Speaker 1 (00:00):
See one four point seven's Rod and Gabby Forbrecky twenty
minutes until seven o'clock top this afternoon eleven right now,
it is five degrees. That was my fault. I distracted Hayden.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
To the extent that he had lost track of what
was in his actual news by bringing up a twenty
eighteen AFL raised drama focusing on the wives and girlfriends.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
However, he's trying to.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Get across his TV show he's never heard has no
interest in.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
However, the AFL does have a documentary in the works
that will take out access should I say, have exposure
to the rest of the world. Amazon and the AFL
unveiling plans today for the series, with filming due to
start this weekend to the premiere on Prime Video in
two hundred and forty countries and territories worldwide. Disappointingly, not
(00:51):
a third season of Playing for Keeps.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
That is disappointing.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It is a documentary and will I focus on the
footy or the wags? We don't know yet, but I'm gonna.
I'm gonna give yes the footage.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Is this going to be like the Formula one?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I think they would hope?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
So yeah, So everyone's seeing how successful to survive is
that they're like, let's do it about the ANFL. I
don't know if it'll be the same, especially if the
works and girlfriends aren't.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
No, and I'm not there. It's interesting because they've tried
to do it with tennis, and they've tried to do
it with the tos. Well, it's just unwielding, you know
what I mean, Like you've got you've got so many
different athletes and I get on paper, you go, oh,
this person's got potential to you know, win the whatever.
Let's focus on them. But if they're not an enigmatic personality,
(01:35):
there's a reason the drive to survive began the very
very very very start all those years ago with Daniel Riccard.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Absolutely, you've got to have that star.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
And you know that is harder to do. Can you
imagine with the AFL, with the hundreds and hundreds and
hundreds of players across this comp how do you identify
that person? And then it's all been well to say
this person's a bit of a character on the park,
but it doesn't mean they're going to be interesting in
a documentary series.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Good luck to think you don't optimistic like to Prime
Video I'm sure that's going to be a tremendous success.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Okay, so this is this is this is part of
the twenty five years in review thing that's going on
this week with all the polls and the research news
dot com right and today they're asking the question who
is the biggest waste of talents in Australian sport for
the twenty first century? Which is harsh, but it's a
good question because unfortunately we've got some fantastic contenders.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah, we're known to have athletes who have such potential
and you can see them reaching lofty heights, but yes,
they don't always get there for various reasons.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Look, Nick Curious is the obvious front runner because yes,
he has made that Wimbledon final. Yes, when he's on
he beats world number ones. But he's the one who
has said out loud, look, I just like being comfortable. Quote,
I just like being comfortable. End quote.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
He has that natrual talent that is so phenomenal, but
it's not necessarily enough. Well, you've got to have the
drive and motivation behind it in order to reach the.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Peak, to be consistent and win these Grand Slams. You
can't just win a game. You can't just win two
or three, you win this whole tournament. Blah blah blah.
So obviously he's a nominee, but before you cast your
vote or one of the other nominees, burn it.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Tom Oh yeah, I forgot about that guy, right. Remember
he was in Army selebrity to get me out of
here for five seconds. He literally bailed on the first day.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
He's been in a few of those reality shows, and
I think when you look at your athletes and go
have they met their potential and they haven't retired and
then done the reality TV show circuit, Yeah, I think
that tells you all you need to know. He was
the youngest male player to reach a quarter final at Wimbledon.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Wow. So when you talk.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
About potential, not meant I don't think there's any gray area.
But could he have? Yeah? Maybe Ben Simmons. You know
Ben Simmons.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Mmm, I know the name. No, No, not basketball, Yes,
oh it is basketball.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Number one draft picking the NBA. The young assie goes
over there year one night, go here's twenty million dollars.
We want your face on our staff. Lebron James says, quote,
you have an opportunity to be better than me. This
is Lebron James. Some people think he's the greatest.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Took the twenty mil and went that he.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Was traveling well.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
And then he he date one of the Kardashians.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Yes, yeah, he had it all. And then he was
deep in the playoff series against Atlanta, Game seven, and
he went up to tie the scores deep in the
fourth and he froze and instead of dunking the ball,
he then just dished it off to a guy one
of his teammates standing there going why have you given
the ball to me? Oh, and he's never recovered. Oh no,
(04:55):
which is yeah, it's yeah, yeah, it's sad. So but
he's an nominee. Okay, another nominee, Ash Barty No Ah, well, okay,
I get it of her game.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
And I get it. She went out on a high.
She then started a family and she's doing her own
thing now. Yes, I understand her reasoning as to why
she did what she did, but you're probably right she
probably did have a lot more in her and but yeah,
that's fine. She made that call.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Compared to the other contenders, I don't think she can
take this out there. No, because she's world number one
one of all the tournaments Israelphi Lau. Yeah, oh yeah,
I mean could have could have done anything and decided
to sweep. I mean switching codes between the leagues and
in the union guys, it's fine. Switching codes to AFL
(05:45):
was an interesting Yes, he's an incredible athlete, but absolutely underdone.
So should be in the conversation the big Brendan Favola.
He's at the Breakfast show down there in melbourneev Yes,
but again, when you should be running around play footy
and you've got the Breakfast show down there in Melbourne,
that might tell you.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I feel it, but I feel like you know, he's
successful in a different area, So that's okay.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
It's a good point. I don't think you reached his
potential as far as sport AFL. Jared Haynes, at the
height of his powers, decided to go and try NFL
in America.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah, and then there was a lot of other.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Things he yes, absolutely wasted potential. Canberra raided Todd Carney
making the list today we don't even need to.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Well he's married to a married at first sight gal.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Now, well maybe he has made I don't know, some
idea and then finally could Daniel Ricardo have been a.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
World for Yeah, I reckon Daniel Ricardo's in the conversation.
For sure. He made some poor decisions changing team. He
certainly did, and it really bumped him out of the competitions.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
So there's no question that he is regretful, you know,
all right? So you know who am I clicking here
and I'll tell you where the votes nationally are up to?
Who am I giving the vote to?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Nick?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Nick? Hero? Here we go. I'm going to I'm going
to see how Australia has voted thus far with all
those nominees most wasted talent for the last twenty five
years in Australia, casting the vote for Nick and he
is dominating. He's absolutely dominating. Todd Cunney has one percent. Yeah,
(07:28):
Ash Party has nine percent, Jared Haynes three, Brendan Favola one,
Danny Rick only three percent, Israel Phil Our five percent,
A tomic he's mate. He's got double figures with thirteen percent,
Ben Simmons twenty three. But a dominant Nick Curios at
thirty eight has taken this out today. Well done, Camera,
(07:48):
we done. We've got a win.
See one four point seven's Rod and Gabby Forbrecky twenty
