen forty eight.
What were you doing in between? He looked at me like,
is this bloke winding me up? This barrow blake come
(10:57):
down on the last year out.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Of Hitler one?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
There might have been a biggie so something he said,
something like that might have been a big event on
at that time. I said, I really, I'm thinking I'm scrambling.
Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
All event World War two.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah, he went off to the navy, yeah and fought
and you know, and then came back and played footy,
which was stupid. Really, I'm talking to him about footy,
but when you think about it, I should have been
talking about the World War Two anyway. Oldest living league
footballer Woodlands And I said, you love this, I said,
I said, Bobby, what was the secret to a lot?
What is the secret to a long life? And he said,
(11:34):
I'll tell you what my diet is. I love polony
sandwiches using tip top white bread. Yeah, and homebrew.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
All right, a combo washing.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
A polony and tamati sauce. Sandwich has to be white
bread to be on white bread.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Actually, is that what we call it here? Polony?
Speaker 5 (11:56):
I don't know what they're talking about. We have polony.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Apparently it's Fritz in South Australia and the Kew's have
lost the plot. What do they call their thongs? Flip
flops or slip flops? I think you call them flip flops.
I think they call it lunch. They call it chili, Yes,
the chilibin chilibin. And in Queensland apparently it's called windsor poloney.
(12:19):
Polone is called windsor so many different names. Could have
a windsor sandwich anyway, just say things which it's.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
The greatest, the most underrated sandwich.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Of all time? Can you school with that?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
And pickles?
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Picklesis he lived to one hundred? So crack at it?
Do it, Bob. I'll quickly wrap up Cricket's most fascical tournament,
the champions. Have you heard about this? So Pakistan is
the host, So okay, pay a heap of money. We
want to be the host, just to be great. You
know Daffi Stadium, Lahore, Karachi. You know we use all
(12:56):
our great stadiums. And India which runs cricket, They said, yeah, no,
we're not coming. We'll play if you want us to
play for high ratings and that we'll play, but we're
not coming to your country. So neutral venue, we don't
like it, we're playing it. We're staying in Dubai. So
they've been stuck in Dubai won all their games. So
guess where the final of the Champions Trophy hosted by pakistanis.
(13:19):
It's in Dubai. I don't even have the final in
their own country when they're hosting the joint and so
New Zealand has had to fly to Dubai to meet India.
So who cares?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Is Pakistan should.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Have been a Punjab or ral Pindi or Peshwar or whatever, Karachi,
all those places you've been to the last and World Traveler,
I'll finally wrap up. Are we still dirty about the Wildcats?
Can we get a bit angry.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
About It's horrible, but that's the event you can't do.
I know we were robbed.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
There's no replay on goaltending, So what happened? So this
boke ben Henschel comes up, goes to try to bounce
off the backboard and when they do that, you can't
knock the ball away otherwise those giants are just stand
there and go yeah yeah, yeah, you just have a goalkeeper.
And it was clear and obvious goaltending free for us.
(14:20):
The guy I missed it the NBL is now admitted, yes,
we did miss it. Bad luck. I know it was
only two seconds to go or something or whatever it was,
and you could have got the two points Jesse wag
stuff was it here later? I was at a three pointer?
But how rob mate? I don't know how to get
over that. That would have been in the Grand finale.
Speaker 6 (14:36):

Do I do have purple?
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Well it is my favorite color, So I guess I
should go for it.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Well, you know, purple is the color of frustration.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Apparently it's the color of yes, color frustration, all sorts
of and all sorts of things, all sorts of frustration.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah, I do have to say the words because I've
been ever since I weather the first first game pre
season to get Estenton, you know, nineteen ninety four, Yeah,
for the season. Yeah, I've been hoping it would win
a flag.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
So it's been thirty years.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Of course I want I want them to win.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
But I reckon they're going to shrug off the frustrations
and so we're saying FREEO. I think they'll probably play
the Giants in the Grand final. Mike brownlow is Nick Dekos,
I like Caleb's the wrong but Nick Dakos, I think
are you happy with that? We need to write these
down record on this?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Do we have Do we play against Jesse Hogan in
a Grand final?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
As long as long as you won Man, So we've
got Coleman medal, Jeremy Cameron or Jake Waterman at the
Eagles Wooden Spoons obviously going to be Richmond biggest rise
at Free So they're going to come from tenth to first,
which is pretty good on Melbourne. Melbourneill lift as well.
And I think the Saints are on the slide.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Well you reckon they might be wooden spurners.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Well maybe Richmond woulden spoon maybe the second, second, bottom.
The bottom four is going to be tough.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
And when you're the Tigers and you lose players like that,
the two boys have gone Baker and Graham. That's that's
the exactly Well you're.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Going to say Loo's the poor I said the poor Aints,
the Aints, Saints.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Long times since the wobbly point.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Yes, that once in sixty six, like us, we're once
in seventy seven. The Demons more to.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Come, including if they just played on that year, come
back for that side beside dirty. If I was a Saints.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Supporter, yeah, that game, Yeah, it's terrible. Wow is that
long ago?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Picked the ball upreaky man?
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Yeah, oh my god, it was that little guy the
Ford pocket.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah, and he couldn't find the handle and he would
have kicked the winning goals anyway. Now, I had a
beautiful moment this week. I had the opportunity. I got
sent out to see the oldest living league footballer in
Western Australia. His name was Bobby Taylor. He was turning
one hundred on Wednesday and he was at a retirement
village in Woodlands, just near Channel seven, and he was
(09:49):
doing some bowls. He was playing bowls, playing bowls at
one hundred. Amazing. He had one of those sticks to
throw the ball with. But maybe he was telling hybrid,
very very very key, he's out the main thing. Yeah,
he's moving one hundred and So he played footy for
my club, the Perth Footy Club, and for East Perth actually,
but he played for Perth in nineteen forty eight.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Oh so he played with you barret.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Mate, no cigar, Yeah, so he went he played at
East birth In. It was funny lot. She would have
loved this because he played for East Perth in nineteen
forty two.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
He would have known my grandfather then they would have
been there at the same time.

Really, what was your grandfather's name? Eric Smith? Eric Smith,
I'll ask him D Smith, E D. Smith. Who do
you be in corporal or sergeant or captain?
Speaker 3 (10:33):

was the treasurer.
Speaker 1 (10:37):

said to this fellow, Bobba. It must have sounded like
a complete deal. I said, So he played for these
Birth nineteen forty two and then Perth nineteen forty eight.
What were you doing in between? He looked at me like,

at that time. I said, I really, I'm thinking I'm scrambling.
Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
All event World War two.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah, he went off to the navy, yeah and fought
and you know, and then came back and played footy,
which was stupid. Really, I'm talking to him about footy,
but when you think about it, I should have been
talking about the World War Two anyway. Oldest living league
footballer Woodlands And I said, you love this, I said,
I said, Bobby, what was the secret to a lot?
What is the secret to a long life? And he said,
(11:34):

sandwiches using tip top white bread. Yeah, and homebrew.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
All right, a combo washing.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
A polony and tamati sauce. Sandwich has to be white
bread to be on white bread.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Actually, is that what we call it here? Polony?
Speaker 5 (11:56):
I don't know what they're talking about. We have polony.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Apparently it's Fritz in South Australia and the Kew's have
lost the plot. What do they call their thongs? Flip
flops or slip flops? I think you call them flip flops.
I think they call it lunch. They call it chili, Yes,
the chilibin chilibin. And in Queensland apparently it's called windsor poloney.
(12:19):
Polone is called windsor so many different names. Could have
a windsor sandwich anyway, just say things which it's.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
The greatest, the most underrated sandwich.

the champions. Have you heard about this? So Pakistan is
the host, So okay, pay a heap of money. We
want to be the host, just to be great. You
know Daffi Stadium, Lahore, Karachi. You know we use all
(12:56):
our great stadiums. And India which runs cricket, They said, yeah, no,
we're not coming. We'll play if you want us to
play for high ratings and that we'll play, but we're
not coming to your country. So neutral venue, we don't
like it, we're playing it. We're staying in Dubai. So
they've been stuck in Dubai won all their games. So
guess where the final of the Champions Trophy hosted by pakistanis.
(13:19):
It's in Dubai. I don't even have the final in
their own country when they're hosting the joint and so
New Zealand has had to fly to Dubai to meet India.
So who cares?

Have been a Punjab or ral Pindi or Peshwar or whatever, Karachi,
all those places you've been to the last and World Traveler,

Speaker 1 (14:00):

boke ben Henschel comes up, goes to try to bounce
off the backboard and when they do that, you can't
knock the ball away otherwise those giants are just stand
there and go yeah yeah, yeah, you just have a goalkeeper.
And it was clear and obvious goaltending free for us.

only two seconds to go or something or whatever it was,
