Speaker 1 (00:01):
I'm excited to talk sport.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Well, hello, Anna, I wanted to get straight into it
because it's been draft week and like, you look as
excited as if you're off to.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
The met ball.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Yes, I am excited. Yes, it's Christmas in footy world. Yes.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
And Harley Reid he's an exciting prospect. Yeah. So the
Eagles they swooped on. Not the greatest surprise of all time, No,
it was.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I was talking about it for about thirteen years now.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Yes, so, as expected, the Eagles did swoop on the
talented Victorian. He was presented his number nine jumper by
Nick Natt as expected again, but he said he was
so excited.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
That number nine it does. He has big shoes to fill.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
He was so excited he slept in his number nine
jumper the night of the.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Draft, so cute. And right the next day to.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
The press conference with the massive yellow crocs on, so
cute fashion going on.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
He does so crocs And just because it rhymes, it
doesn't doesn't mean it's cool.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
He did look cool though. I was like, he's cool,
rhyme and crime.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Yes, so I love that he's excited to come to
Perth and to play for the Eagles, and I think
this kid, he's under a lot of pressure. There is,
As you said, we've been talking about him for months
and months and months. So he arrives in Perth this
afternoon four o'clock. Maybe should have said that because now
there's going to be a lot like that one slip.
(01:37):
So yeah, he's under a lot of pressure and soon.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
On the train.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
He's coming on the track on the train of course, yes, actually, boat,
I think.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
He as soon as he touches down, there's going to
be you know, excited fans and he's going to be
under pressure from the get absolutely, so even I'm to
go and you know say hello, yeah, yep. So he's Yeah,
it's going to be a big year for him. But
I think he's a symbol of hope. I mean West
Coast fans haven't had a lot to celebrate over the
past two years, and I think he's more than just
(02:12):
a draft pick.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
If you had him to Gymby and some of the
other good boys late. It's a good bunch of young.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Allan hewittt it's a good core bunch there.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
That's work two ways though. Don't want to put too
much pressure on the pool like it's all on his shoulders.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeaheah, it's a lot.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
And he's been successful football amongst other men, not playing men.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, so he comes in Yeah, let him just can't
I know. It is a lot. Yeah, so but good
on him. It's good that he'll be in Perth.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
They start proper pre season on Monday, so he'll join
senior Eagles. The Eagles had so they had number one pick.
Then their next pick was pick thirty so that's the
first pick way too. Yeah, there was a big gap. Yeah,
so they took to read to read yet to read
to read.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Better than one.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
There's been a few relations, no relation, a few puns
about that. So he's a toll forward. The club's really
excited about him. They also selected Peel midfielder Clay Hall.
You might have heard of his dad, Derek Hall. He
played for the Eagles. And yeah, so thirty three years
after his dad was drafted by the Eagles. Wo, pall,
it has been selected. So that's cool there, Yeah, it
(03:20):
is freo. They only came into draft action on Day
two with pick thirty five, so they took midfielder Cooper Simpsons.
He's yeah, he is a gun and at forty one
they took key defender Ollie Murphy. So both these players
are steals. As you've just said, they are guns. Some
point throughout the year they were in the top twenty conversations.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
They've slid and Freo have pounds. Now.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Freo have a real gift for this, for selecting picks
late that end up being stars. So I've got a
couple of example, Brendan Cox, he was taken with pick
forty one, sixteen in the draft. Sean Darcy pick thirty eight. Yeah,
and Michael Frederick picked sixty one. Oh my gosh, Lockie
Schultz pick fifty seven. Don't talk about him, no, sorry,
(04:07):
we shouldn't have mentioned him. Yeah, but but that Yeah,
a lot of clubs, you know, they don't have that
success with late picks that Frio do. So hopefully they're
you know, even though they only came in at thirty
five and forty one.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
There's a lot of hope in these players.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
But it was a reputation the Eagles had back in
the nineties because people of Bret Hetty and those kind
of blakes. I got, yeah, and I think far out
in the draft.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Noah Long is the latest example of them doing well
late in the draft. He was the last draft pick
last year and he had a really good year and
just on w Way Boys. So our top pick, Daniel Curtain,
he's headed to the Crows. Subiaco's Colton Tollstrup. He's off
to Melbourne with pick thirteen. I was at his house
when he got It's.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
A cool name.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Kiss. He's a cool kid. He's got the best son.
He's the best mullet, right, a really cool family.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Sure that that's actually two words that goes together.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Category take best.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Category of the brownlow Knight.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yeah, I mean it's curly, it's you know, he's shaved exactly.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Am I selling it? It's these shaved sides with the mullet.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I can't. I can't.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
I think when you meet him, though, you're like, he
just doesn't care what anyone else.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Clearly, I think.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Maybe that's why you're going to do well personality. I
was like, he's going to be he's going to thrive
in the a f L. And he's so confident. Yes,
the w A boy to Go was Riley Hardiman and
he's off to North Melbourne.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Okay, Okay, A lot's happening there.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Yeah, you know with Harley read rocking up to the airport.
So you're going to be Is it going to be
like Coldplay rocking up and they have the long Well, I.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Don't think so, because the Eagles have actually put him up.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
I think they've realized that there's going to be a
lot of fanfare, you know, to talk to him. So
they said, you know what, let's put him up. Okay,
let's speak to him. So I think we will get
you get a press conference. Yeah, we're going to have
a press conference, which I'm really happy about. It's not
going to be that swarm fighting for a grab.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Then burst the publicity bustle.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
You get ahead of get ahead of it, ahead of it,
otherwise everyone's going to have more wed.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Then you can go home. He can relax.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
H he speaks, Well, you can relax, you can chill.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Out till Monday. Everybody is happy. I go home. Hasn't
got a bullet.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
But his hair looks a bit like a man for
free Yani. Yeah, as Lisa pointed.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Out, he actually he did. Yeah, I see that.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
The cricket now moves, of course to australiav India in
the T twenty.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Can you believe these two sides are back in action.
It's just four days.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
It's a lot O d I final. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Some players Marnus Labashane said it was he just can't
fathom it.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I think with the words he used might yes.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Yeah, Steve Smith in English from the from the victorious
World Cup side winning playing last night.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yes, but there's seven players that have stayed in India
and that will play because there's five games at some.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Point throughout the next I think it's ten days.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Something, yes, so it's it's hard for them India. They
won the first of the five matches. They won by
two miicket mikets wickets despite west Dozzi Josh Inglish making
one hundred and ten off fifty balls. He whacked eleven
fours and eight six's. His previous best score in the
format was forty eight. Steve Smith made fifty two, so
(07:32):
that was a great effort by him, but yet they
couldn't get it done. Their second match is on Sunday,
so there's just three weeks until the first Test against
Pakistan here in Perth.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
So it's crazy that she said, yeah, the schedule is
too much, I think get worn out. Yeah, it's absolutely
and I think it takes away from the sort of yeah,
the specialness of a competition, let's just enjoy it. It
just become and everyday thing.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
So those players, those sevens wouldn't have been to celebrate
as much as they would have liked.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
And then they're going to they're not going to have
that time to recover for the test. So yeah, it's
a lot they're amazing for how how they get.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
It affects the quality and the care factor. The Scorches
have been knocked off the top spot.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah they have, so they've put home final at risk.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
They lost to the Melbourne Stars for the second time
this season this week, so they'll need to upset the
Strikers today in Adelaide or hope a whole host of
results go their way to finish the season with a
double chance. There's a whole host So I'm not going
to list them because to figure it out, but a
lot of things need to go their way, and as
(08:42):
we were saying before, they've had such a great start
to the season did so hopefully they can still secure
that still chance.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
The Worldcats stole their luck and good form.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
It's one team, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, just just quickly, way's min Wu Lee is in
striking distance at the PGA Brisbane.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Yeah, so he's in second place heading into day two.
He's one off the lead. Spanish Joel mascotol Nashon is
in first place with an eight under sixty three.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
That's a course record.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Remarkably, he's ranked one thousand, one hundred and sixty sixty
second in the world. So if that doesn't give you
inspiration for your Friday, I don't know what will. So
that's your bit of Friday inspiration in the race, I
know I couldn't even read it. Cam Smith had a
day to forget with a two over round of seventy three,
(09:31):
so he's under pressure to make the cut in his
chase to win his fourth Australian PJA title.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
All right, thank you very much. I have a wonderful weekend.
We'll see you next week.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
