Speaker 1 (00:00):
Morning, Good morning you guys. It's GRAMM final week and
how are you feeling, mate? And you've got the spray
out already?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
You sound a bit better.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Careful.
Speaker 4 (00:11):
I could taste it for half the day.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Has anyone proven that the works Glen twenty we must do.
I guess it somehow kill the germs.
Speaker 5 (00:19):
Well, we're still here after talking to you on Monday,
so I guess that's.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
A good, magnificent day outside. Hopefully golf lessons coming your
way at some stage.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Lease.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
But the Brownlow, yeah, big, big night, obviously, massive ratings.
People absolutely love the blue carpet, the red clap or
whatever carpet it was. And then they come back for
the end of the and it was quite an exciting
a lot of exciting things happen. The guy that won,
we weren't expecting controversial.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
It was going to be Nick.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Dekos, and it turned out he got a lot of votes.
But another bloke got an extraordinary amount. Matt Rau from
the Suns. His first four games he played, he got
best on Ground, so then that was a sort of
a tip off the g something's going on here. In
his first six matches he got out of eighteen votes
he got fifteen.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, so that was a big sign that, well, this
is happening. The Umps loving he got thirty nine votes.
I think at some stages there he got a vote
where he shouldn't have got them, which means probably the
Umps see that confused him with Noah Anderson or merged
them both into one. He's a great teammate because he
seemed to be getting all the votes. But it was
(01:27):
a worthy winner. There's no doubt he's a very good play.
He's the guy that used to do the eat the
grass before the game thing.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Yes, I've seen that ritual, which is unusual.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
But he's lost. But you know how you work walk
with barefoot.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
It so Lloyd that used to throw it up in
the air which direction, Yes, he did that.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
That makes sense.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Some people go out with their shoes off and fuel
the grass. I think Alex Pearce does that.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
He had one with the ground.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
You get grounded.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
He's very said, like, isn't he Yes, it sounds like
something he would do.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
But eating it, yeah, I don't understand and what that
is about.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
It was just being in tune with the with the
whole ground.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I don't think it is I really don't.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
He got told up when he was in a brownlow
the ground has been in Northern Territory told him not
to do it because they of the third lives they
use up there. I think so he might get sick, mate,
But you're right he was as you said, Russie was
the winner, so he must have been. Nick Dakos had
a monster year. He's had one hundred votes over the
last three years and he stillsn't won one. So that
(02:29):
is bizarant his dad ever win one. No very good player,
but yeah, just a bit kind of handy. Nick should
have won one.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
So that's kite the kick kick in the backyard.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Three of them.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Row got thirty nine votes, the entire Eagles squad stop
it twelve votes.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Round four he had four. That's right, only way up.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
That's what happens.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Rebuilding Murphy Reid Bruce as they call him after Bruce
cricket out Murphy read Bruce rising Star from WA's Dan Curtin.
That was so well deserved. But this is the guy
I wanted to mention. Harris Andrews from Brisbane. He's playing
in the Grand Final. He won the Jim Steins Award
for Community service. Does a lot of work in the
space of domestic violence, prevention of domestic and family violence,
(03:19):
and he sent a pretty good message to all the players.
Have listened to this, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
I think I've learned just the importance of role models
in the community, particularly as a sportsman and someone who
has a little bit of a platform within society, the
significance and the importance of making sure that we turn
up and behave well and really set good standards as
young men and hopefully those the next generation looks onto
that and then behave that same way, and they're creating
(03:46):
a really great example for the next generation.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Nice good message for young people.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Speaking of yeah, yeah, messages for young people.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Oh we're going to the messages, are we? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Oh, well, I have got some good messages for young
people after the break if you want.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I was going to quickly mention Nazaiah Wanganeen Miller the
greatest game this.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Year, which I saw that game, well, I saw the
tail end of that game amazingly.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
If you're umpired one of the three games I saw,
who would you have given them? Three votes? Him?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Absolutely? Him. I think everyone agreed with that.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Even the opposition team was surprised when he didn't get what. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah, so only got two votes and one of their teammates,
Jack Viney.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Got three.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So that was the great balls up. That sort of
undermines the whole thing. I quickly wanted to mention Balley
Smith wearing sunglasses at the Brown Lay.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Rock Star. I mean, honestly, it wasn't going to the Arias.
And then he was man spreading apparently too.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
When he was man spreading, when you sit down and
you spread your legs, oh okay, it's.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Not a great look.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
He likes to take up some space.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
And there's a there's a Snoop Dogg rumor.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Today he's demanded a replica stage be built at Marvel
Stadium to rehearse for the rehearsal at the MCG.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Did you see him kick that banana?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Yeah? I thought he was good.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
It was very He's very athletic, isn't he very very?
Speaker 3 (05:09):
He hasn't looked after himself as much as he could.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
What you're saying.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
That he was puffing as well?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
He's always perfect, all right?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
That advice, yeah, advice.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
You're going to have some good messages for kids, young
people how to deal with failure.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Yeah, yes, And I beg your pardon.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, and would be resilient, ashamed of perfect perfect segue
for us.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
I've got a whole spiel here.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I might save that until we've got through our text
messages because I've got the perfect answer for that, great man,
and I think we're on the same page.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I mean, here, me and Robbie of mandra what.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Adult tasks do you remember teaching your kids and how
did it go? That one was from Martin from Midland
because we were.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Talking about adulting earlier and how a lot of people
apparently aren't.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I was so proud of myself when I taught my
son to change a tire. Yeah, I thought I am
the king, because I was thinking I might go and
may not be able to pull this off.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
And I got through myself. So it was a sort
of thing for me as well.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
It was a special moment between me and my dad.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Quite there, how to change a tire, Yeah, I'm not
quite there.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
They're a little bit a little bit yeah, jump starting,
jump starting the car.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
That's the other one. When you nail that one.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
You know, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
One day I tried to show Tom how to change
a washer in the bathroom sink, and I went way
too hard and I sort of snapped the water pipe.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
It costs six hundred bucks, had to get a get
a plumber. So there was one of the ones who
didn't go to these days.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
With new cars, it's probably you know, most cars need
a software update. Kids can probably help with that.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Actually, but coming full circle, that is a good opportunity
to teach them about failure.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Don't don't don't let it, you know, don't sweat.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
It, just call the pla.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
The world is changing though, with participation awards and the
Brownlow Medal. I saw they even said, oh, maybe we
should give second and third because.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
That's we see that he came second. We know he
came well, we know you know he was the second best.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
It doesn't yeah, doesn't the because the team that loses
the Grand Final they still get.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
No, they don't. They just talk of giving out talk
medallions to them.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
What would they do with them?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
They just take them off straight away the river.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
I don't want to be reminded of this.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
So Perth gather around, gather around the barbecue of life,
about to speak of dad vice as mentioned, how to
teach kids to deal with failure. Just like one team
on Saturday at five o'clock. We'll have to deal with
failure at the MCG.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Okay the heads and hands.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah, exactly. So let's be honest. No, kids like losing,
don't they. Whether it's footy or Fortnite or getting beaten
in the cross country.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
They take it hard, don't they.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Russ that to be right, That would be right, And
dad's your job is to help them shrug it off.
Start by telling them what all great Aussie dads know,
even legends stuff up like on. My example always is
Tom I was running through the MCG one day in
a big game and I bounced the ball on the
cricket pitch. It hit something, bounce back over my head
(08:20):
and my opponent got it and kicked a goal.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
It happens. It just doesn't go on.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Instagram in my era, but it does for them, So
keep it on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
That's another tip I can tell you that.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
So here's the truth. Failure isn't the opposite of success,
It's part of it.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Oh hang on, hang on.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
I like that Failure isn't the opposite of success, it's.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Part of it.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
So you fall off the bike, you fall off the bike,
you get back on, you burn the toast like we
do russ and you eat it scrap.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
That's what I do.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Actually, it's good for you that carbon or whatever that stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Yeah, give your kids permission to fail.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Let them know it's okay to miss that mark, drop
the catch, butcher their exam. Just remind them they're not alone.
Every dad has a story. I told you my one
about missing up the bathroom sink.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
As long as they try, as long as they have effort.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
In well and come back. So it's about resilience. It's
not about avoiding failure. It's about showing your kids how
to laugh at it, learn from it, and keep having
a crack.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Surely, resilience is one of the most important things you
can teach your kid.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Build resilience, Build great Aussies.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
So next time they fall short, don't just say it's okay, so,
yeah that sucked, but we go again, mate, we go again.
We'll have another crack at it here and after that
we're going on a Macca's run.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Do you think one of the teams at five o'clock
on Saturday will just laugh.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
It off and head down the Macas and get one
of their ice creams for a dollar.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
By Monday, By midway through Monday day afternoon, they might.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
When they're all dressed up and they've had a few.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I love that success around their sorrows.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
The opposite of failure or failure is not the opposite
of success.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
So that's my dad advice today.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I think teaching teaching kids how to lose and how
to grow very wise.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
And because if you don't Robbie and Mandra, that's what
we do, my friend.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
If you know you're with me, brother, if you don't
mess up, you don't learn anything.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
No exactly that I don't try and nothing happens. You
just sit in your room game.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Brilliant Another brilliant dad chat from you both.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
And this bloke is deep, deep
