I think, mate.
Speaker 1 (00:15):

Luckily I've retired long, long time ago and I get
to sit around and just talk about it now, which
makes it a bit easier. But tonight big game Hawthorne
the underdogs against Gelong at the MCG.

It goes back to Lee Matthews breaking Neville Bruns's jaw
on VHS.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Remember the mud Yeah, and then.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
There was the big one Dermy. Yeah, he's getting.

Sorting people out and getting sorted out.

That was that was That was long, Yeah it was.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
And Yateh come off the off the line, off the markets.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Dipper broke his ribs so he came back on kick.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
There's still a lot of bad blood.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Well, it's going to be a classic. I'm leading towards
the Cats to win, though just narrowly. Do you reckon, Lisa? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, who's going to win the fight?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
They look the more consistent team, especially with the week's rest.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
But the Hawks g.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Long, you know, will they do Geelong things in finals?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
They do?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
And the Hawks they've got momentum. Not that's the only
thing we don't know. They could roll right over. I
reckon they hit the wall. Yeah, see, are going to
be tight Verty douty.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I'm with Lisa. I think yeah, they do geelongy things,
all three of us.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, exactly, Gelong, all three of us.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Saturday night of course tomorrow Collingwood hosting Brisbane at the
G as well. It'll be ninety ninety thousands. Oh yeah, basically, yes,
what a coloseum it is.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Because all the Fitzroy fans turn up as well. You see, Yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
That feels a couple of hundred up a battle between
the last two premiership teams. Interestingly, the guy from w A,
Bobby Hill, who won the twenty twenty three Norm Smith Medal,
they didn't They.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Didn't pick him.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
He wanted to be picked, but he'd only played one
game in two months, had personal problems, some dramas at
home dealing with personal.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Issues, so he dropped out of footy for a while.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
And they had the opportunity to bring him back, but
I reckon in a good culture decision. They said, no, no,
we just can't bring you in mate. You haven't done
bugger or can't drop some poor Smucky. It's not good
for team morale. So they left him out and he
was the Norm Smith medalist last time they won the flag.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Yeah a week because a long time in football, never mind.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
A year exactly. So who are you going with here,
least Collingwood. Yeah, well I'm going to I think I
might go the lines.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I just I'm going to go to the Lions because
they're the premiers. They could become dangerous and lucky. Neil
has seen training. I know he's got the torn calf
and everything, but he was it was seen running pretty freely.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
If they get through.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
There was a decision to be made on Yeah, do
you bring him in for the Grand Final which would
always be a big core but he could be right
least I reckon.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I toss the coin.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Now let's get onto the main man of the night,
seventeen year old Gout Gout, now known as Double g Okay, that's.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
The nickname he's got at school. He said on TV
after his run trickle it is Double.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
That's not something you.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Want to know that's not what you're run to run on.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
That's for sure. They have that in Ipswich, a double
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah, that'll be a big double g.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Ip switch for sure.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Sorry, Barah makes me laugh, brittle mate.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
He ran in the two hundred meter semi final at
the World Champs.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Amazing. Really he's only seventeen. You know, imagine when he
starts shaving, how good he's going to it, you know
what I mean? Like seriously, because dynamics, what do you mean?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
He's got.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
The kid versus Graham, grown men and he's knocking around
with you know, superstar world champion Noah Files and all
lots of stuff. And then today he has to fly
back to Ipswich and do his you twelve exams.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
When you're a lot rocked up at skill because.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Mess up your study routine.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah, the whole of Australia was watching. Let's have a
listen to him a bit. He's a really engaging young man.
He's won me over. I'll tell you the gout gad
just this is him just talking a bit about Japan.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Probably the most fun I've I've had this whole year.
So it's definitely great being out there competing against the
world so I had a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I mean, first of the crowd, the.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Crowds in like one of the biggest crowds I run against.
But I think the biggest difference is the competition level.
It's definitely the top notch, so it's going there trying
to be the top notch as well just going out
there focusing one you focus on and have it. Definitely
I put pressure on myself a lot. But at the
end of the I'm one of the youngest. I think
I am the youngest in the two hundred, so I'm
just do do my deane, young bull trying to get
(04:50):
inst the final. Just do my dan run win like
I said, yeah, you need that's the goal, So stop
training the final, let's get it.
Speaker 4 (04:57):

he for like such a young.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
She very mature.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Very confident and comfortable but without being a you know what, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Huge, His time is coming, you see, Yeah, it's there.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
It's like you know he's going to be like Kathy
Freeman was in Sydney at the Brisbane Olympics in twenty
thirty two. He'll be enormous or Usain bolt in Beijing
when he won the hundred and the two hundred. He's
going to be enormous to double g. So he didn't
make the final, by the way, But this is my
favorite bit. Bruce mcavan has been calling on SBS and
(05:33):
he loves Jess whole, the Australian and she won the
first Ozzie medal in the fifteen hundred meter men or women.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
It was a bronze. Now we're going to.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Play the audio. Just listen out for Bruce yelling yes, yes, yes, yes,
turn up the volume now. I had I had to
turn the volume down at home because the neighbors may
have got the wrong idea. If you know what I mean.
You know, my wife's name's Tennis, name's Jodie, not Yess.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Listen, it's what Bara got excited about.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It's Kija going in front.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Hole's tiny up chip che cheer, an e warrior coming at.
Speaker 2 (06:09):

Speaker 5 (06:11):
Jes Jess, Jess, yes, Jesus, it's war and.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Hull gets the first Australian female the warm mail to
get a medal.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
The World chairs.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
That's another magic Macavating moment right there.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
It was.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
It was like it was like a religious experience. I
was about to light a candle. Well, it's the Waffles
Big weekend, isn't it. It's Waffle Grand Finals on Sunday
at Opter Stadium.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
It's going to beautiful weather. Apparently I've twenty six I
think twenty six.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
They get along all day, you know that. It starts
with the reserves at about nine o'clock and then the
then the Colts are on there, the curtain raisers, the
Colts games at about midday, and then the Yeah, because
I think it's a pretty big Colts game and potential
AFL recruits, So that's I think that's how they do it.
(07:09):
I'm not sure why, but the main games three twenty
perfect weather.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
That makes it easier for all the AFL scouts.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
You don't have to get up to get these early.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
That right, and get both games and don't forget, just
don't forget. You can get on the ground after the
main game, so you can get out there and have
a kick on op the stadium, which yeah, never actually
happens ever, except for this, it's a great tradition in
the Waffle has can pretend to be Harley Reid from
fifty or Luke Jackson.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
The other twenty thousand Harley reads out there to see how.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Far fifty meters really is? Ye like it never goes there,
a real rare opportunity. Lots of falcons as well. You know,
when you get banged in the head by.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
The boy, it will.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Be they won't be there, not with these perk on
the grand fintaying well away. That's when you get counked
on the head by the footy, right, don't make me laugh?
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Alright, So South from Antle in the main game, South
from Annel unstopped all year. They just had one last
two weeks. So fresh as ever so the book. You
say the Bulldogs are the hottest favorites this century, this century,
this century, and the Royals a massive underdogs.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I think there's six dollars being underdogs. Yeah they do.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
You're right, East Perth, That's exactly right. They know the ground,
they know the moment, they know the heartbreak they lost
last year's decider. They've got the scars.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
That makes them dangerous, makes them dangerous less.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
You know, there's the emotion and there's real emotion in
this match too because South star Hayden Schloyt. He returned
this season after beating testicular cancer and he's playing in
the match. A great story, and the club is still
carrying the memory of Nick Campo, that young cult player
that they lost in a tragic accident, and in particularly
their Colts team. They're sort of doing it for Nick
(08:55):
and beautiful boy by all reports, big future. Yeah, real
loss to the whole community. So rather than fracture the joint,
the tragedy, united South from Antle across the all the
all their teams league serving Colts. So I reckon they've
got an unbreakable bond there. So they're doing it for
Nick and so that so the Colts game will be enormous.
(09:15):
Clermont trying to win three straight as well, so it's
Clermont versus South from Antle the Colts as well, So
a real real it's a real reason to get along
if you can now in the just lastly, I want
to mention the Wildcats season opens tomorrow. That's their first
game r a c Arena against the Tasmanian jack Jumpers
(09:37):
post Bryce.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yes, so what will life be like post Bryce? I
think very good.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Their squad looks amazing and they've got this young bloke,
former NBA player Mason Jones.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
He loves shooting them from downtown.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
As they say, like, because I think I told you
the three point lines are further out.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
And he shoots for a long way back.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
So I reckon he'll film Cotton's Void scoring void. But
he's a real personality. I have listened to this. I
had a funny conversation with him on air and I
said to him, and you've got to get to Rotto.
He goes, what's rattle? That's the iron and you've got
to meet some Quakers. He goes Quakers.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
So he said, what he did his homework before he
got here.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
He hasn't done the you know, the induction.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Didn't read the brochure at the airport.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
And how would you describe a quacker to an American?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Think of a rat and then think of a rat
and then inside.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
A gerbil, that gerbil that had cooled down or something.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
I said, imagine a midget kangaroo, a Teddy Bear and
a Disney character had a baby.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
He went, what are you talking about now?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Confused?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
What about a real life Pokemon? He goes, what are
you on about? Boy? And then I said, what about
Stitch from Lino and Stitch. You know Stitch from.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
La or a furry baby Yoda. So anyway, I describe
a quacker, so I'm going to take him to do
a quacker Crocker shot. You know he did the quacker
far so you got over with him. I'm going to
take him over there. Yeah, because it's enough.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
For me, has enough and good luck to oscar a
Grand Prix Sunday night. Yes, yes, I believe that it's
seven o'clock our time, so we can actually so I
can actually watch.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
It well before my bedtime. Well, can you do the
report on Monday then that I.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Hope you've got a voice.
Speaker 4 (11:44):

to pull over for Lando
