And I heard on the news then that the NFL
had just announced that they they've announced the Chairman of
Selectors for Victoria and w A for the footage. So
Start of Origin next year is coming back. It's going
to be in Perth up to Stadium in February. Obviously
Dean Cox and Chris Scott are the two coaches, but
they've decided that they're going to go a bit of
(00:27):
left of field and it's going to be Gerdy Layan,
Gerty Laye.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
It's just that's just football, that's how they do it.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
And Glenn Jakovic Big Jacko is the is the chief
is the chief of well basically chief of staff for footy,
but chairman of Selectors for w A. So it's going
to be a bit like the old days when Male
Brown used to take on Ted Whitten in the State
of Origin.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
This sort of personality.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
It's going to be good.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
And I went back in the archives and I pulled
out this iconic moments when Ted Whitten was at the
Whacker and he's being interviewed by David Christensen and he
didn't realize he was live on television and he was
talking to his Victorian players and turn this up and
have listen to what he's been what he says to
the Victorians.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Stuck right up them.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
That's what to do, Just stuck a right up them.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
That's obviously a very famous Ted Witten grab, but I
didn't realize he was talking to Christo at the time.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
And Christa goes, Ted, you're on TV.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yeah, well there's no audio of mel Brown because of
course he took the microphone and snapped it on television
in front of the reporter. YouTuber kids. It's quite a
That's how coaches used to have.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
And threw it through it in the bin. That was
at footy club.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Actually, Ted Whitton was very good at commentary. Yeah, and
then dealing with someone heckling him at the same time
without missing a.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Beach h and re geniuses. Anyway, that's what we're going
to get in the lead up til to February. Hey,
let's turn our attention to cricket because it's actually only
two weeks now until the West Test in w A,
So the first Test it starts in two weeks time
and a lot of people including Susie will be lining
(02:13):
up on Friday morning to get a tickets because.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Hoping that you don't get a seat next to the
Barbie Army.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
I think that would be fun.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I love the Barbie Army after four or five?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Are they amazing how they don't put on sunscreen or anything.
They survived like that.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
You see them by Have you ever heard the term
mad dogs in English?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Yes, that's where that pomegranates palms bit came from.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Red So anyway, they've been spotted already the English playing
golf at Ara Luin Golf Club.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Have you been up there?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Lose a beautiful it's on the list.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
It's very good.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Because I've had three lessons. I'm like in the.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Liver Royal Royal Ara Luin.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Away you normally do journle up Karen up Royal perth Kite.
So if anyone sees and please call me because yeah,
I would like to catch up them there and they
might be at the Obih or the cod as well.
They love a cold beer on a hot day, so
I don't think they're that focused on the footy in
the Leader, sorry the cricket and it's actually speaking of golf.
(03:17):
And you know I mentioned I saw that crazy bit
of research Seriously, this is crazy stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
What Americans do.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
They've done some research that shows that women who play
golf make better wives and partners.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I can't that's a little bit misogynistic. But I'll tell
you what.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
If your wife starts out driving you.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
I think it's because you have to be patient to
play golf.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I think it's just the fact you do stuff together
and findings. That's that's key to a long relationship.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Isn't that?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
But I thought that's why men played golf to get
away from their wife.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
He said that. You said that.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
It's throwing the whole thing into.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
A current health theory.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
So cricket training at Lilac Hill today. The Poems are there.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
They're going to play a game next week against the
English lines, which is like England a it's a lockout.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Though it's a it's a hit and giggle, but they're
locking everybody out.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
So I wanted to mention the Big Bash stance this
weekend Sunday at the Whacker. Our women's team, the Scorches,
are playing at five thirty and five thirty Sunday. But
the Big Bash is bringing in some innovations and one
they've pinched from baseball in the first over of each innings.
If the ball goes into the crowd, if it's a
six or bouncers in there or anything, you can keep
(04:29):
the ball.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I'm not impressed.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Gimmicky. It was a great thing about cricket.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
It wasn't It was gimicky.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Yeah, but it'd be great for the kids.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Cricket ball and what if that's a good ball that's
been working.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
It's only the first day of it, so.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
You know, still a good ball. It's been working for you.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
They haven't gone with my suggestion to call themselves the
scorch hers to differentiate themselves from the scorches.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I like that. I like that.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
I expected them to pick that up this year.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
They are going wild West.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
The theme this year this season is wild West, So
they're going to dress up as orange cowboys and cowgirls.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
When they come out wearing cowboy.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Hats, they are not and the crowd, the crowd is
going to do the same thing. It's going to be
whips and a kubrews. No, they're going to run through.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Is that what they call those hats? Yeah, yeah, it's
a cowboy hat something.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Have they got corks on them?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
What is going on just gat Creekert.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
But this is the best bit.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
The players are going to run out onto the onto
off the stadium or the whacker through some saloon doors.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Are the men doing that as well?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:41):
I thought you having a land, aren't you. Actually they
are not doing this.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
You are running through saloon doors. In movies there you
only get thrown through saloon doors.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
That's when you're out, you go through the glass window.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
I think we'll perhaps come back.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, enough enough with the innovation.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Oh yeah, and it's a dtiful day outside. Were so
fortunate to live in this great state, in the most
isolated city in the world.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Actually, with AI.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Coming and stuff, I'll tell you what we're really going
to admire.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I've been at one of those conferences where they talk
about AI.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
You'll have more time to spend out in that beautiful weather,
won't you.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
I couldn't sleep. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
A lot more golf being played, you're right least, but
sport as well on television. Still flying Eagles AFLW elimination
final tomorrow. The girls are there their first ever time
in the finals at the Eagles and that's where we
in eighty eight, our first final.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
The Eagles Men's team.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Remember that yep.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I was there nineteen eighty eight and it was at
also Princess Bark which is our icon park where they're playing.
So I'll tell you more stories about those war stories
later on.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
We've got more time. But they're going to win. I
reckon they're going to beat Carton.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Jess wrenches back and Kelly Gibson she was sick last week,
so I reckon she'll fire.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
The team to beat. Of course, North Melbourne twenty four consecutive.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Everyone's playing, else's playing for second. You're right, You're right.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
It's unbelievable. Did you did you?
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Is there a lady carry lady?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
There is a.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Lak Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
No rus.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
And now Bryce Cotton's coming up against the Wildcats this week.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Oh yes, second ago a good reception in Adelaide.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
For the Cats, it's like seeing your ex at a
party and your ex is looking really, really good.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Never looked better. That's what they're going to run into
ge Why do we let him go?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
A really hot new friend?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I hate that Bryce is likely to score thirty. It's
the biggest mistake since New Coke letting letting him go.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Its thankfully didn't even make it because it was such
a mistake that we all heard about it.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yeah, yeah, anyway, so good luck against Bryce, but geez,
that was so blue. Australian socer great Harry Kill rumoured
to be coaching the Perth Glory Englan. I found out
now he's just been appointed to a new job in Vietnam.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
That was an easy mistake to make.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
It's not coming.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
And he coaches with an interpreter because they can none
of them who can speak English.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Really yeah, yeah, he can only speak English.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Actually, does the interpreter have to yell at the same
level that he does?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
When he's not happy, he goes, he goes to the
hand gestures though, yeah, he does that in the universe
one two. That's but bringing bringing Harry here would have
been like bringing a ferrari to a go cart track.
Time for Barry's bits.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
