Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Super Serious Sports Show with Chris Carmen and Adam Jansen.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Once more into the breach we go and I asked
Adam Sherlock Jansen, what's caught your eye on the world
of sport in the last seven days? Sherlock, I was
on short notes. I hadn't thought of anything on the
way in anyway, Yes, anything other than the Matilda.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Now I was about to say, is there is there
anything other than Matilda's. Well, there has to be, because
we've got to do a full show.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
But the Matilda, Matilda's, the Matilda's, the Matilda's and more
Matilda's and maybe even some Matilda's coming up on this
edition of The Super Serious Sports Show. Well, despite the
threat of a public holiday that I'm sure business owners
across the country will be thrilled about. Of Australia do
win the whole thing? Are the Matilda's band Bacon just
rolls on, more and more people getting on board them
in the Women's World Cup and even more excitement now
(00:49):
that Sam Kurz actually set foot on the field. There's
so much we could talk about. What do you want
to talk about with regard to the Matilda's. I mean
it was a clinical win over the Danes and the
second time in as many World Cups Men's and Women's
that Australia has eliminated Denmark.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I thought Australia were outstanding the other night. They were
great in the game before they were awful against was
it Nigeria?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah, it was just a flat game.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
And they were pretty ordinary in the first game as
well against against Ireland. But now that the World Cup
is getting to the towards the business end, they're really
showing some form.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Look I've said this before and you hate me saying it,
but you know, especially until it was not the World Cup.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
It's not how you start, tell you finish exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
You know, as long as you get through that first
bit when the pressure is on, you're going to be
able to turn it up.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
And the Matilda's did.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Some countries handle pressure better than others? The US is
obviously not one of those countries. Have you seen the
video campaign that they did with the American team and
about it had featured every other country and about how
none of them were a chance of beating America.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah? Who beat them? Well, they beat themselves in the end.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Who knocked them out?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Sweden swedenes FA by a millimeter. It was one of
the most glorious VARs I've ever seen. I've never seen
var gone to an a penalty shootout before. Did the
ball cross the line entirely? Yes, it did by one millimeter.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
It's all it takes.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
It's all takes matter if you.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Win by a millimeter or a mile.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
American sports fans, and I use that term very very loosely.
There are some Americans, it's probably a better way of
putting it, have turned in a most ugly way on
Team USA. They they're expected to win, weren't they They were,
But there's been all sorts of other stuff in their
you know, the woke team.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
You know, they focused more on social issues than football.
Maybe it's just that they weren't good enough this time around,
but you know it was I got beat by a
millimeter in a penalty shootout. Yeah, quality side pedally shootouts
are always always a lottery.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Had England on the verge of going out in their
match against Nigeria the other day, Yeah, haven't.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
The Australian men's team got a pretty good record in
penalty shootouts.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I feel like they do probably, Yeah, with with what's
his name, the gray wiggle. Oh yeah, the gray wiggle, Yeah, exactly. Anyway,
there's eight left in the Women's World Cup. Australia is
one of them. May play France this weekend. We'll get
to that in a second. The order I have is
the order on the official website, So we start at
the top and work our way down. Spain versus the Netherlands.
(03:18):
You are Dutch somewhere up your heritage.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Don't you.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, my dad's Dutch.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Okay, there you go, not far up your heritage at all.
So are you are you on? Are you on with
the Orange Army from the Netherlands?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I am for two reasons, okay, One because you know
I've got Dutch heritage. The other thing too, I've got
him in the work sweep.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Oh okay, all right, so you're on with the Dutch.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I'm a little bit worried though, because I've just pulled
up the world rankings. Who are they playing Spain?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Spain? Spain are six, okay, Dutch are nine okay, don't
laugh and nice yep.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
So but I'm still going to go with the Dutch,
all right, despite the fact they are ranked. Three games
they've both been very impressive team so out, so far throughout.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
The World Cup. It's a cracking quarter final. When's that on?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
What are you doing on Friday at eleven in the
morning camera time?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Working? Then fact chance watching it?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I can't are you serious?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
That's a really bizarre scheduling decision. They're going to play
the quarterfinals Friday, and even in New Zealand where the
game is being played at Wellington, it's being played at
one o'clock in the afternoon local time. That's weird. I
did say there was last week there was some weird
scheduling about it. That's right up there.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Well, I've got a fee for World Cup game to
pay attention to at eleven o'clock on Friday. We're also
calling an NROLW game at eleven o'clock on Saturday. So
we've got a big a couple of busy mornings of sport.
Let's go to the next game.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
The next game is on Friday night, also in New Zealand.
This one's in Auckland. It is Japan versus Sweden. Who
wins out.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Of that Sweden because they knocked out the US.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Okay, so Sweden is your tournament favorite now, no, okay?
On Saturday, the two matches taking part in Australia at
Lang Park in Brisbane, and I note that some outlets
have now started calling at lang Park instead of Brisbane
Stadium or Meanngin Stadium. That's where Australia plays France. That's
a five o'clock Saturday afternoon game. Does the rest of
the world stop or does the rest of the country
(05:14):
stop for two hours while this one's on?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, it's going very quiet at the shops at five
o'clock on Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Usually the pubs will be full.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
The shops are usually pretty quiet at five o'clock on
a Saturday afternoon. I've got to be honest.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Grocery shops maybe anyway, ghost Town?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Can I can I get poetic?
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Here?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Is France? Any chance? Boom boom?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yes, Okay, Unfortunately it's a huge game. It is a
huge game. France had a very comprehensive win last night.
But we're going to go with Australia.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Will Sam Kurse start? Will she come off the bench?
What's the tactic? What would you do if you Attorney
Gustafson start her? I would start her and say, look,
let's see how you go. When you start, you might get.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Sixty minutes but yeah, I would start her. You don't
want to. You don't want France to go one or
two nil and then have to bring Sam Kerhr on
and then go do your best.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
It's knockout footy, get in front, parked the bus. And
on the subject of parking the bus, will England be
able to park the bus in.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Front of Columbia?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Now Columbia are going to win.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
That one's at Stadium Australia in Sydney, So that's.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah, I'm on Columbia in a shootout.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
That'd be That would be exciting.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, I reckon, I reckon, it'll go. I know we
don't do predictions on this show anymore.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
No, but one all, one all in in in regular
time and so one all at the end of ninety minutes,
one all at the end of extra time and Columbia
to win in a shootout.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Okay, that'll be exciting.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Would also continue a miserable sporting year for England, although
Australia beating England in the semi final would also be spectacular.
Something that doesn't stop for any other sport because it
thinks it is the be's knees in the world of
sport is the Australian Football League. The top teams are
a wee bit wobbly. Aj one of them is indeed
on the back end of a four game losing streak.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Port Adelaide didn't I tell you about three or four
weeks ago that they were pretenders?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Well versus GWS this weekend Suddenly it becomes a massively
important game for both of those sides.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It's the twenty twenty two Grand Final as I predicted
it predicted by Chris Coleman.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Sure it's happening in round twenty something in twenty twenty three,
but neither side made the final exactly. Yeah, neither of
last year's Grand finalists could could make the eighth this
year that's still a possibility. Just wants to make it
you reckon, yeah, Swanies. The top teams have the wobbles,
though it's too early. It is not Collie Wobble season
(07:35):
just yet. Collie Wobble season, as everyone knows, is September.
But Collingwood have decidedly looked wobbly the last couple of
weeks and losing to Hawthorne. Dear, dear well, Nick Deekos
has got a wobbly knee now so he's out for
about six weeks.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Yeah, I think Collingwood might be in trouble.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
You know who, in all seriousness, you know who who
I think is the favorite?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Who is the favorite? Now? Who do you put up there?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
The Melbourne Demons been winning without Clayton Oliver. I think
Clayton Oliver is back very very soon. Petrarca has been
absolutely fantastic. Jack Viney's been amazing as well. They've got depth,
they've got talent. They won a competition not even two
years ago. I think the Melbourne Demons are the favorites.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Have They also had the advantage that because Collingwood was
going so well, because Port Adelaide was winning games left,
right and center and had that long winning streak, because
Brisbane's been a behemoth up there at the Gabba have
they rather unusually for a team based out of Victoria,
have been able to go a little bit behind the scenes,
a little bit under the radar, while other teams have
(08:37):
done great things. While GWS had a seven game winning streak, well,
Carlton has been the best team in footy in the
past ten weeks.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, the Melbourne Demons have been hiding in playing sight.
They've been there all year. They're up to I think
second on the competition ladder. Now the port Adelaide were,
now they're not. I really like the Demons, and like
you always say, Chris Colemon's.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
You finished, you finished, Yeah, but you've tipped them now,
so they're in all sorts of trouble. Speaking of people
you've tipped, you're gonna have to come up with a
new Brownlows selection because I don't think Nick Daekos is
going to be able to get enough votes to get
over the line. Who are gonna with the mos on?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Now?
Speaker 1 (09:12):
It's really really hard to get brown Low votes when
you're not playing it is, so he's still a third favorite.
So if Petrarca and Bontopelly either get injured or don't
have a great last few weeks or get suspended, then
Deekos is still a chance. It's a flip of the
coin between bontoon Pelly and Petrarca. Bontom Pelly would have
(09:33):
got three votes the other night. He was outstanding. I
didn't see the Demon's game. I do know they were
losing to the Kangaroos early, but Petrarca's been fantastic as well.
It'll be one of those two.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Carlton the real deal or not, yes or no, big answer. Yeah,
I think they are.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
They could think they can see them getting I can
see them getting into a prelim or a Grand Final.
I still think the Demons are the favorites, but I
would have Collingwood's second favorite, and then to be honest,
probably have Carlton next. I'm not convinced. The problem that
the Brisbane Lions have got is that it is not
twenty and twenty, so the Grand Final is not going
(10:09):
to be played at the Gabba.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
We've got a couple of things. I thinks very quickly
to look at the Swan's beat the Giants the other day.
I know you saw Nulla, I know you saw ye.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I was at a pub and they had they had
the Geelong Port game on one screen and they had
the Sharks Rabbito's game on the other.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
It's another game for the Giants where one bad quarter
has cost them. Same as in Round two against the Eagles,
same as in Round four against Essendon, same as in
Round three against Carlton.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
There's been so many games.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Where the Giants have cost themselves victory with one poor
quarter and the Swan's accurate kicking did help. They think
they had eleven straight at half time and it's been
a long time since the side's done that.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
That's been a problem for the Swans this year. Of course,
they butchered a game. I think it was against Geelong
Robbie Fox. I think mister a very easy shot at goal.
But it'd be really nice to see a final series
with both Sydney teams in it.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
It'd be awesome.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I was swansa borter, but actually I really like the
Giants side. Want the Giants to get there.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
You're a very rare breed amongst Swan supporters, very quickly
talk that Dangerfield should be on the AFL commission while
still playing in the past twenty four hours. Do you
think there should be a current player on the AFL
commission helping to run the competition. Do you think it's
a good idea or a bad idea in principle not
talking about Patrick Danesfield per se an active player as
(11:23):
part of the commission.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
What do you reckon now? I don't mind it. I
think it's not a bad idea.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I mean, if we get to the if all of
a sudden they come out with a new way to
run the competition and the majority of the games are
scheduled at Kidinneia Park, then we've got a problem.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Gelong get twenty home games this season. Something's wrong there?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Can the Grand Finals been moved? No, I don't mind it,
Gelong get with it.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
No.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I think it's a great idea. I'm necessarily I think
it could be a rotating position every year. Anyway, that's
an interesting part. But yeah, I mean Gelong wouldn't get
twenty home games at Kidney Park because they're not Collingwood,
who'd get twenty home games in Melbourne every year. Damian
Hardwick to coach the Gold Coast potentially, if you were
a Richmond and would you be livid?
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Would you be filthy? Would you just go, oh well
move on? No?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
He coached. He coached three premierships at Richmond.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
It quit a few months ago because he'd lost the passion,
lost the fire, and now the Gold Coaster coming after
him with a reported five year term.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I went to the Gold Coast few weeks ago. The
weather is delightful. I went to their stadium too, where
the sun's play. It's nice.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
It's a nice stadium.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah, they got really good hot Dogs there. Yeah I
didn't anyway, So Damian Hardwick take the job, get the
hot Dogs.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
And Luke sue he has retired or announced his retirement.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
He has been a rough couple of years for the
West Coast Eagles. But Luke Swey part of that premiership
side in twenty eighteen and yeah, pretty good career. I
think there might be a couple more retirements coming out
of the West.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Coast egu It might be a very big clean outcoming. Yeah,
not too far away. The Super Serious Sports show the point.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
The end of the NRL season. Not too far away.
Both those grand finals are on the same weekend this year.
I love it when that happens. When you get the
AFL and the NRL Grand Final on the same weekend,
doesn't happen as often as it used to.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So I'll have the AFL Grand Final on the Saturday,
the thirtieth of September. We'll have the NRLW Grand Final
on the Sunday afternoon and then the NRL Grand Final
on the Sunday night.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Yeah, I need to stock up my fridge. Good plan.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Wade Graham, Let's start with that giant of the game
with his club has pulled the plug after. Actually, I'll
show you this because I saved this page because I
knew you would get a laugh out of this if
I go to this and here you go.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
There it is there.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Sixteen year NRL great announces his retirement and then down
here what does it say here bringing to an end
a glittering seen year career. Congratulations Way Graham. Two hundred
plus games.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Two hundred and ninety two NRL games.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
He won't be a three hundred game player.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Is he playing this weekend? Four games left? Four and
then four? He could?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
He could?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
He's not going to bet he could. So forty two
games for the Penrith Panthers, two hundred and fifty games
for the Kernala Sharks. Just for the record, it was
the sixteen years that was correct, not the.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Hec thirteen years with the Sharks would be my guess.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah, so eight games for Australia, six games for New
South Wales. Won a premiership of course with the Cronella
Sharks in twenty sixteen. He's had a pretty good career
away Graham. I think he's played a couple of years
too long, and I think most Cronulla fans agree he's
transitioned into the middle of the field hasn't quite worked.
He almost looks a little bit like a liability. But
at his peak he was one of the Premierre left
(14:26):
edge fours. He had the passing game, the kicking game.
He was special because he came through the grades as
a five eight, very big five eight, but a five eight.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Pretty sure he won't have any problems picking up media work. Nay,
be fine, He'll be sweet. Speaking of former players in
the media, Corey Parker has come out and said that
the Camera Raiders will not win another game for the
remainder of the season, or as many of us are
calling it, doing a twenty twenty two version of the Broncos.
Who you know, glass Houses Cory, just just be aware
(14:55):
of that. Here is the Camera Raiders draw for the
remainder of the twenty twenty three season twenty four this
Sunday at Amy Park in Melbourne. The Raiders take on
the Melbourne Storm. I note that the betting agency here
has the Melbourne Storm at a dollar twenty three of
the Camber Raiders at four dollars twenty Do the Raiders
win there? I mean the Raiders have the best record
of any team other than the storm at Amy Park.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Ugh. Yeah, these are the ones they win, the ones
they're not meant to win in Melbourne, they're the ones
they win.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Would you be taking the Raiders and the Tipping comp
this week?
Speaker 4 (15:24):
No?
Speaker 3 (15:25):
There you go the week after.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I in front. I want to stay in front.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Round twenty five Sunday afternoon, twentieth of August at Geo Stadium,
four o'clock Sunday afternoon, The Raiders versus the Canterbury Bulldogs.
I would like to remind you that the Canterby Bulldogs
I have to scroll down when I get to the
er or ladder and find them in fifteenth with seven wins.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
When was the last time the Bulldogs were good?
Speaker 3 (15:49):
When did they last win the competition?
Speaker 1 (15:51):
They last made a Grand Final in twenty fourteen. They
last won a competition in two thousand and four. They
did make the twenty twelve Grand Finals.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
So they were good between two thousand and four and
twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah, I don't remember them being good since then?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Do the Raiders win that game? Yes, you'd think Sir
Corey Parker will therefore be wrong. And then in the
final round round oh sorry, the's two round the show
goes in twenty seven. Round twenty six, the Raiders host
the Broncos Surday night at JO and round twenty seven
Sunday afternoon at Shark Park.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
They'll lose that one, yeah, because it'd be Wad grimes
last game potentially.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah. Yeah, although Coronella one on the weekend. Cronulla have
repositioned themselves quite nicely to make the finals. But yeah,
I think the Raiders will beat the Broncos down at Goo.
It's not working that night. I get to stay at
home and put my feet up and enjoy a enjoy
a cold beer, have some pizza and watch the Raiders win.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
The Raiders realistically only need one more to lock in
a place in the eight. Two would be safe, but
one more gets them in.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Three gets them into the top four.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Three gets me to the top four.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
But especially if it's one of them's this weekend.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
We'll win this weekend they're in the top four. Yes,
it's that simple. They win this weekend, they'll be on
thirty two points. More will be on thirty. But yeah,
I don't think I'll be taking them in the tipping
comp either.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Fun fact about this weekend, I've had a few people
send this to me over the last couple of days.
So Ethan Strange make his debut for the Raiders.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
How cool is that?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
So this weekend this is cool. Ethan Strange will make
his debut for the Camperaders.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Ricky Stewart showing faith in one of the one of
the local juniors. It's great, well local on the books juniors.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yeah, yeah, we got him off the Rooster's books though
he was at the Roosters. Speaking of the Roosters, Yes,
his dad, John Strange, is the Rooster's nrl W coach.
Ethan's sister Jasmine So, Jasmine Strange is a winger for
the Newcastle Knights nrl W side.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
And that's the first is it first? That's the son
and daughter triumvirate.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yep, being involved in the inner so combo of the
NRL nrl W.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Ever aj you said at this point in the program,
you have a large red button in front of that
you want to press. Are you ready to press the
large red button?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yes? On the Super serious sports show is Carrigan White.
What the hell is that doing?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Then?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
What are we doing that for?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
You said last week was the last ever.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
I thought that had been stuck in the bin. I'd
got rid of it. You've you've attached it to the
to the like some judge on the voice. You've hit
the button and away it goes way.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Carrigan has turned into a tri scoring machine, Chris Common.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
He has here.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
After not scoring for seventy eight games or whatever it was,
he's scored two weeks in a row.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
If he does, if he keeps going at that rate,
by the time he gets to one hundred and fifty
odd games, he will have scored in fifty percent of
his games.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Well, we'll keep doing Carrigan watched for every week that
he scores in consecutive weeks. So this might be the
last Carrigan watch. But how good is that it doesn't
score a try for his entire career?
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Habit for me two weeks.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
In a row on.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
We go to the nrl W. There's just so much
good stuff going on in the NROLW. And a massive
thumbs up to the Canberra Raiders. Two weeks in a
row they've knocked over high fancied opposition. If you're not
watching the NROLW, seriously give yourself an uppercut, go and
check it out. It is great and it's on Freewawyre
Television and if you're in Canberra you can listen to
(19:02):
the Raiders games on Mix one oh six point three,
which we will be calling again this Saturday. Eleven o'clock
in the morning Saturday is an unusual start for a
national level sports competition.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Though.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, I'm gonna need a coffee. That's early for me.
It's very early fine on Saturday. Yeah, yeah, but I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I've done baseball games that have started at ten and
eleven o'clock in the morning, but you know that's usually
a game has been rescheduled or whatever. Anyway, that's this weekend.
But there's plenty going on. I have something that I
want to throw in, but I'll let you lead the
way on something. Anything that you want to throw out
there at the moment, who or what has caught your eye.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I was watching the Broncos game the other day, Mille Hufunger. Yeah,
for the Brisbane Broncos. Four tries before the fiftieth minute mark.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
That's not a bad effort. She is incredible.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
She is an incredibly powerfully built human being. Moves like
a dance.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
It's incredible to watch.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
She's just an amazing athlete.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Got a step, got a change of pace, has great
ball skills as well, not just not just in taking
the ball and charging up, but it's shown a couple
of death little passes as well.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Well, she gave up passing the ball after try number
three the other day and just wouldn't you and just
and just basically went, nah, I'm just going to score
the try. I felt bad for the person who had
to defend her the other day, and I thought, now
I feel bad for the young Raiders right center Mackenzie Wiki.
(20:41):
And I don't want to cast any dispersions, but I
suggested that it might not be a bad time for
McKenzie Wiki to get injured. Mackenzie Wicki's injured.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
And the Raiders she's out for what three weeks? They
reckon three weeks and the Raiders happened to play the
Broncos in three weeks time, so.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
That anyway, But hopefully Mackenzie can get back on the field,
because Mackenzie has been outstanding for the Raiders so far.
But ah, she's going to have a handsful that day.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Nrl W prior to this season had never had a
player sent off. There's now been two players that sent
off Kennedy Cherrington for Paramatta, copped four weeks.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Four weeks so she was referred straight to the judiciary.
She pled guilty. It just goes from bad to worse
for Paramatta. Kennedy Sherrington, the star player of the Paramatta
side who have been struggling last year's Grand finalists, and
she's been rubbed out for four weeks. I said it
during her call the other day that it was one
of the most bizarre sendoffs I've ever seen. The referee
called her over, there was no arguments, that was like
(21:39):
I'm sorry, fair enough, and then when she got stand
off she ran off.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Yeah, she apologized. She had apologized on field. Bad tackle,
a bad tackle. And I know this may not be
a popular opinion here. I don't know whether in the
current structure of the NLW, I don't know whether four
weeks is the right punishment because.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Week suspension in the men's competition, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Well, there's a nine week regular competition the nl double,
so it's a third of the So it's more than that,
it's four out of nine, it's nearly half. It's forty
four percent. So in a twenty seven week NRL competition,
it would be about eleven or twelve weeks. It would
be a ten or eleven game, allowing for buyers.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
It's a big suspension.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
It was a huge it was a bad tackle.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I don't know how you get it right, and I
know the AFL had to pardon the part had to
tackle this issue in the AFLW a couple of years
ago for the similar reasons. The shorter season and suspensions
have more impact. But it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Well, I don't think it's I don't think Paramatta got
too much to worry about. They're not making the finals.
That Paramatta team has been beaten from pillar to post
in every game so far.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Huge four from grace for that.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
It is for a side that, although I was saying
to somebody else here at work this morning, Paramatta with
four new teams coming into the NRLW, Paramatta's squad was
one of the teams that kind of got picked apart.
Newcastle was the other. And you only have to look
at the Raiders RLW side who's two from three. Ash
Quinlan the halfback, Sammama Taufer, the lockforward and co captain
(23:08):
of the Raiders were part of that Paramatta side last year.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Indeed moving along to the other side of the world.
We need to put it in somewhere here. We may
as well do this now. The English Premier League starts
this weekend. I note that Spurs played a friendly against Barcelona.
Was for some trophy or other that Barcelona Alona played
for on an annual basis. They put it up for
challenge and Spurs went over and Spurs were great. They
came from one nil down to lead to one and
(23:33):
then gave away a goal to be equalized and then
a goal in the ninetieth minute, the goal in injury
time to lose at four to against Barcelona. Spurs go
into a game this weekend against Brentford as loosely speaking,
favorites at two dollars thirty or thereabouts on the betting markets,
Brentford at two ninety in a drawers three fifty.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Do you remember when Leicester City won won the title
from five hundred to one.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
I think might have been even a thousand at one stage,
but anyway, y, yes, five thousand, that's true, that's possible.
Silly betting odds.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Yeah, yeah, Fulham five hundred to one, you're getting on it.
Oh maybe maybe there's several I'll tell you what more
than according to sports.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Bed, there there are worse. There are worse prospects.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
No, there's no worse.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Oh okay, So Fulham a favored to finish last, but.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
They have eleven of the twenty teams paying five hundred
to one.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Okay, equal last.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Yeah, yeah they don't. They've got it wrong though, because
Tottenham an't one of those eleven.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
So what have they got? Spurs at thirty four. I've
gone on at sixty seven before and was appointed. So
there you go.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Manchester City and Burnley first game, seventh favorite Tottenham.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Well that's that's about accurate.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I think it's a bit high.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Okay, Manchester City at Burnley to start things off. Arsenal
host Nottingham. Forest Fulham this week at Everton, which is
always a tough assign at Goodison Park, a difficult place
to go to when.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
It hasn't only just survived last season.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
There'll be a tougher side this season. I can't see
them being as bad this year as they were year.
It's about this time every year, aj as the Magpie
starts swooping in Australia, that I start to realize that
we are on the verge of what is almost without exception,
(25:14):
the best sporting month of the year. We're getting into September.
September when you've got the AFL finals, the NL finals,
the A League starts to warm up, the English Premier
League is underway, the NFL is there, the Major League
Baseball gets towards the point end where it comes down
towards the post season. I just love this time of
(25:34):
year because there's so much sport to keep an eye on.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
There is there is, and I get a lot of
my sporting news. You're going to laugh at this through Instagram.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
If you'd said TikTok, that would have been the very
end of this program in a matter of seconds. I'll
allow Instagram.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I don't know what TikTok is or Snapchat or x
any of those ones, but it's still Twitter.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
I don't care what alone is. It's still Twitter.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
So I follow Pat McAfee the Pat McAfee Show on Instagram.
Usually they have a lot of football content. Course put
Pat McAfee, former former punter for the Indianapolis Colts, now
hosts a radio show Slash Podcast Slash just social Media
Thing and baseball. Chris Coleman, why did baseball.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Make it onto the McAfee show.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Because someone got knocked the out?
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Oh okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
What happened between the White Sox and the Guardians.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Punch is worth thrown? Something was said, punch is worthrown.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
He's squared up. He's squared up like he was in
an official fight.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
And then guard and then and I'm doing the guard
right now.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
You are.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
I can talk because you went off Mike for a
second while you were doing it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
So he's got he's got into the he's got into
the the what do you call it stance? I should
know this. I did a bit of muy Thai training.
He's got into a fighting still South poor, he's in
the other one. Okay, orthodox orthodox stance. Yeah, guard up.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Up ready, and.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
He got knocked.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Yep, by.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
A bit of a wild Haymaker swing. It's baseball, Chris Coleman.
It this ain't hockey.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
No, no, you don't. You don't go to baseball expecting
fights to happen. And benches.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Look, the benches do clear from time to time, more
often than more often than not. It's because you know
a picture has done something, or a batter has done something.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
This happened and on the base parts if I'm remembering right.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yeah, what even happened?
Speaker 3 (27:34):
I don't know, mouth and off at each other. All
I've seen is is what you've seen. You know, I've
seen the he's just squared up and then he's out. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Yeah, speaking of baseball, very quick mention because it started
in the early hours of today or they got delayed
by some pretty crap weather. The Women's Baseball World Cup
is on. Australia is one of the top nations worldwide
whereusiness baseball. It's in Canada. Cool and bad weather delayed
the game a little bit. Australia playing the US, went
(28:04):
down three to two, had the tying runner actually thrown
out at home in the ninth with a chance to
tie the game up and take it into extras. I
want to give a huge mention to Shaye Lilly White,
who I have seen play. She is a star of
the game. There have been nine Women's baseball World Cups.
She has represented Australia at all nine. So really, yeah,
(28:26):
however do they play a World Cup every couple of years? Yea,
But she's she's she's a star and.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
So what is it like a little round robin and
then you and then you get through to like a
knockout start.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
You've got your pool and I think it goes through
to it like a super six. I think a super round.
We carry your results against other teams that go through
and then yeah, and then you get into it.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
But oh, let's let's check in on that again next week.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
I've tride a huge chance to go deep into that one.
And a loss, a loss to the USA is not
the end of the world. You don't want to know
they like baseball, but also it's not how you start
to see you finish.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
And remember there's no crying in baseball. There's no crying
in baseball.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
And I said, the NFL is about to hit, and
you have again. I love this when you give me
the cryptic message, just ask me this, like before ask
you to press the red button. That's the last time
that'll be happening. You've said, ask me to mention the
Detroit Lions. Why am I mentioning the Detroit Lions in
this segment Because despite the fact that they've got the
(29:26):
season opener, that's why, oh why, okay, right.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
I just love that it's the season opener and the
Detroit Lions are playing it. When can you last remember
the Lions playing in a big season opener, or a
big playoff game or a big like this Lions team
are for real this year?
Speaker 3 (29:46):
You sure?
Speaker 4 (29:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Okay, yeah, that's why they're playing first.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
They're up against the Kansas City Chiefs, who have been
for real for the last couple of years.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
They've been real ever since they trusted Patrick Mahomes. Like
I said, the last couple of years, Homes went from memory.
I think he was the eleventh picking whatever draft it was.
How do you feel other ten teams the Lions were
probably one, Probably were they probably they're usually picking pretty early.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Cleveland were probably in there as well. Yeah, we'll go back.
We'll look at that later.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
The NFL it's still a couple weeks away, but there's
some preseason stuff on as well, if you want to
start getting yourself.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
They didn't take Baker Mayfield that year, did they.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
We'll talk about it later. We're done for this week.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
It might have been the Trabitsky year at Chicago when
he went second. I'll try in. We're done now, AJ,
I'm excited about the NFL.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Now. Season doesn't start till the eighth of September so well,
seventh in America. So Lions, catch up with you next week, mate.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Okay amplify CB
The Super Serious Sports Show with Chris Carmen and Adam Jansen.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Once more into the breach we go and I asked
Adam Sherlock Jansen, what's caught your eye on the world
of sport in the last seven days? Sherlock, I was
on short notes. I hadn't thought of anything on the
way in anyway, Yes, anything other than the Matilda.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Now I was about to say, is there is there
anything other than Matilda's. Well, there has to be, because
we've got to do a full show.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
But the Matilda, Matilda's, the Matilda's, the Matilda's and more
Matilda's and maybe even some Matilda's coming up on this
edition of The Super Serious Sports Show. Well, despite the
threat of a public holiday that I'm sure business owners
across the country will be thrilled about. Of Australia do
win the whole thing? Are the Matilda's band Bacon just
rolls on, more and more people getting on board them
in the Women's World Cup and even more excitement now
(00:49):
that Sam Kurz actually set foot on the field. There's
so much we could talk about. What do you want
to talk about with regard to the Matilda's. I mean
it was a clinical win over the Danes and the
second time in as many World Cups Men's and Women's
that Australia has eliminated Denmark.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I thought Australia were outstanding the other night. They were
great in the game before they were awful against was
it Nigeria?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah, it was just a flat game.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
And they were pretty ordinary in the first game as
well against against Ireland. But now that the World Cup
is getting to the towards the business end, they're really
showing some form.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Look I've said this before and you hate me saying it,
but you know, especially until it was not the World Cup.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
It's not how you start, tell you finish exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
You know, as long as you get through that first
bit when the pressure is on, you're going to be
able to turn it up.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
And the Matilda's did.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Some countries handle pressure better than others? The US is
obviously not one of those countries. Have you seen the
video campaign that they did with the American team and
about it had featured every other country and about how
none of them were a chance of beating America.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah? Who beat them? Well, they beat themselves in the end.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Who knocked them out?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Sweden swedenes FA by a millimeter. It was one of
the most glorious VARs I've ever seen. I've never seen
var gone to an a penalty shootout before. Did the
ball cross the line entirely? Yes, it did by one millimeter.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
It's all it takes.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
It's all takes matter if you.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Win by a millimeter or a mile.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
American sports fans, and I use that term very very loosely.
There are some Americans, it's probably a better way of
putting it, have turned in a most ugly way on
Team USA. They they're expected to win, weren't they They were,
But there's been all sorts of other stuff in their
you know, the woke team.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
You know, they focused more on social issues than football.
Maybe it's just that they weren't good enough this time around,
but you know it was I got beat by a
millimeter in a penalty shootout. Yeah, quality side pedally shootouts
are always always a lottery.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Had England on the verge of going out in their
match against Nigeria the other day, Yeah, haven't.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
The Australian men's team got a pretty good record in
penalty shootouts.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I feel like they do probably, Yeah, with with what's
his name, the gray wiggle. Oh yeah, the gray wiggle, Yeah, exactly. Anyway,
there's eight left in the Women's World Cup. Australia is
one of them. May play France this weekend. We'll get
to that in a second. The order I have is
the order on the official website, So we start at
the top and work our way down. Spain versus the Netherlands.
(03:18):
You are Dutch somewhere up your heritage.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Don't you.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, my dad's Dutch.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Okay, there you go, not far up your heritage at all.
So are you are you on? Are you on with
the Orange Army from the Netherlands?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I am for two reasons, okay, One because you know
I've got Dutch heritage. The other thing too, I've got
him in the work sweep.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Oh okay, all right, so you're on with the Dutch.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I'm a little bit worried though, because I've just pulled
up the world rankings. Who are they playing Spain?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Spain? Spain are six, okay, Dutch are nine okay, don't
laugh and nice yep.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
So but I'm still going to go with the Dutch,
all right, despite the fact they are ranked. Three games
they've both been very impressive team so out, so far throughout.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
The World Cup. It's a cracking quarter final. When's that on?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
What are you doing on Friday at eleven in the
morning camera time?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Working? Then fact chance watching it?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I can't are you serious?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
That's a really bizarre scheduling decision. They're going to play
the quarterfinals Friday, and even in New Zealand where the
game is being played at Wellington, it's being played at
one o'clock in the afternoon local time. That's weird. I
did say there was last week there was some weird
scheduling about it. That's right up there.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Well, I've got a fee for World Cup game to
pay attention to at eleven o'clock on Friday. We're also
calling an NROLW game at eleven o'clock on Saturday. So
we've got a big a couple of busy mornings of sport.
Let's go to the next game.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
The next game is on Friday night, also in New Zealand.
This one's in Auckland. It is Japan versus Sweden. Who
wins out.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Of that Sweden because they knocked out the US.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Okay, so Sweden is your tournament favorite now, no, okay?
On Saturday, the two matches taking part in Australia at
Lang Park in Brisbane, and I note that some outlets
have now started calling at lang Park instead of Brisbane
Stadium or Meanngin Stadium. That's where Australia plays France. That's
a five o'clock Saturday afternoon game. Does the rest of
the world stop or does the rest of the country
(05:14):
stop for two hours while this one's on?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, it's going very quiet at the shops at five
o'clock on Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Usually the pubs will be full.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
The shops are usually pretty quiet at five o'clock on
a Saturday afternoon. I've got to be honest.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Grocery shops maybe anyway, ghost Town?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Can I can I get poetic?
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Here?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Is France? Any chance? Boom boom?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yes, Okay, Unfortunately it's a huge game. It is a
huge game. France had a very comprehensive win last night.
But we're going to go with Australia.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Will Sam Kurse start? Will she come off the bench?
What's the tactic? What would you do if you Attorney
Gustafson start her? I would start her and say, look,
let's see how you go. When you start, you might get.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Sixty minutes but yeah, I would start her. You don't
want to. You don't want France to go one or
two nil and then have to bring Sam Kerhr on
and then go do your best.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
It's knockout footy, get in front, parked the bus. And
on the subject of parking the bus, will England be
able to park the bus in.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Front of Columbia?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Now Columbia are going to win.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
That one's at Stadium Australia in Sydney, So that's.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah, I'm on Columbia in a shootout.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
That'd be That would be exciting.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, I reckon, I reckon, it'll go. I know we
don't do predictions on this show anymore.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
No, but one all, one all in in in regular
time and so one all at the end of ninety minutes,
one all at the end of extra time and Columbia
to win in a shootout.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Okay, that'll be exciting.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Would also continue a miserable sporting year for England, although
Australia beating England in the semi final would also be spectacular.
Something that doesn't stop for any other sport because it
thinks it is the be's knees in the world of
sport is the Australian Football League. The top teams are
a wee bit wobbly. Aj one of them is indeed
on the back end of a four game losing streak.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Port Adelaide didn't I tell you about three or four
weeks ago that they were pretenders?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Well versus GWS this weekend Suddenly it becomes a massively
important game for both of those sides.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It's the twenty twenty two Grand Final as I predicted
it predicted by Chris Coleman.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Sure it's happening in round twenty something in twenty twenty three,
but neither side made the final exactly. Yeah, neither of
last year's Grand finalists could could make the eighth this
year that's still a possibility. Just wants to make it
you reckon, yeah, Swanies. The top teams have the wobbles,
though it's too early. It is not Collie Wobble season
(07:35):
just yet. Collie Wobble season, as everyone knows, is September.
But Collingwood have decidedly looked wobbly the last couple of
weeks and losing to Hawthorne. Dear, dear well, Nick Deekos
has got a wobbly knee now so he's out for
about six weeks.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Yeah, I think Collingwood might be in trouble.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
You know who, in all seriousness, you know who who
I think is the favorite?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Who is the favorite? Now? Who do you put up there?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
The Melbourne Demons been winning without Clayton Oliver. I think
Clayton Oliver is back very very soon. Petrarca has been
absolutely fantastic. Jack Viney's been amazing as well. They've got depth,
they've got talent. They won a competition not even two
years ago. I think the Melbourne Demons are the favorites.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Have They also had the advantage that because Collingwood was
going so well, because Port Adelaide was winning games left,
right and center and had that long winning streak, because
Brisbane's been a behemoth up there at the Gabba have
they rather unusually for a team based out of Victoria,
have been able to go a little bit behind the scenes,
a little bit under the radar, while other teams have
(08:37):
done great things. While GWS had a seven game winning streak, well,
Carlton has been the best team in footy in the
past ten weeks.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, the Melbourne Demons have been hiding in playing sight.
They've been there all year. They're up to I think
second on the competition ladder. Now the port Adelaide were,
now they're not. I really like the Demons, and like
you always say, Chris Colemon's.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
You finished, you finished, Yeah, but you've tipped them now,
so they're in all sorts of trouble. Speaking of people
you've tipped, you're gonna have to come up with a
new Brownlows selection because I don't think Nick Daekos is
going to be able to get enough votes to get
over the line. Who are gonna with the mos on?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Now?
Speaker 1 (09:12):
It's really really hard to get brown Low votes when
you're not playing it is, so he's still a third favorite.
So if Petrarca and Bontopelly either get injured or don't
have a great last few weeks or get suspended, then
Deekos is still a chance. It's a flip of the
coin between bontoon Pelly and Petrarca. Bontom Pelly would have
(09:33):
got three votes the other night. He was outstanding. I
didn't see the Demon's game. I do know they were
losing to the Kangaroos early, but Petrarca's been fantastic as well.
It'll be one of those two.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Carlton the real deal or not, yes or no, big answer. Yeah,
I think they are.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
They could think they can see them getting I can
see them getting into a prelim or a Grand Final.
I still think the Demons are the favorites, but I
would have Collingwood's second favorite, and then to be honest,
probably have Carlton next. I'm not convinced. The problem that
the Brisbane Lions have got is that it is not
twenty and twenty, so the Grand Final is not going
(10:09):
to be played at the Gabba.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
We've got a couple of things. I thinks very quickly
to look at the Swan's beat the Giants the other day.
I know you saw Nulla, I know you saw ye.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I was at a pub and they had they had
the Geelong Port game on one screen and they had
the Sharks Rabbito's game on the other.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
It's another game for the Giants where one bad quarter
has cost them. Same as in Round two against the Eagles,
same as in Round four against Essendon, same as in
Round three against Carlton.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
There's been so many games.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Where the Giants have cost themselves victory with one poor
quarter and the Swan's accurate kicking did help. They think
they had eleven straight at half time and it's been
a long time since the side's done that.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
That's been a problem for the Swans this year. Of course,
they butchered a game. I think it was against Geelong
Robbie Fox. I think mister a very easy shot at goal.
But it'd be really nice to see a final series
with both Sydney teams in it.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
It'd be awesome.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I was swansa borter, but actually I really like the
Giants side. Want the Giants to get there.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
You're a very rare breed amongst Swan supporters, very quickly
talk that Dangerfield should be on the AFL commission while
still playing in the past twenty four hours. Do you
think there should be a current player on the AFL
commission helping to run the competition. Do you think it's
a good idea or a bad idea in principle not
talking about Patrick Danesfield per se an active player as
(11:23):
part of the commission.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
What do you reckon now? I don't mind it. I
think it's not a bad idea.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I mean, if we get to the if all of
a sudden they come out with a new way to
run the competition and the majority of the games are
scheduled at Kidinneia Park, then we've got a problem.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Gelong get twenty home games this season. Something's wrong there?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Can the Grand Finals been moved? No, I don't mind it,
Gelong get with it.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
No.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I think it's a great idea. I'm necessarily I think
it could be a rotating position every year. Anyway, that's
an interesting part. But yeah, I mean Gelong wouldn't get
twenty home games at Kidney Park because they're not Collingwood,
who'd get twenty home games in Melbourne every year. Damian
Hardwick to coach the Gold Coast potentially, if you were
a Richmond and would you be livid?
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Would you be filthy? Would you just go, oh well
move on? No?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
He coached. He coached three premierships at Richmond.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
It quit a few months ago because he'd lost the passion,
lost the fire, and now the Gold Coaster coming after
him with a reported five year term.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I went to the Gold Coast few weeks ago. The
weather is delightful. I went to their stadium too, where
the sun's play. It's nice.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
It's a nice stadium.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah, they got really good hot Dogs there. Yeah I
didn't anyway, So Damian Hardwick take the job, get the
hot Dogs.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
And Luke sue he has retired or announced his retirement.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
He has been a rough couple of years for the
West Coast Eagles. But Luke Swey part of that premiership
side in twenty eighteen and yeah, pretty good career. I
think there might be a couple more retirements coming out
of the West.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Coast egu It might be a very big clean outcoming. Yeah,
not too far away. The Super Serious Sports show the point.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
The end of the NRL season. Not too far away.
Both those grand finals are on the same weekend this year.
I love it when that happens. When you get the
AFL and the NRL Grand Final on the same weekend,
doesn't happen as often as it used to.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So I'll have the AFL Grand Final on the Saturday,
the thirtieth of September. We'll have the NRLW Grand Final
on the Sunday afternoon and then the NRL Grand Final
on the Sunday night.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Yeah, I need to stock up my fridge. Good plan.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Wade Graham, Let's start with that giant of the game
with his club has pulled the plug after. Actually, I'll
show you this because I saved this page because I
knew you would get a laugh out of this if
I go to this and here you go.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
There it is there.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Sixteen year NRL great announces his retirement and then down
here what does it say here bringing to an end
a glittering seen year career. Congratulations Way Graham. Two hundred
plus games.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Two hundred and ninety two NRL games.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
He won't be a three hundred game player.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Is he playing this weekend? Four games left? Four and
then four? He could?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
He could?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
He's not going to bet he could. So forty two
games for the Penrith Panthers, two hundred and fifty games
for the Kernala Sharks. Just for the record, it was
the sixteen years that was correct, not the.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Hec thirteen years with the Sharks would be my guess.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah, so eight games for Australia, six games for New
South Wales. Won a premiership of course with the Cronella
Sharks in twenty sixteen. He's had a pretty good career
away Graham. I think he's played a couple of years
too long, and I think most Cronulla fans agree he's
transitioned into the middle of the field hasn't quite worked.
He almost looks a little bit like a liability. But
at his peak he was one of the Premierre left
(14:26):
edge fours. He had the passing game, the kicking game.
He was special because he came through the grades as
a five eight, very big five eight, but a five eight.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Pretty sure he won't have any problems picking up media work. Nay,
be fine, He'll be sweet. Speaking of former players in
the media, Corey Parker has come out and said that
the Camera Raiders will not win another game for the
remainder of the season, or as many of us are
calling it, doing a twenty twenty two version of the Broncos.
Who you know, glass Houses Cory, just just be aware
(14:55):
of that. Here is the Camera Raiders draw for the
remainder of the twenty twenty three season twenty four this
Sunday at Amy Park in Melbourne. The Raiders take on
the Melbourne Storm. I note that the betting agency here
has the Melbourne Storm at a dollar twenty three of
the Camber Raiders at four dollars twenty Do the Raiders
win there? I mean the Raiders have the best record
of any team other than the storm at Amy Park.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Ugh. Yeah, these are the ones they win, the ones
they're not meant to win in Melbourne, they're the ones
they win.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Would you be taking the Raiders and the Tipping comp
this week?
Speaker 4 (15:24):
No?
Speaker 3 (15:25):
There you go the week after.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I in front. I want to stay in front.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Round twenty five Sunday afternoon, twentieth of August at Geo Stadium,
four o'clock Sunday afternoon, The Raiders versus the Canterbury Bulldogs.
I would like to remind you that the Canterby Bulldogs
I have to scroll down when I get to the
er or ladder and find them in fifteenth with seven wins.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
When was the last time the Bulldogs were good?
Speaker 3 (15:49):
When did they last win the competition?
Speaker 1 (15:51):
They last made a Grand Final in twenty fourteen. They
last won a competition in two thousand and four. They
did make the twenty twelve Grand Finals.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
So they were good between two thousand and four and
twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah, I don't remember them being good since then?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Do the Raiders win that game? Yes, you'd think Sir
Corey Parker will therefore be wrong. And then in the
final round round oh sorry, the's two round the show
goes in twenty seven. Round twenty six, the Raiders host
the Broncos Surday night at JO and round twenty seven
Sunday afternoon at Shark Park.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
They'll lose that one, yeah, because it'd be Wad grimes
last game potentially.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah. Yeah, although Coronella one on the weekend. Cronulla have
repositioned themselves quite nicely to make the finals. But yeah,
I think the Raiders will beat the Broncos down at Goo.
It's not working that night. I get to stay at
home and put my feet up and enjoy a enjoy
a cold beer, have some pizza and watch the Raiders win.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
The Raiders realistically only need one more to lock in
a place in the eight. Two would be safe, but
one more gets them in.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Three gets them into the top four.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Three gets me to the top four.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
But especially if it's one of them's this weekend.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
We'll win this weekend they're in the top four. Yes,
it's that simple. They win this weekend, they'll be on
thirty two points. More will be on thirty. But yeah,
I don't think I'll be taking them in the tipping
comp either.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Fun fact about this weekend, I've had a few people
send this to me over the last couple of days.
So Ethan Strange make his debut for the Raiders.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
How cool is that?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
So this weekend this is cool. Ethan Strange will make
his debut for the Camperaders.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Ricky Stewart showing faith in one of the one of
the local juniors. It's great, well local on the books juniors.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yeah, yeah, we got him off the Rooster's books though
he was at the Roosters. Speaking of the Roosters, Yes,
his dad, John Strange, is the Rooster's nrl W coach.
Ethan's sister Jasmine So, Jasmine Strange is a winger for
the Newcastle Knights nrl W side.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
And that's the first is it first? That's the son
and daughter triumvirate.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yep, being involved in the inner so combo of the
NRL nrl W.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Ever aj you said at this point in the program,
you have a large red button in front of that
you want to press. Are you ready to press the
large red button?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yes? On the Super serious sports show is Carrigan White.
What the hell is that doing?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Then?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
What are we doing that for?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
You said last week was the last ever.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
I thought that had been stuck in the bin. I'd
got rid of it. You've you've attached it to the
to the like some judge on the voice. You've hit
the button and away it goes way.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Carrigan has turned into a tri scoring machine, Chris Common.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
He has here.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
After not scoring for seventy eight games or whatever it was,
he's scored two weeks in a row.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
If he does, if he keeps going at that rate,
by the time he gets to one hundred and fifty
odd games, he will have scored in fifty percent of
his games.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Well, we'll keep doing Carrigan watched for every week that
he scores in consecutive weeks. So this might be the
last Carrigan watch. But how good is that it doesn't
score a try for his entire career?
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Habit for me two weeks.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
In a row on.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
We go to the nrl W. There's just so much
good stuff going on in the NROLW. And a massive
thumbs up to the Canberra Raiders. Two weeks in a
row they've knocked over high fancied opposition. If you're not
watching the NROLW, seriously give yourself an uppercut, go and
check it out. It is great and it's on Freewawyre
Television and if you're in Canberra you can listen to
(19:02):
the Raiders games on Mix one oh six point three,
which we will be calling again this Saturday. Eleven o'clock
in the morning Saturday is an unusual start for a
national level sports competition.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Though.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, I'm gonna need a coffee. That's early for me.
It's very early fine on Saturday. Yeah, yeah, but I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I've done baseball games that have started at ten and
eleven o'clock in the morning, but you know that's usually
a game has been rescheduled or whatever. Anyway, that's this weekend.
But there's plenty going on. I have something that I
want to throw in, but I'll let you lead the
way on something. Anything that you want to throw out
there at the moment, who or what has caught your eye.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I was watching the Broncos game the other day, Mille Hufunger. Yeah,
for the Brisbane Broncos. Four tries before the fiftieth minute mark.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
That's not a bad effort. She is incredible.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
She is an incredibly powerfully built human being. Moves like
a dance.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
It's incredible to watch.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
She's just an amazing athlete.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Got a step, got a change of pace, has great
ball skills as well, not just not just in taking
the ball and charging up, but it's shown a couple
of death little passes as well.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Well, she gave up passing the ball after try number
three the other day and just wouldn't you and just
and just basically went, nah, I'm just going to score
the try. I felt bad for the person who had
to defend her the other day, and I thought, now
I feel bad for the young Raiders right center Mackenzie Wiki.
(20:41):
And I don't want to cast any dispersions, but I
suggested that it might not be a bad time for
McKenzie Wiki to get injured. Mackenzie Wicki's injured.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
And the Raiders she's out for what three weeks? They
reckon three weeks and the Raiders happened to play the
Broncos in three weeks time, so.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
That anyway, But hopefully Mackenzie can get back on the field,
because Mackenzie has been outstanding for the Raiders so far.
But ah, she's going to have a handsful that day.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Nrl W prior to this season had never had a
player sent off. There's now been two players that sent
off Kennedy Cherrington for Paramatta, copped four weeks.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Four weeks so she was referred straight to the judiciary.
She pled guilty. It just goes from bad to worse
for Paramatta. Kennedy Sherrington, the star player of the Paramatta
side who have been struggling last year's Grand finalists, and
she's been rubbed out for four weeks. I said it
during her call the other day that it was one
of the most bizarre sendoffs I've ever seen. The referee
called her over, there was no arguments, that was like
(21:39):
I'm sorry, fair enough, and then when she got stand
off she ran off.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Yeah, she apologized. She had apologized on field. Bad tackle,
a bad tackle. And I know this may not be
a popular opinion here. I don't know whether in the
current structure of the NLW, I don't know whether four
weeks is the right punishment because.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Week suspension in the men's competition, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Well, there's a nine week regular competition the nl double,
so it's a third of the So it's more than that,
it's four out of nine, it's nearly half. It's forty
four percent. So in a twenty seven week NRL competition,
it would be about eleven or twelve weeks. It would
be a ten or eleven game, allowing for buyers.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
It's a big suspension.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
It was a huge it was a bad tackle.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I don't know how you get it right, and I
know the AFL had to pardon the part had to
tackle this issue in the AFLW a couple of years
ago for the similar reasons. The shorter season and suspensions
have more impact. But it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Well, I don't think it's I don't think Paramatta got
too much to worry about. They're not making the finals.
That Paramatta team has been beaten from pillar to post
in every game so far.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Huge four from grace for that.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
It is for a side that, although I was saying
to somebody else here at work this morning, Paramatta with
four new teams coming into the NRLW, Paramatta's squad was
one of the teams that kind of got picked apart.
Newcastle was the other. And you only have to look
at the Raiders RLW side who's two from three. Ash
Quinlan the halfback, Sammama Taufer, the lockforward and co captain
(23:08):
of the Raiders were part of that Paramatta side last year.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Indeed moving along to the other side of the world.
We need to put it in somewhere here. We may
as well do this now. The English Premier League starts
this weekend. I note that Spurs played a friendly against Barcelona.
Was for some trophy or other that Barcelona Alona played
for on an annual basis. They put it up for
challenge and Spurs went over and Spurs were great. They
came from one nil down to lead to one and
(23:33):
then gave away a goal to be equalized and then
a goal in the ninetieth minute, the goal in injury
time to lose at four to against Barcelona. Spurs go
into a game this weekend against Brentford as loosely speaking,
favorites at two dollars thirty or thereabouts on the betting markets,
Brentford at two ninety in a drawers three fifty.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Do you remember when Leicester City won won the title
from five hundred to one.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
I think might have been even a thousand at one stage,
but anyway, y, yes, five thousand, that's true, that's possible.
Silly betting odds.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Yeah, yeah, Fulham five hundred to one, you're getting on it.
Oh maybe maybe there's several I'll tell you what more
than according to sports.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Bed, there there are worse. There are worse prospects.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
No, there's no worse.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Oh okay, So Fulham a favored to finish last, but.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
They have eleven of the twenty teams paying five hundred
to one.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Okay, equal last.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Yeah, yeah they don't. They've got it wrong though, because
Tottenham an't one of those eleven.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
So what have they got? Spurs at thirty four. I've
gone on at sixty seven before and was appointed. So
there you go.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Manchester City and Burnley first game, seventh favorite Tottenham.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Well that's that's about accurate.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I think it's a bit high.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Okay, Manchester City at Burnley to start things off. Arsenal
host Nottingham. Forest Fulham this week at Everton, which is
always a tough assign at Goodison Park, a difficult place
to go to when.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
It hasn't only just survived last season.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
There'll be a tougher side this season. I can't see
them being as bad this year as they were year.
It's about this time every year, aj as the Magpie
starts swooping in Australia, that I start to realize that
we are on the verge of what is almost without exception,
(25:14):
the best sporting month of the year. We're getting into September.
September when you've got the AFL finals, the NL finals,
the A League starts to warm up, the English Premier
League is underway, the NFL is there, the Major League
Baseball gets towards the point end where it comes down
towards the post season. I just love this time of
(25:34):
year because there's so much sport to keep an eye on.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
There is there is, and I get a lot of
my sporting news. You're going to laugh at this through Instagram.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
If you'd said TikTok, that would have been the very
end of this program in a matter of seconds. I'll
allow Instagram.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I don't know what TikTok is or Snapchat or x
any of those ones, but it's still Twitter.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
I don't care what alone is. It's still Twitter.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
So I follow Pat McAfee the Pat McAfee Show on Instagram.
Usually they have a lot of football content. Course put
Pat McAfee, former former punter for the Indianapolis Colts, now
hosts a radio show Slash Podcast Slash just social Media
Thing and baseball. Chris Coleman, why did baseball.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Make it onto the McAfee show.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Because someone got knocked the out?
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Oh okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
What happened between the White Sox and the Guardians.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Punch is worth thrown? Something was said, punch is worthrown.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
He's squared up. He's squared up like he was in
an official fight.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
And then guard and then and I'm doing the guard
right now.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
You are.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
I can talk because you went off Mike for a
second while you were doing it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
So he's got he's got into the he's got into
the the what do you call it stance? I should
know this. I did a bit of muy Thai training.
He's got into a fighting still South poor, he's in
the other one. Okay, orthodox orthodox stance. Yeah, guard up.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Up ready, and.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
He got knocked.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Yep, by.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
A bit of a wild Haymaker swing. It's baseball, Chris Coleman.
It this ain't hockey.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
No, no, you don't. You don't go to baseball expecting
fights to happen. And benches.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Look, the benches do clear from time to time, more
often than more often than not. It's because you know
a picture has done something, or a batter has done something.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
This happened and on the base parts if I'm remembering right.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yeah, what even happened?
Speaker 3 (27:34):
I don't know, mouth and off at each other. All
I've seen is is what you've seen. You know, I've
seen the he's just squared up and then he's out. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Yeah, speaking of baseball, very quick mention because it started
in the early hours of today or they got delayed
by some pretty crap weather. The Women's Baseball World Cup
is on. Australia is one of the top nations worldwide
whereusiness baseball. It's in Canada. Cool and bad weather delayed
the game a little bit. Australia playing the US, went
(28:04):
down three to two, had the tying runner actually thrown
out at home in the ninth with a chance to
tie the game up and take it into extras. I
want to give a huge mention to Shaye Lilly White,
who I have seen play. She is a star of
the game. There have been nine Women's baseball World Cups.
She has represented Australia at all nine. So really, yeah,
(28:26):
however do they play a World Cup every couple of years? Yea,
But she's she's she's a star and.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
So what is it like a little round robin and
then you and then you get through to like a
knockout start.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
You've got your pool and I think it goes through
to it like a super six. I think a super round.
We carry your results against other teams that go through
and then yeah, and then you get into it.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
But oh, let's let's check in on that again next week.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
I've tride a huge chance to go deep into that one.
And a loss, a loss to the USA is not
the end of the world. You don't want to know
they like baseball, but also it's not how you start
to see you finish.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
And remember there's no crying in baseball. There's no crying
in baseball.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
And I said, the NFL is about to hit, and
you have again. I love this when you give me
the cryptic message, just ask me this, like before ask
you to press the red button. That's the last time
that'll be happening. You've said, ask me to mention the
Detroit Lions. Why am I mentioning the Detroit Lions in
this segment Because despite the fact that they've got the
(29:26):
season opener, that's why, oh why, okay, right.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
I just love that it's the season opener and the
Detroit Lions are playing it. When can you last remember
the Lions playing in a big season opener, or a
big playoff game or a big like this Lions team
are for real this year?
Speaker 3 (29:46):
You sure?
Speaker 4 (29:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Okay, yeah, that's why they're playing first.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
They're up against the Kansas City Chiefs, who have been
for real for the last couple of years.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
They've been real ever since they trusted Patrick Mahomes. Like
I said, the last couple of years, Homes went from memory.
I think he was the eleventh picking whatever draft it was.
How do you feel other ten teams the Lions were
probably one, Probably were they probably they're usually picking pretty early.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
