Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's time to talk sport with Adrian Barrage. Hey guys,
so good to see you on the sensational weather outside.
I know that you guys haven't been out for a bit,
but brilliant day when you get out. I was just
looking on the screen. There's there's a dog that stopped
a match, a soccer match, and it turned out is
a beautiful like cavoodle or something. He looks like aoodle
(00:23):
and the dog soccer fan like maybe a labordoodle. And
it's turned out it was one of the players dog,
the captain. She was out there. Yeah, that's right, So
let's let's let's do some footy. There's so magical. Dogs
(00:44):
aren't there only one floor? They just don't live long enough.
That's their only floor, you know what I mean? But
we love them. Look, footy is actually back. Can you
believe this? I can't believe this myself. The Eagles first
to fourth year players are probably getting out of bed
right now, getting into the shower and getting red to
go to training pre season training. It starts at ten
am at lat Lane.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I've got anything else to do, but that hurts.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I know.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
There's plenty of games of a factory and they going
to train getting coffee.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Well, you know what, You've made a brilliant point because
when I played, when I played in my day, well
Margaret midad in the jobs and the jobs. But then
my first year, you know how much money I got
for playing for the Eagles probably.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Paid them eighteen shekels.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
There are twelve thousand dollars. Really, I got twelve grand
for the entire season, twelve thousand. You know what I
thought I was flying from getting paid to.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Get free boots or anything back then, or you have
toct Oh yeah, I got a pair of Humors whatever,
copa mondyals.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
But you're not the average payment now is It's not
twelve grand four hundred and six thousand. That's it's average
AFL player receives four hundred and six thousand dollars, which
is sixteen grand per match. So they're getting more per
match than I got for the entire season, that's all.
They train a lot more too. So if you get
(02:03):
down to Latlin today training at ten am, you'll see
Liam Baker will be there.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Oh, your big recruit.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
James Graham, as well the Tigers boys and their new
coach Andrew McWalter, plus all the first to fourth year players,
but normally all the smart players turn up early because
they know they want to impressed the coach. Now this
sounds a bit strange, but the Eagles they're almost like
a new club in many ways. In fourteen months they've
lost twenty players, twenty players and Nick from Nick Nat
(02:32):
to Shuey to Gaffy to Herne through the Darling Brass.
They are actually almost a new club. New CEO, Don Pike,
tres It's gone, new chairman coming Elizabeth Gaines. Yeah, first woman, Yeah,
new coach. So quite a turnover. And there was some
other big footing news today as well. The NFL just
dropped the fixtures for the gather around in South Australia.
(02:55):
So what they do the AFL is they just they
seep out stuff. They just leak stuff out just slow
during the year and the lead up to the season.
They don't give it at all at once because they
know they don't know yet.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Well, they decide later, they see how it's going and then.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
We'll make a decision. It feels like that, Well it
is like that, isn't it. Well they're just trying to
dominate the media cycle. So the gather round is like
in April, so they've gone. You know what, we'll give
you the April fixtures now so you can plan for
the gather round. Oh thanks very much so, but it
is fantastic in South Australia. So everyone plays in South
Australia of course for the gather round in early April.
(03:32):
There's a double header at Adelaide Oval. Carlton are playing
the Eagles. Well, the Eagles are playing Carlton at twelve
fifty and then you hang around and then Essenon and
playing Melbourne at seven o'clock at Adelaide Oval. But the
big one for me, Freemantle are playing Richmond, so it'll
be the Shaye Bolton Cup. First time they go up
against their old club, his old premiership teammates. But it's
(03:54):
in the Barossa Valley. Oh really, okay that grapes of mirth.
Footy getting a little bit better in the wine region.
I mean that would be nice melt, that would be
you've got. It's at twelve oh five, Okay, go for
half or so. It's actually making to the footy. Lease
(04:18):
if we send you over there on the Sunday, be
there on the twelve. They're serving wine as well. I'd
have to have some good ones. And then on Sundays
the buddy AFL this smart On the Sunday, they've got
a grudge match and it's Port Adelaide and Hawthorne. Remember
that final where the where their captain had to go,
(04:39):
the coach had to go, the captain and the captain
and yeah, so all I happened that. That's on the Sunday.
So that's going to be massive a rematch. It's a
grudge match. Now we've got to talk. We've got to
give plenty of time to the Dockers women. Spectacular sudden
death semifinal, sudden death final Freemantle, over five thousand people.
They're now into a sudden death semi final against Adelaide.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Good play Adelaide, Adelaide in Adelaide.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Yeah, I think they can do it. Two of their
stars were brilliant. I know we've spoken about it before,
but the ruck mim Strom, she set a record fifty
three hit outs. She's incredible, fifty three it's not even
that tour amazing. And the wonderful Gabio Sullivan who booted
the Seiler.
Speaker 2 (05:19):

You see that from fifty absolute.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
I saw her in Subi yesterday and all she said
to me was, we'll beat Adelaide. We'd okay Bladdy at will.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
They got flogged by Adelaide here earlier in the year
because I was at the game they got they got
a bit of revenge.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I did they okay, Well that's how they do well anyway.
There's a bit of audio here, So first it's mim
Strom being interviewed by the wonderful Anna hay who you

that's awesome. Since twenty twenty and you've won in front
of a massive pro crown. How are you feeling? I

Speaker 1 (06:02):
I think it's just pure elation, Like look at the crowd,
look at our girls.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
What a game? Like I'm so excited for next week

much his back and form.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, it's so good. The girls, aren't they. It's just
such enjoyment natural you know not, none of it manufactured,
pure joy.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
And they've got most of them got jobs like you're
talking about.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah, exactly, wonderful.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
They're I'm getting four hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah, that's a good point. They probably earned twelve grand. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I think the highest paid one are in the thirties.
That's thirty thousand something.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
And they're a lot better than me. Emmero driscoll. Fantastic.
After the break, we've got plenty of cricket and there's
a bloke's been stood down for saying something crazy on television.
Hear that.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Okay, you were on two nights on the weekend, wasn't you.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I didn't make a blow thing those days. Agne.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
That's because you're a champion.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
And we're into the cricket too, because obviously the Test
matches here in Perth on November twenty second Friday. It
starts against India and the Indians are arriving today. So
the army, I think you're allowed to say that, that's
what they call themselves. Anywhother army they're going to meet
them out at the airport. And there's a rumor that
Virat Kohli, the gray Manley came in last night.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
He'd be on a private jet. Wuldn't he?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yeah, well get he got the VIP treatment I believe,
didn't come through the fronts the Swamiami no luck and
went out in the limo. Had his kids there with
his family. He was very protective of his children from
the bloody media.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Mate, there's a there's a big Indian community in Perth.
I wonder if I get swamped out at the airport
when they come in. They have to be careful.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
His entire life is being swamped. Even Gilly when he
goes to India's mister Gilly. So they've picked the Aussie
Test team. Nathan McSweeney's the guy who came in for
Dave Warner and we were batting for cam Bancroft, but
it's McSweeney. He doesn't even open for his own statement. Yeah,
so he's in there. It's a life's such about timing,
isn't it. Like at least cam Bancroft. He scored in
(07:53):
almost a thousand runs last year and couldn't get into
the team and this year there's a spot and they
were ready to put him in. They just wanted him
to have one decent innings and he went duck, duck eight, two,
duck sixteen three duck. He had four quackers on the
way through and they just went, we can't put him in.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
What's his average about five or six? Can't put him.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
And so he's missed out and you know, and it
was bizarre. His last opportunity this weekend and playing Australia
is playing India A and Marcus Harris is opening with him.
And this is what happened in the first two balls
straightaway Krishtna around the wicket to Harris, and Harris is
our first ball. Remarkable start here at the MCG Marcus
(08:43):
Harris a golden duck. Krishna now bowling to Bancrofts out.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
It is two in a road, Christa on.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
A hat trick and Indie array.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Iron top said a bit to hand.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Victorian, I like him when Lisa is it got him. Yeah,
so I shouldn't laugh. But jeez, that was terrible for
the poor buggers. Now I wanted to mention the Perth
glory quickly. Poor buggers are in such in a tough spot.
They had a home game last night at HbF Park
in each Perth and they lost five. Neil in Melbourne City.
(09:26):
So it's a tough stan Lazaridis has gone in there.
Let's hope you can lift them out of that funk.
The Wildcat's got beaten too. How was this? So I'm
in the news at halftime. I'm getting ready for the
news and thinking, oh, this is good because it's coming
up to six point thirty or six forty five when
I come on and I'm thinking, I'll just I'll just
whack in it. Now. They're going to be sweet, you know,
put over the shoulder, cat attack, you know, all that
(09:47):
sort of stuff, ready to go, and then they get
absolutely belted in the second half. I come back from
the toilet or getting me makeup and have to change everything.
I'm on the end. You know, myself left me, Ran
has left me. And this bloke called what's his name?
Chris Goulding is a veteran. He scored twenty five points
(10:08):
in the third quarter.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
The boom himself.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah he's got including six three pointers which are very
hard to do. And then he actually scored nine three
pointers out of twenty one ago. So they got they
got beaten.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
SOI reminds me of Andrew Gayz. That bloke Golding he's.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
A very good guy. He stuffed up my dark Yeah great,
he gays women when they won gold, and how emotion
he was.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
He's just one of the greatest sports.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
This bloke, probably not one of the great sports people.
Now it's happened on the Tennis Channel and the Tennis Channel,
and they've just announced dedicated channel that they've stood down
their main analyst, John Wertheim, for an inappropriate comment on air. Now,
the twist and the tail is he didn't think he
was on air. So you know, during the break when
(10:54):
you're getting ready and you're talking to the hosts, and
he made a crack about the check world number thirteen
Barbora Krachikova, and she actually won Wimbledon this year, so
she's a very good player. And he made a crack
about you wait, you're ready for it, the size of
her forehead. So he said something stupid about it. For
it wasn't even stupid. He just was just cracking a
(11:16):
stupid gag and it went to air. He didn't realize
and it went to air and eight million complaints about
casual sexism. And now today they.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Come out, isn't it I think?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Really it's been stood down indefinitely And here's how it
went down. Anyway, what do you think they am for?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Borakva A look at the forehead and young teak the
cord that was basically it look at the forehead. Did
he say hate that or something else?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Eight heads? I don't know it was somehow but it
just went to wear and she's star and obviously.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Definitely for is not sexist.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, but I guess I don't know. You just always
think you guys would know better than anyone. Always believe
the mic is live right. You never swear and stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
And never says the baron's coming in. Next you're seeing
the size of your melon.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Actually of his bonds. I got a big head too,
but you see the size of my giant pillow.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I'm glad you said pillow.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Face.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
