It's the canber region's most affordable land per square meter
in the heart of Murram Bateman. Find out more at
Sunningdale Estate dot com dot are you the Super Serious
Sports Show with Chris Coleman at Adam Janssen.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Adam Jansen, tell me what's caught your eye on in the
world of sport in the past seven days and if
it's anything other than the Cricket World Cup, I'm going
to be bitterly disappointed.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
It's mostly the Cricket World Card. Good, but I found
out what time the Formula one Grand Prix starts this weekend.
Oh yeah, this is whack yeah, whack?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Well it is? Is that an appropriate word? And have
I used that right? Is that what the youth say
these days? Whack the youth's youth, youth ybf whack wak.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Anyway, there's Formula one in Las Vegas. It's on a
very fewer friendly time for Australians. So that has caught
my eye.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Hang on, hang on, hang on. Are we going to
talk Formula one on the Super Serious Boord Show?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
For more than thirty seconds.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yeah, And because you and I haven't followed it properly
this year, we're going to get a guest Formula one
person in.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I'm so glad you've done that, because, yeah, my amount
of research on Formula one. Actually I've got something. I've
got something about the Vegas Grand Prix.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Of course you do. We're also going to let's caught
my eye, the NFL starting to heat up, and I
remember we did some pre season predictions.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Oh god, yeah we did.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
We're going to do a mid season report on those predictions.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I might just leave the room for that bit. Okay,
that's all coming up, and I may be here for
all or some of it on this edition of the
Super Serious Sports Show. Well, if things progress as they
normally do after we put this program together, the first
semi final and the Cricket World Cup will be underway.
It is India versus New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Who you got India comfortably? Who do you want New
Zealand comfortably? Comfortably? Not as comfortably as as probably most people,
because I think an India Australia final would be be huge,
wonderful and how good would it be to watch Australia
beat India in a final. Although I think of Australia
and New Zealand get through, I think Australia go in
(02:00):
as favorite.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
If it is an Australian New Zealand final. Can you
imagine just how much of an up yours to the
rest of the cricketing world, that is from this part
of the world.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
New Zealand correct me if I'm wrong have made the
last two finals.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
They've made the last two finals. I think they've made
five semifinals and have never won the thing.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
No, they've never won.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
So Australia I think has only lost one World Cup
semi final, which was twenty nineteen. If Australia makes the
semi finals, they usually they lose in England probably I've
wiped that to memory. It's either that or stuff for
PTSD And you know that was the one with.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
The controversial ending with England and New Zealand in the final.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
And England won up because of a no the super
over was tied, so they won it because they'd hit
more boundaries or something.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yeah, it was something weird like that.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You know, I played in a soccer tournament when I
was younger, and in the event of a tie there
were shortened games. Was like one of those mini mini
tournament days. Whichever team had more corners took more corners one.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
That's been done before. Ye.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yeah, it was weird.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I've always had a think, can we can we talk
about soccer for a second, because well, we're gonna talk soccer. Okay,
we'll save it for later. But I have an idea
to get rid of or to at least make penalty
shootouts less happen less often. Okay, you knock out to us.
We'll come back to that later.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
All right, we're going to leak back. Trust me, we're
looping back to soccer.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I didn't want to. But okay, there's a lot we
Why why are we doing things that I don't want
to do on this show today?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Speaking of excuses, Nasa Hussein, Oh yeah, yeah, what's he said?
It's hard for England because of the timing of World
Cups on the back of an ASHES series.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Hang on, Pam, can I just ask a question at
this point? You can ask the same question I'm thinking.
If I may, may I interject with the question who
does England play in the Ashes Australia? And where has
Australia gotten to in this World Cup? The semi finals
and the last five or six World Cups? And where
did Australia have to travel to prior to the World Cup. Oh,
(04:06):
that's right, England and South Africa too. There's a shut up,
you're an idiot. You're embarrassing yourself.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
He embarrassed himself when he when he when he chose
to and when he chose to bowl first. There was
that the Gabba.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
There is a book. There is a book to be written.
And actually I know guys who could do this. I
might suggest it to them.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I've written a book.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I know you have. There was another book to be written,
Classic poor English cricket decisions. Johnny Bearstow would be the
latest of them. Actually, no, there's probably there's probably been
something from this World Cup that would probably go in there.
Can Can we come back to something a little bit
more local than the Cricket World Cup other than to
say go Assi's.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Yeah, because you didn't ask me who's going to win
the second game?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Who's gonna win the SEC game? Astralia or South Africa?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
There?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Why would I bother asking you? Have you heard of
Gareth Morgan?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Is he related to Owen?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
No, I don't think so. I'd not heard of I
don't think so. Very quickly, well, Morgan is a very
common name, so probably not. The captain of the Mudura
b Mudurra Queensland names Okay Mudurra Barton Irang and District's
cricket Club third grade team is Gareth Morgan. He is
the captain thereof Last week they were playing a game
(05:17):
against Surface Paradise at the Kerrara Community Center and the
Service Paradise side. They were doing it easy, they were
doing it real easy. Coming up to the fortieth over,
the last over they needed five runs, they had six
wickets in hand. How they go upsteps Gareth Morgan strides
in and I will read to you now from Wisden
dot com. He first removed opener Jay Garland for sixty five,
(05:40):
caught by Ethan Wells. What followed was extraordinary dot dot dot.
I'll get to this now. Connor Matheson, Michael Curtain, Wade McDougall,
Riley Eckersley and Brody Feelen were all then dismissed off
five consecutive deliveries. Surface Paradise collapsed from one hundred and
seventy four for four to one hundred and seventy four
all out and Gareth Morgan took in that last over
(06:03):
six for none off six deliveries. It's a quadruple hat trick.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
That's impressive. That is more than impressed. Spin. I don't
know right arm, left arm.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I don't he bowls. He bowls well. Apparently the umpire
said to it at the start of the over, you'll
need to take a hat trick or something to win
the game. And he did seven for sixteen from seven overs,
and in true captaincy style, had top scored for his
side earlier with thirty nine. And his father said, Gareth
(06:36):
won't tell you, but as a young bloke he once
took five wickets in and over. He didn't get six
because there was only five wickets left at the start
of the over. So for Gareth Morgan, nothing new. But
I know we haven't dish one out for a while
AJ but six for none in and over in any
great decree, I don't care whether it's international, district or
third grade on the Gold Coast, Gareth Morgan, we slut you.
(06:57):
We don't usually talk much about when fixes are released
because you know, in the green scheme of things, a
fixture is release, teams play their seasons and away we go.
But we have had the National Rugby League draw land
after much conjecture and the AFL somehow managing to let
the NERL get the jump on them. And the only
stuff I've seen about the AFL draw has really been
in the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Aj, I'm not sure how tired I am. Okay, but
that AFL draw that really confused?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Are we going to start there?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Can we start there?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
We can start there?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Look, then draw. This is my confused face.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
All I want to say about the Eneral draw is
congratulations to them on putting out the Eternal and the
NERL double draw altogether so you can you can plan
your entire.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I'll tell you the same thing about the NRL draw.
I was on both Camber Wrapped and the Christin and
Knights Breakfas show this week to talk about the NRL draw.
A lot of people ask and go, do the Raiders
have a hard draw or a soft draw? I was like, well,
people said we had a soft draw soft draw last year? Right?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
That did? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
No, the Raiders only played Paramatta once last year. That
is not a soft draw. You meant to play the
crap teams twice.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
We only play paramattter once next year? Yeah, in out
round three or four.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Therefore we're playing some one of the good teams twice.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I think we only get Melbourne once, Penrith once and
who else was in the top four? Who else finished
in the top four? I should know this, we should
know that. Anyway, we played three of the top four once.
It was a couple of months ago. I've moved on.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
They got pole axed.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
And we played the Warriors.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Oh no, the Warriors and the Warriors in Melbourne. That
were the other top four teams.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I said Melbourne, I said Melbourne Warriors for the other
team Melbourn, Penwrith Warriors and who Brisbane Brisbane? Yeah, I
think we only played Brisbane once as well. We played
the Warriors twice once the days in christ Church.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Brisbane versus the Raiders would be a really good game
because both teams are only good for sixty minutes.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah. Anyway, moving to the AFL draw, because that's the
that's our coverage of the NIL draw. If you want more,
google it, it's on. It's online. The AFL is going
to have opening round next year, so not round one, No,
they're gonna have They're gonna have round one as well,
so round zero, no, no opening round and then round one.
(09:01):
You're scratching your nose at me at this point you look.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Borrowing my brow and it's got nothing to do with you,
will you merv hughes Mo.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
You still haven't sponsored me in November. You're being cheap
or you're just delaying the inevitable. It's going to happenyday today.
Oh good, there we go. Thursday night opening round, Sydney
versus Melbourne at the SCG, Friday night Brisbane versus Carlton
at the Gabba, Saturday afternoon Gold Coast versus Richmond, and
then Saturday night GWS versus Collingwood. That's opening round giants.
(09:35):
I think, I think so. I think it's tremendous marketing.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
So there's an opening round, yeah, but there's also a
round one. Yeah, so after one round, after round one,
some of the teams could have a two and oho
and two record.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yes, yes, that'll do me. There'll be teams that have
played two games by the end of round one. The
rest of round one or round one proper is then,
can't be Richmond on a Thursday night, Collingwood and Sydney
on Friday long and se killed a frio and Brisbane,
Essendon and Hawthorne on Saturday, Port and West Coast and
the Western Bulldogs v Melbourne on Sunday. You will notice
that there are two teams not mentioned in round one,
(10:11):
being g WS and the Gold Coast. Now the AFL
have come out and said they do it. They're doing
this because they want to give the Northern States teams
a bit of a push, because New South Wales and
Queensland have basically been stiffed in the past few years
by the AFL Shenanigans. So that means that there are
(10:32):
they're trying to capitalize on the NRL being in Vegas
and not playing as many games in Sydney to start with,
and so on. Right, so in opening around they're PUTTINGWS
and the Gold Coast on as star attractions, and then
in round one they're not playing Gold Coast or GWS.
Does that much make sense to you?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
None of this makes sense to me.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Can I give you one more thing about them?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
The Victorians are making up their own language. Again.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
The other thing at that risk of trying to confuse
things even further, if you're trying to give GWS and
Gold Coast a bit more of a push, which the
AFL say they are by having this totally unnecessary opening half.
Round Round four is the AFLs gather Round where they
put everyone into Adelaide and play at different stadiums, because
(11:19):
that's how you gather. You go to good last year,
but it's how you gather. You go to different places.
You don't put them all in one place like they
do in Magic Ground. You play some at this ground,
some at that ground because their games go for too long,
and one game goes up to the Adelaide Hills. It's
a teeny tiny ground. It's very hard to get to
which two teams. I'll give you one guess which two teams,
the two that might need a bit of a push
along and a higher profile than the AFL are playing
(11:41):
at the smallest ground at the most unattractive times. Dot
of the AFLs gather Round.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
The Gold Coast Suns and the GWS Giants.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
So I rest my case. It is a complete shammozzle.
The rest of the drawer will mean nothing. It's all stupid.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
The Super serious Sports Show, mister.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Jansen, it's time to do something that we haven't done
in a very long time on this program Talk Formula one. Well,
you can always argue that we've never actually talked Formula one.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
No, we've talked Formula one, especially those times where I
said that VA Supercars is more interesting.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
We talked Formula one for thirty seconds at a stretch.
That would be the longest we ever done. But today,
not only are you talking Formula one, we have a.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Guest, we have a guest.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Hello.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Oh, Kelly got theme music, she got a fan fair.
I got them music. But I want sweepers and stings
and you don't do that.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
So you know, it's a podcast, not a radio show.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I don't care. It's also a radio show.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Also a radio show that a podcast. Anyway, Kelly from
our sales departments have to deal with every week every week. Yeah,
you have to deal with it every week. Kelly has
to deal with this every daily.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yeah, I'm sorry for you.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
She works in our sales department, but she also works
for us here on Hit one O four point seven
as an announcer. But Keeley is one of the biggest
Formula one fans. I know I've seen.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
You in your in your nice Ferrari jacket. What you
aren't aware. A few weeks ago, I came in after
I'd been to the gym, and I was wearing a
track suit and actual matching proper tracksuit, and someone said, gee,
that looks like kind of like Killy's Ferrari jacket. And
I look down at it. It's a red and black
tracksuit top.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
No, it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
And then I saw you in the jacket a few
days later. That jacket cost about, I don't know, a
gazillion times more than my track suit.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Yeah, little, it's probably too much.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Yeah anyway, any who, any who, the Las Vegas Grand
Prix is on this weekend. It's very very viewer friendly
time for Australian fans of five pm on Sunday for
the race. So we thought, let's talk some F one
this week. Let's get an F one fan in you.
You're always trying to talk to me about Formula one, Killy,
(13:38):
What are the big storylines heading into the race for
those who've paid very little attention? Like I know that
Max for Stappen for Stappen as some people call him,
has won almost every race.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
So what you're saying is that it hasn't exactly been
vintage ex signing Formula one.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
All right, Okay, well it depends as long as you
kind of block off Max from the start. We know
he's going to win whatever, then you watch everyone else race.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I was a Formula One fan in the days of
Wellton Center. May he resume peace, But Nelson p Kue,
you had Nigel Mansell, there was and then there's a
whole host of other guys who could potentially win races. Yes,
that doesn't seem to be the case now is There's.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
A couple McLaren The McLaren boys, Piastre and Norris have
really stepped up this season after the summer break. They
just something happen with their car and they've been driving
it well. Lando. Norris has gotten second in so many
races this year. It hasn't got his first win yet.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
So we're just hoping for a blowout from Max Forstappen.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Right, any race I watch, I'm hoping I do like Max,
but I just want to make it more interesting.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Okay, okay're the only one who does Does he drive
for Ferrari?
Speaker 5 (14:46):
No, he's Red Bull.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Everyone wants it to be more interested.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Who are the Ferrari drivers?
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Is Charles Leclerc and Carlos Signs?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Seeing now look cle A couple of years ago, though,
I were saying this guy is going to win everything
he want.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Good the Australian Grand Prix last year I watched that.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
No, he's very good, he's just in a terrible car.
Ferrari has not done well with their cars this year.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
About Danny Ricka has Danny rich.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
So he broke he came back to Formula One midway
through the year, then he broke his hand and so
he was off for five weeks, and then he came
back for Mexico and he qualified fourth in his tractor
of an Alpha Tower.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
It's awful that it's a.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
Terrible car, terrible car. And so last week he didn't
do too well. But this week I'm really hoping he
will because he's just been doing getting so much better.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Is the step and winning because he's just the best driver,
or is it because he's in the best car car?
Speaker 5 (15:47):
I would say best car. He's a very very good driver.
But if you had people like Norris Piastre, laclerk Yukisnoda
is really really good, very talented drivers, if you had
them in a red Bull car, it would be.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Very very I have a question now about this weekend's
Grand Prix. Okay, what do you know about the track?
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Okay, so it's shaped like a pig.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
It is it is shaped like a pig. Hang on,
we'll go back to it. There we go. It is
an upside down.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Pigron went Homer and the Simpsons movie fight a pig.
That's what it looks like.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Ye, So that was that was my bit. That's the
only bit of research I've done about the track actually.
And on the curbing, yes, you've got that as well.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Yeah, they've got the clubs, clubs.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
And spades and hearts and diamonds on the curb.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Oh really, it's really cool to look cool. There's a
lot of cool reasons to watch the watch the Grand Prix.
Like we said, it starts at five pm on Sunday's.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Australian and Southeastern.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Time, so it's ten pm over in America.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yeah, yeah, which I read that they've done for European audiences,
but works out really well Frustralian audience.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
There's only a couple of races during the year that
work out really well for US. Japan is one of them,
and Las Vegas is another.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Who's your Last Quest? Who's your you take? You said
that you watch a lot of the race and you
just sort of take max out the equation. Let's take
max out the equation. Who's going to come second? I
because if I ask you who's going to win.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
It's always going to be back. I have a couple
I would love to see Hamilton get up there, but
the murk has really gone downhill the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
That's I know, that's a real pity.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
She feels genuine on that you feel like.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Genuinely like Hamilton. But I have a have a feeling
that there's a good chance Lando Norris is up there.
He's been doing so well, he's doing great in the
car Lander. Norris has got to be second, and it's
gonna be Perez or Hamilton for third. With Charles Leclair,
I wish I'd love that. He's one of my favorites.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I reckon, I reckon, you'll get Stepan and and someone
else will knock each other out and zipping come through
will be Oscar piastre Well.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
The pit lane exit is on a corner, which then
is the slower vehicles will then be on the racing
line for the faster vehicles. Cool, it's going to be
absolute chaos.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Chaos. Cartage Formula one, five o'clock Sunday, afternoon ten o'clock
Vegas time. Saturday night. I'm looking forward to it. Saturday
Night Grand Prix, a little bit of Saturday Night Fever,
even I get. I guarantee at some stage you'll get
to mention a reference to that in the in the covery.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Saturday Night Fever.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Absolutely you will. So this is a bit of the
program where I may just decide to walk out at
some stage because Adam has said, we're going to talk
about things that I don't want to talk about. We're
going to look back at the predictions that we made
at the start of the year for the NFL.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
You gonna skip two segments because we're going to talk
about Tottenham now.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Yeah. See, like I said, I I would leave now,
except there's one more problem. You don't know how to
drive this desk right. You don't know what happens on
this site.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
It's already recording. I know where the stop button is.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Oh okay, so it wouldn't be nineteen minutes of silence
while you sit there and try and work out which
button to stop it with.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I don't know. I just roll people through the results.
But it's funny, or if I get to laugh at
you in person.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Okay, so revisit our predictions from pre NFL season.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
So at the start of the when we did our
Super Bowl predictions, Yes, you had the Bills losing to
the forty nine ers.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I did.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Their Bills are currently five and five, the forty nine
Ers are six and three. I don't think the Bills
are going to make the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I didn't watch their game this week, but I'm told
it was not pretty.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
No, they lost to Denver.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yeah, yeah, I didn't get a chance to watch the game.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Denver suck.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I'm aware of this.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Well, you're not alone because I had the Bills making
the Super Bowl as well, except I had them winning.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Okay, so I have them.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Beating the Philadelphia Eagles. Phillya going well, Phillia eight and one.
Now for a smoky you put the Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Yeah, well that's that's just the kiss of death, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Because this is the best bit, that's my favorite. This
is the reason we're doing this.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Segment because they had.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Because they got Jimmy g yep, and he was finally
going to have a team built around him. It's Jimmy
G up to these days not much and banking up
the quarterback and the coach that hired is he's unemployed. Yeah, exactly, so, yeah,
but there is good news. Chris Coleman, it'll be hilarious.
They won two in a row and they're five and five.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Saying they're five and five with the standings now, it'll
be hilarious if they suddenly went all the way, because
I don't think I put money on it.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
They've benched their quarterback, sacked their coach and they're five
and five.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
So my smoky was Detroit. They're currently seven and two
in division leaders. They're going very well. We both had
Patrick Mahomes is the MVP prediction. Patrick Mahomes is certainly
within the mix. You're smoky for the for the MVP.
I can't even remember who I went for tour from
Miami from the Dolphins. Yeah, I think he's in the
(20:42):
I don't think he's gonna he won't win it, but
Miami six and he's had me a good season. I
had Jared Goth as a smoky because I thought Detroit
did go really well and I don't think he's gonna
win it, but it's not completely beyond the realms of possibility.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
It hasn't been the Chiefs cake walk that some people
thought it was going to be this year.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
No, I know, there's a couple. Most of the discussion
around the Chiefs has been around who they're tight ends dating.
But we both discussed Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Yeah, that was a great idea.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
We both said it would go pear shaped. I don't
think we realized how quickly. No, No, he's not four plays.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yeah it was. It was over before it began.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
A couple of Actually I had Interestingly, you didn't give
me an answer on this. You wouldn't give me one.
But I my tip for who would be the worst team.
It's actually going to be the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
There's a reason why I didn't give you my tip
for who was going to be five.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
They're not going to be the worst team. The worst
team as it stands at the moment is the Carolina Panthers,
who've only won one game.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah, they've got time to overtake the true worst team
in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Who's the worst team?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Oh? Did you watch the Patriots?
Speaker 5 (21:48):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Yeah, the Patriots have only won two.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
And have struggled to actually play in some of the
games that they've lost. They've been terrible.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
They've struggled to score any points.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Yeah, well Carolina won one game. I think the biggest
debarkle for them isn't the one win. It's the fact
that they had the number one pick in the draft
and where they went with Bryce Young and the Texans,
who had number two went with CJ. Stroud, who's one
of the MVP contenders. He is amazing. He's one of
the absolute stories of the NFL. Another big thing that
(22:19):
came out of the last round, Christian McCaffrey for the
forty nine ers had scored in seventeen straight games. That
streak finally came to an end in a thirty four
points to three win for the San Francisco forty nine ers.
When asked after the game what happened, he just said, oh,
I suck, despite the fact he'd scored in seventeen games straight.
(22:39):
But yeah, the the NFL certainly heating up. Each team
has about seven or eight games to go, depending on
which team it is. But I think it's certainly been
an unpredictable season, and a few of the teams we
thought would be really good, like the Bills, a mediocre
at best, and a few of the teams that we
thought would be awful, that the Patriots are awful.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I know the doors been locked, so I can't now leave.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Do you want to talk some NBA first, and let's
do that. All right, We'll wait until we get to
the negativity.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I'm stuck in the now, so you can talk about
anything you like. So let's go to the NBA first.
What have you got?
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Well, if it makes you feel better about being a
Tottenham fan at the moment, not much does, but imagine
being an LA Clippers fan.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
No, but the Clippers suck. You told me that years ago.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
No, but they're meant to be good because they've got Kawhi,
Leonard Paul George, Russell Westbrook and they traded for James Harden.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
But historically they suck.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Oh historically, yeah, but they're meant to be good this year.
They've seen a bloated salary cap, they've got star power
all over the place.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
So a team that's meant to be good but sucks
collecting the collective you're talking about Tottenham?
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Ye, all right, Okay, the Clippers are collecting donuts at
the moment since they traded for James Harden. Have a
guess how many games they've won. They've played five games
one they would love to have won one game. They've
just lost. They didn't get up today in a row
against So they just lost today against Denver. Granted Denver,
they have not a game.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Hang on, were they ever in that game against Denver?
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:04):
It was close down and lost by three points. I
thought they I thought they were in it early. Yeah,
they're up at one point, but they have since they
traded for former MVP and notorious troublemaker James Harden and
gave up a whole stack to get him, they have
not won a game. They have lost five in a row.
They are making Lakers the best team in LA and
(24:26):
you know how I feel about that.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
So they've only lost five in a row. Y Spurs
only lost two in a row.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Yeah, but it's a bit different in the in the
EPL because you don't play as many games. So two
in a row is quite significant.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Yeah, losing two to one to Wolves. Is are they
the Wonderers them? Yes? Yes, yes? Or the Wolves Wolverhampton. Yeah.
After leading one, Nill, after three minutes leading one Nill,
so then concede goals in the ninety first and ninety
eighth minute. Yeah, two goals in injury time at the
end of the game. That is a very Spurs thing.
That is a very very Tottenham thing.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
They spursed it up.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yeah, I think you can actually say that this is
probably the first one where under ends they've really spurs
it up. The game against Chelsea, I would. I'm going
to let through to the key. They end up with
nine players, yeah that one. Yeah, this is this is
they finished with eleven here. They just conceided two goals
in injury time.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Unforgivable despite the fact that top that the Wolves won
that game.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
The Wolves are in twelfth yeah. Yeah, and Chelsea when
they beat Spurs were I think in twelfth as well.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
So you know, well the Wolves are in twelfth the
game before as well, they've because they've got a bit
of a actually now they weren't. They are considerably lower.
I think they're about fourteenth at the time.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Anyway, Tottenham had now fallen to fourth had they won.
The rather disappointing part is had they won, they would
have been back on top because Manchester City had a
four all draw with Chelsea.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
That was an entertaining game.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
That was a very entertaining game of football. And bizarre scenes,
and Chelsea may be starting to wake up to the
fact that they're they are better than they seem to be. Anyway,
Spurs is on the top four. I'm not going to
write them off just yet. There are only two points
behind top spot. There's a long way to go.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
One more loss and guess what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
No, no, it needs to be a particular kind of loss.
If they have another loss in the foreseeable future, like
last weekend, then I'll let you play. Have someone wire
up the softer than Tottenham.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Thing to the beat aston Villa?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yeah, yeah, I think they'll bounce back because.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
They're not winning. After that, they got Man City the
following week.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
See if they beat aston Villa and beat Man City
they could go top again. So they have to. That's
all there is to it. I refuse to accept any
other outcome.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
They avoid Fulham and Luton Town until March next year.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Just when they can start their title charge. Now. I
mentioned earlier in the program penalty shootouts just an idea
because you said you were in a soccer tournament that
was decided by the corners. Yeah, if it was all
tied up, it was who'd scored, who had the most corners.
A sports writer I think from the Canberra Times and
you're talking thirty five years ago, suggested this to me
and I thought it's a great idea and is worth
(26:56):
a look. You know how offside at the moment in
football it starts at the halfway line. In soccer, you
can't be offside in your own half, but as soon
as the ball goes across halfway. Here's what they should do.
After the first period of extra time or even for
extra time, move that line up to the top of
the penalty box, up to the top of the eighteen
(27:18):
yard line. It would allow a completely different structure of game,
but it would still be football. And then if you
play say ten minutes each way and there's no goals,
then play another ten minutes each way with no offside,
or with off side only in the last six yards
where the smaller goalkeeper's box is. Think about that. You'd
have players running all over the place. It wouldn't wouldn't
(27:40):
be players defending or getting into off side positions and
just goal tending because you're still risk then a ball
being kicked down on the other end and giving up
a goal. It would still be football.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
I don't mind it. I think it only I hate
your stupid ideas.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
This wasn't my stupid idea. I can't remember his name.
I wish I could remember his name. He used to
write for soccer for the Cambridge and about nineteen eighty
nine or nineteen ninety and I can't remember his name,
but it was his idea. It's stuck in my mind
as something that I would love to see trials somewhere,
specifically in a knockout thing, and maybe they could have
something like a Lightning Premiership where sides play, don't worry
(28:17):
about playing full length games at play games under those
rules or something to see how it plays out in
real life.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Write an email to FIFA and you know that bit
where you hit the urgent.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Or or a little red exclamation mar hit that. They'll
read it.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
They'll do it. It'd be great.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Surely they listen to the super serious Spores show, doesn't everybody,
I'll catch you next week a Joe.

Okay, I look forward to it. Amplify CBA

Sunningdale Estate dot com dot are you the Super Serious
Sports Show with Chris Coleman at Adam Janssen.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Adam Jansen, tell me what's caught your eye on in the
world of sport in the past seven days and if
it's anything other than the Cricket World Cup, I'm going
to be bitterly disappointed.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
It's mostly the Cricket World Card. Good, but I found
out what time the Formula one Grand Prix starts this weekend.
Oh yeah, this is whack yeah, whack?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Well it is? Is that an appropriate word? And have
I used that right? Is that what the youth say
these days? Whack the youth's youth, youth ybf whack wak.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Anyway, there's Formula one in Las Vegas. It's on a
very fewer friendly time for Australians. So that has caught
my eye.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Hang on, hang on, hang on. Are we going to
talk Formula one on the Super Serious Boord Show?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
For more than thirty seconds.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yeah, And because you and I haven't followed it properly
this year, we're going to get a guest Formula one
person in.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I'm so glad you've done that, because, yeah, my amount
of research on Formula one. Actually I've got something. I've
got something about the Vegas Grand Prix.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Of course you do. We're also going to let's caught
my eye, the NFL starting to heat up, and I
remember we did some pre season predictions.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Oh god, yeah we did.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
We're going to do a mid season report on those predictions.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I might just leave the room for that bit. Okay,
that's all coming up, and I may be here for
all or some of it on this edition of the
Super Serious Sports Show. Well, if things progress as they
normally do after we put this program together, the first
semi final and the Cricket World Cup will be underway.
It is India versus New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Who you got India comfortably? Who do you want New
Zealand comfortably? Comfortably? Not as comfortably as as probably most people,
because I think an India Australia final would be be huge,
wonderful and how good would it be to watch Australia
beat India in a final. Although I think of Australia
and New Zealand get through, I think Australia go in
(02:00):
as favorite.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
If it is an Australian New Zealand final. Can you
imagine just how much of an up yours to the
rest of the cricketing world, that is from this part
of the world.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
New Zealand correct me if I'm wrong have made the
last two finals.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
They've made the last two finals. I think they've made
five semifinals and have never won the thing.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
No, they've never won.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
So Australia I think has only lost one World Cup
semi final, which was twenty nineteen. If Australia makes the
semi finals, they usually they lose in England probably I've
wiped that to memory. It's either that or stuff for
PTSD And you know that was the one with.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
The controversial ending with England and New Zealand in the final.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
And England won up because of a no the super
over was tied, so they won it because they'd hit
more boundaries or something.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yeah, it was something weird like that.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You know, I played in a soccer tournament when I
was younger, and in the event of a tie there
were shortened games. Was like one of those mini mini
tournament days. Whichever team had more corners took more corners one.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
That's been done before. Ye.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yeah, it was weird.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I've always had a think, can we can we talk
about soccer for a second, because well, we're gonna talk soccer. Okay,
we'll save it for later. But I have an idea
to get rid of or to at least make penalty
shootouts less happen less often. Okay, you knock out to us.
We'll come back to that later.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
All right, we're going to leak back. Trust me, we're
looping back to soccer.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I didn't want to. But okay, there's a lot we
Why why are we doing things that I don't want
to do on this show today?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Speaking of excuses, Nasa Hussein, Oh yeah, yeah, what's he said?
It's hard for England because of the timing of World
Cups on the back of an ASHES series.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Hang on, Pam, can I just ask a question at
this point? You can ask the same question I'm thinking.
If I may, may I interject with the question who
does England play in the Ashes Australia? And where has
Australia gotten to in this World Cup? The semi finals
and the last five or six World Cups? And where
did Australia have to travel to prior to the World Cup. Oh,
(04:06):
that's right, England and South Africa too. There's a shut up,
you're an idiot. You're embarrassing yourself.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
He embarrassed himself when he when he when he chose
to and when he chose to bowl first. There was
that the Gabba.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
There is a book. There is a book to be written.
And actually I know guys who could do this. I
might suggest it to them.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I've written a book.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I know you have. There was another book to be written,
Classic poor English cricket decisions. Johnny Bearstow would be the
latest of them. Actually, no, there's probably there's probably been
something from this World Cup that would probably go in there.
Can Can we come back to something a little bit
more local than the Cricket World Cup other than to
say go Assi's.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Yeah, because you didn't ask me who's going to win
the second game?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Who's gonna win the SEC game? Astralia or South Africa?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
There?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Why would I bother asking you? Have you heard of
Gareth Morgan?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Is he related to Owen?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
No, I don't think so. I'd not heard of I
don't think so. Very quickly, well, Morgan is a very
common name, so probably not. The captain of the Mudura
b Mudurra Queensland names Okay Mudurra Barton Irang and District's
cricket Club third grade team is Gareth Morgan. He is
the captain thereof Last week they were playing a game
(05:17):
against Surface Paradise at the Kerrara Community Center and the
Service Paradise side. They were doing it easy, they were
doing it real easy. Coming up to the fortieth over,
the last over they needed five runs, they had six
wickets in hand. How they go upsteps Gareth Morgan strides
in and I will read to you now from Wisden
dot com. He first removed opener Jay Garland for sixty five,
(05:40):
caught by Ethan Wells. What followed was extraordinary dot dot dot.
I'll get to this now. Connor Matheson, Michael Curtain, Wade McDougall,
Riley Eckersley and Brody Feelen were all then dismissed off
five consecutive deliveries. Surface Paradise collapsed from one hundred and
seventy four for four to one hundred and seventy four
all out and Gareth Morgan took in that last over
(06:03):
six for none off six deliveries. It's a quadruple hat trick.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
That's impressive. That is more than impressed. Spin. I don't
know right arm, left arm.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I don't he bowls. He bowls well. Apparently the umpire
said to it at the start of the over, you'll
need to take a hat trick or something to win
the game. And he did seven for sixteen from seven overs,
and in true captaincy style, had top scored for his
side earlier with thirty nine. And his father said, Gareth
(06:36):
won't tell you, but as a young bloke he once
took five wickets in and over. He didn't get six
because there was only five wickets left at the start
of the over. So for Gareth Morgan, nothing new. But
I know we haven't dish one out for a while
AJ but six for none in and over in any
great decree, I don't care whether it's international, district or
third grade on the Gold Coast, Gareth Morgan, we slut you.
(06:57):
We don't usually talk much about when fixes are released
because you know, in the green scheme of things, a
fixture is release, teams play their seasons and away we go.
But we have had the National Rugby League draw land
after much conjecture and the AFL somehow managing to let
the NERL get the jump on them. And the only
stuff I've seen about the AFL draw has really been
in the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Aj, I'm not sure how tired I am. Okay, but
that AFL draw that really confused?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Are we going to start there?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Can we start there?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
We can start there?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Look, then draw. This is my confused face.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
All I want to say about the Eneral draw is
congratulations to them on putting out the Eternal and the
NERL double draw altogether so you can you can plan
your entire.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I'll tell you the same thing about the NRL draw.
I was on both Camber Wrapped and the Christin and
Knights Breakfas show this week to talk about the NRL draw.
A lot of people ask and go, do the Raiders
have a hard draw or a soft draw? I was like, well,
people said we had a soft draw soft draw last year? Right?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
That did? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
No, the Raiders only played Paramatta once last year. That
is not a soft draw. You meant to play the
crap teams twice.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
We only play paramattter once next year? Yeah, in out
round three or four.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Therefore we're playing some one of the good teams twice.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I think we only get Melbourne once, Penrith once and
who else was in the top four? Who else finished
in the top four? I should know this, we should
know that. Anyway, we played three of the top four once.
It was a couple of months ago. I've moved on.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
They got pole axed.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
And we played the Warriors.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Oh no, the Warriors and the Warriors in Melbourne. That
were the other top four teams.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I said Melbourne, I said Melbourne Warriors for the other
team Melbourn, Penwrith Warriors and who Brisbane Brisbane? Yeah, I
think we only played Brisbane once as well. We played
the Warriors twice once the days in christ Church.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Brisbane versus the Raiders would be a really good game
because both teams are only good for sixty minutes.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah. Anyway, moving to the AFL draw, because that's the
that's our coverage of the NIL draw. If you want more,
google it, it's on. It's online. The AFL is going
to have opening round next year, so not round one, No,
they're gonna have They're gonna have round one as well,
so round zero, no, no opening round and then round one.
(09:01):
You're scratching your nose at me at this point you look.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Borrowing my brow and it's got nothing to do with you,
will you merv hughes Mo.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
You still haven't sponsored me in November. You're being cheap
or you're just delaying the inevitable. It's going to happenyday today.
Oh good, there we go. Thursday night opening round, Sydney
versus Melbourne at the SCG, Friday night Brisbane versus Carlton
at the Gabba, Saturday afternoon Gold Coast versus Richmond, and
then Saturday night GWS versus Collingwood. That's opening round giants.
(09:35):
I think, I think so. I think it's tremendous marketing.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
So there's an opening round, yeah, but there's also a
round one. Yeah, so after one round, after round one,
some of the teams could have a two and oho
and two record.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yes, yes, that'll do me. There'll be teams that have
played two games by the end of round one. The
rest of round one or round one proper is then,
can't be Richmond on a Thursday night, Collingwood and Sydney
on Friday long and se killed a frio and Brisbane,
Essendon and Hawthorne on Saturday, Port and West Coast and
the Western Bulldogs v Melbourne on Sunday. You will notice
that there are two teams not mentioned in round one,
(10:11):
being g WS and the Gold Coast. Now the AFL
have come out and said they do it. They're doing
this because they want to give the Northern States teams
a bit of a push, because New South Wales and
Queensland have basically been stiffed in the past few years
by the AFL Shenanigans. So that means that there are
(10:32):
they're trying to capitalize on the NRL being in Vegas
and not playing as many games in Sydney to start with,
and so on. Right, so in opening around they're PUTTINGWS
and the Gold Coast on as star attractions, and then
in round one they're not playing Gold Coast or GWS.
Does that much make sense to you?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
None of this makes sense to me.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Can I give you one more thing about them?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
The Victorians are making up their own language. Again.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
The other thing at that risk of trying to confuse
things even further, if you're trying to give GWS and
Gold Coast a bit more of a push, which the
AFL say they are by having this totally unnecessary opening half.
Round Round four is the AFLs gather Round where they
put everyone into Adelaide and play at different stadiums, because
(11:19):
that's how you gather. You go to good last year,
but it's how you gather. You go to different places.
You don't put them all in one place like they
do in Magic Ground. You play some at this ground,
some at that ground because their games go for too long,
and one game goes up to the Adelaide Hills. It's
a teeny tiny ground. It's very hard to get to
which two teams. I'll give you one guess which two teams,
the two that might need a bit of a push
along and a higher profile than the AFL are playing
(11:41):
at the smallest ground at the most unattractive times. Dot
of the AFLs gather Round.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
The Gold Coast Suns and the GWS Giants.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
So I rest my case. It is a complete shammozzle.
The rest of the drawer will mean nothing. It's all stupid.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
The Super serious Sports Show, mister.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Jansen, it's time to do something that we haven't done
in a very long time on this program Talk Formula one. Well,
you can always argue that we've never actually talked Formula one.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
No, we've talked Formula one, especially those times where I
said that VA Supercars is more interesting.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
We talked Formula one for thirty seconds at a stretch.
That would be the longest we ever done. But today,
not only are you talking Formula one, we have a.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Guest, we have a guest.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Hello.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Oh, Kelly got theme music, she got a fan fair.
I got them music. But I want sweepers and stings
and you don't do that.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
So you know, it's a podcast, not a radio show.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I don't care. It's also a radio show.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Also a radio show that a podcast. Anyway, Kelly from
our sales departments have to deal with every week every week. Yeah,
you have to deal with it every week. Kelly has
to deal with this every daily.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yeah, I'm sorry for you.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
She works in our sales department, but she also works
for us here on Hit one O four point seven
as an announcer. But Keeley is one of the biggest
Formula one fans. I know I've seen.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
You in your in your nice Ferrari jacket. What you
aren't aware. A few weeks ago, I came in after
I'd been to the gym, and I was wearing a
track suit and actual matching proper tracksuit, and someone said, gee,
that looks like kind of like Killy's Ferrari jacket. And
I look down at it. It's a red and black
tracksuit top.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
No, it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
And then I saw you in the jacket a few
days later. That jacket cost about, I don't know, a
gazillion times more than my track suit.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Yeah, little, it's probably too much.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Yeah anyway, any who, any who, the Las Vegas Grand
Prix is on this weekend. It's very very viewer friendly
time for Australian fans of five pm on Sunday for
the race. So we thought, let's talk some F one
this week. Let's get an F one fan in you.
You're always trying to talk to me about Formula one, Killy,
(13:38):
What are the big storylines heading into the race for
those who've paid very little attention? Like I know that
Max for Stappen for Stappen as some people call him,
has won almost every race.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
So what you're saying is that it hasn't exactly been
vintage ex signing Formula one.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
All right, Okay, well it depends as long as you
kind of block off Max from the start. We know
he's going to win whatever, then you watch everyone else race.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I was a Formula One fan in the days of
Wellton Center. May he resume peace, But Nelson p Kue,
you had Nigel Mansell, there was and then there's a
whole host of other guys who could potentially win races. Yes,
that doesn't seem to be the case now is There's.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
A couple McLaren The McLaren boys, Piastre and Norris have
really stepped up this season after the summer break. They
just something happen with their car and they've been driving
it well. Lando. Norris has gotten second in so many
races this year. It hasn't got his first win yet.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
So we're just hoping for a blowout from Max Forstappen.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Right, any race I watch, I'm hoping I do like Max,
but I just want to make it more interesting.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Okay, okay're the only one who does Does he drive
for Ferrari?
Speaker 5 (14:46):
No, he's Red Bull.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Everyone wants it to be more interested.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Who are the Ferrari drivers?
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Is Charles Leclerc and Carlos Signs?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Seeing now look cle A couple of years ago, though,
I were saying this guy is going to win everything
he want.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Good the Australian Grand Prix last year I watched that.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
No, he's very good, he's just in a terrible car.
Ferrari has not done well with their cars this year.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
About Danny Ricka has Danny rich.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
So he broke he came back to Formula One midway
through the year, then he broke his hand and so
he was off for five weeks, and then he came
back for Mexico and he qualified fourth in his tractor
of an Alpha Tower.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
It's awful that it's a.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
Terrible car, terrible car. And so last week he didn't
do too well. But this week I'm really hoping he
will because he's just been doing getting so much better.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Is the step and winning because he's just the best driver,
or is it because he's in the best car car?
Speaker 5 (15:47):
I would say best car. He's a very very good driver.
But if you had people like Norris Piastre, laclerk Yukisnoda
is really really good, very talented drivers, if you had
them in a red Bull car, it would be.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Very very I have a question now about this weekend's
Grand Prix. Okay, what do you know about the track?
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Okay, so it's shaped like a pig.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
It is it is shaped like a pig. Hang on,
we'll go back to it. There we go. It is
an upside down.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Pigron went Homer and the Simpsons movie fight a pig.
That's what it looks like.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Ye, So that was that was my bit. That's the
only bit of research I've done about the track actually.
And on the curbing, yes, you've got that as well.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Yeah, they've got the clubs, clubs.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
And spades and hearts and diamonds on the curb.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Oh really, it's really cool to look cool. There's a
lot of cool reasons to watch the watch the Grand Prix.
Like we said, it starts at five pm on Sunday's.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Australian and Southeastern.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Time, so it's ten pm over in America.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yeah, yeah, which I read that they've done for European audiences,
but works out really well Frustralian audience.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
There's only a couple of races during the year that
work out really well for US. Japan is one of them,
and Las Vegas is another.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Who's your Last Quest? Who's your you take? You said
that you watch a lot of the race and you
just sort of take max out the equation. Let's take
max out the equation. Who's going to come second? I
because if I ask you who's going to win.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
It's always going to be back. I have a couple
I would love to see Hamilton get up there, but
the murk has really gone downhill the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
That's I know, that's a real pity.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
She feels genuine on that you feel like.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Genuinely like Hamilton. But I have a have a feeling
that there's a good chance Lando Norris is up there.
He's been doing so well, he's doing great in the
car Lander. Norris has got to be second, and it's
gonna be Perez or Hamilton for third. With Charles Leclair,
I wish I'd love that. He's one of my favorites.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I reckon, I reckon, you'll get Stepan and and someone
else will knock each other out and zipping come through
will be Oscar piastre Well.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
The pit lane exit is on a corner, which then
is the slower vehicles will then be on the racing
line for the faster vehicles. Cool, it's going to be
absolute chaos.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Chaos. Cartage Formula one, five o'clock Sunday, afternoon ten o'clock
Vegas time. Saturday night. I'm looking forward to it. Saturday
Night Grand Prix, a little bit of Saturday Night Fever,
even I get. I guarantee at some stage you'll get
to mention a reference to that in the in the covery.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Saturday Night Fever.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Absolutely you will. So this is a bit of the
program where I may just decide to walk out at
some stage because Adam has said, we're going to talk
about things that I don't want to talk about. We're
going to look back at the predictions that we made
at the start of the year for the NFL.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
You gonna skip two segments because we're going to talk
about Tottenham now.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Yeah. See, like I said, I I would leave now,
except there's one more problem. You don't know how to
drive this desk right. You don't know what happens on
this site.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
It's already recording. I know where the stop button is.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Oh okay, so it wouldn't be nineteen minutes of silence
while you sit there and try and work out which
button to stop it with.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I don't know. I just roll people through the results.
But it's funny, or if I get to laugh at
you in person.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Okay, so revisit our predictions from pre NFL season.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
So at the start of the when we did our
Super Bowl predictions, Yes, you had the Bills losing to
the forty nine ers.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I did.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Their Bills are currently five and five, the forty nine
Ers are six and three. I don't think the Bills
are going to make the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I didn't watch their game this week, but I'm told
it was not pretty.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
No, they lost to Denver.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yeah, yeah, I didn't get a chance to watch the game.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Denver suck.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I'm aware of this.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Well, you're not alone because I had the Bills making
the Super Bowl as well, except I had them winning.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Okay, so I have them.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Beating the Philadelphia Eagles. Phillya going well, Phillia eight and one.
Now for a smoky you put the Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Yeah, well that's that's just the kiss of death, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Because this is the best bit, that's my favorite. This
is the reason we're doing this.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Segment because they had.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Because they got Jimmy g yep, and he was finally
going to have a team built around him. It's Jimmy
G up to these days not much and banking up
the quarterback and the coach that hired is he's unemployed. Yeah, exactly, so, yeah,
but there is good news. Chris Coleman, it'll be hilarious.
They won two in a row and they're five and five.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Saying they're five and five with the standings now, it'll
be hilarious if they suddenly went all the way, because
I don't think I put money on it.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
They've benched their quarterback, sacked their coach and they're five
and five.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
So my smoky was Detroit. They're currently seven and two
in division leaders. They're going very well. We both had
Patrick Mahomes is the MVP prediction. Patrick Mahomes is certainly
within the mix. You're smoky for the for the MVP.
I can't even remember who I went for tour from
Miami from the Dolphins. Yeah, I think he's in the
(20:42):
I don't think he's gonna he won't win it, but
Miami six and he's had me a good season. I
had Jared Goth as a smoky because I thought Detroit
did go really well and I don't think he's gonna
win it, but it's not completely beyond the realms of possibility.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
It hasn't been the Chiefs cake walk that some people
thought it was going to be this year.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
No, I know, there's a couple. Most of the discussion
around the Chiefs has been around who they're tight ends dating.
But we both discussed Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Yeah, that was a great idea.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
We both said it would go pear shaped. I don't
think we realized how quickly. No, No, he's not four plays.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yeah it was. It was over before it began.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
A couple of Actually I had Interestingly, you didn't give
me an answer on this. You wouldn't give me one.
But I my tip for who would be the worst team.
It's actually going to be the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
There's a reason why I didn't give you my tip
for who was going to be five.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
They're not going to be the worst team. The worst
team as it stands at the moment is the Carolina Panthers,
who've only won one game.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah, they've got time to overtake the true worst team
in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Who's the worst team?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Oh? Did you watch the Patriots?
Speaker 5 (21:48):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Yeah, the Patriots have only won two.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
And have struggled to actually play in some of the
games that they've lost. They've been terrible.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
They've struggled to score any points.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Yeah, well Carolina won one game. I think the biggest
debarkle for them isn't the one win. It's the fact
that they had the number one pick in the draft
and where they went with Bryce Young and the Texans,
who had number two went with CJ. Stroud, who's one
of the MVP contenders. He is amazing. He's one of
the absolute stories of the NFL. Another big thing that
(22:19):
came out of the last round, Christian McCaffrey for the
forty nine ers had scored in seventeen straight games. That
streak finally came to an end in a thirty four
points to three win for the San Francisco forty nine ers.
When asked after the game what happened, he just said, oh,
I suck, despite the fact he'd scored in seventeen games straight.
(22:39):
But yeah, the the NFL certainly heating up. Each team
has about seven or eight games to go, depending on
which team it is. But I think it's certainly been
an unpredictable season, and a few of the teams we
thought would be really good, like the Bills, a mediocre
at best, and a few of the teams that we
thought would be awful, that the Patriots are awful.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I know the doors been locked, so I can't now leave.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Do you want to talk some NBA first, and let's
do that. All right, We'll wait until we get to
the negativity.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I'm stuck in the now, so you can talk about
anything you like. So let's go to the NBA first.
What have you got?
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Well, if it makes you feel better about being a
Tottenham fan at the moment, not much does, but imagine
being an LA Clippers fan.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
No, but the Clippers suck. You told me that years ago.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
No, but they're meant to be good because they've got Kawhi,
Leonard Paul George, Russell Westbrook and they traded for James Harden.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
But historically they suck.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Oh historically, yeah, but they're meant to be good this year.
They've seen a bloated salary cap, they've got star power
all over the place.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
So a team that's meant to be good but sucks
collecting the collective you're talking about Tottenham?
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Ye, all right, Okay, the Clippers are collecting donuts at
the moment since they traded for James Harden. Have a
guess how many games they've won. They've played five games
one they would love to have won one game. They've
just lost. They didn't get up today in a row
against So they just lost today against Denver. Granted Denver,
they have not a game.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Hang on, were they ever in that game against Denver?
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:04):
It was close down and lost by three points. I
thought they I thought they were in it early. Yeah,
they're up at one point, but they have since they
traded for former MVP and notorious troublemaker James Harden and
gave up a whole stack to get him, they have
not won a game. They have lost five in a row.
They are making Lakers the best team in LA and
(24:26):
you know how I feel about that.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
So they've only lost five in a row. Y Spurs
only lost two in a row.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Yeah, but it's a bit different in the in the
EPL because you don't play as many games. So two
in a row is quite significant.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Yeah, losing two to one to Wolves. Is are they
the Wonderers them? Yes? Yes, yes? Or the Wolves Wolverhampton. Yeah.
After leading one, Nill, after three minutes leading one Nill,
so then concede goals in the ninety first and ninety
eighth minute. Yeah, two goals in injury time at the
end of the game. That is a very Spurs thing.
That is a very very Tottenham thing.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
They spursed it up.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yeah, I think you can actually say that this is
probably the first one where under ends they've really spurs
it up. The game against Chelsea, I would. I'm going
to let through to the key. They end up with
nine players, yeah that one. Yeah, this is this is
they finished with eleven here. They just conceided two goals
in injury time.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Unforgivable despite the fact that top that the Wolves won
that game.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
The Wolves are in twelfth yeah. Yeah, and Chelsea when
they beat Spurs were I think in twelfth as well.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
So you know, well the Wolves are in twelfth the
game before as well, they've because they've got a bit
of a actually now they weren't. They are considerably lower.
I think they're about fourteenth at the time.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Anyway, Tottenham had now fallen to fourth had they won.
The rather disappointing part is had they won, they would
have been back on top because Manchester City had a
four all draw with Chelsea.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
That was an entertaining game.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
That was a very entertaining game of football. And bizarre scenes,
and Chelsea may be starting to wake up to the
fact that they're they are better than they seem to be. Anyway,
Spurs is on the top four. I'm not going to
write them off just yet. There are only two points
behind top spot. There's a long way to go.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
One more loss and guess what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
No, no, it needs to be a particular kind of loss.
If they have another loss in the foreseeable future, like
last weekend, then I'll let you play. Have someone wire
up the softer than Tottenham.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Thing to the beat aston Villa?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yeah, yeah, I think they'll bounce back because.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
They're not winning. After that, they got Man City the
following week.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
See if they beat aston Villa and beat Man City
they could go top again. So they have to. That's
all there is to it. I refuse to accept any
other outcome.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
They avoid Fulham and Luton Town until March next year.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Just when they can start their title charge. Now. I
mentioned earlier in the program penalty shootouts just an idea
because you said you were in a soccer tournament that
was decided by the corners. Yeah, if it was all
tied up, it was who'd scored, who had the most corners.
A sports writer I think from the Canberra Times and
you're talking thirty five years ago, suggested this to me
and I thought it's a great idea and is worth
(26:56):
a look. You know how offside at the moment in
football it starts at the halfway line. In soccer, you
can't be offside in your own half, but as soon
as the ball goes across halfway. Here's what they should do.
After the first period of extra time or even for
extra time, move that line up to the top of
the penalty box, up to the top of the eighteen
(27:18):
yard line. It would allow a completely different structure of game,
but it would still be football. And then if you
play say ten minutes each way and there's no goals,
then play another ten minutes each way with no offside,
or with off side only in the last six yards
where the smaller goalkeeper's box is. Think about that. You'd
have players running all over the place. It wouldn't wouldn't
(27:40):
be players defending or getting into off side positions and
just goal tending because you're still risk then a ball
being kicked down on the other end and giving up
a goal. It would still be football.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
I don't mind it. I think it only I hate
your stupid ideas.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
This wasn't my stupid idea. I can't remember his name.
I wish I could remember his name. He used to
write for soccer for the Cambridge and about nineteen eighty
nine or nineteen ninety and I can't remember his name,
but it was his idea. It's stuck in my mind
as something that I would love to see trials somewhere,
specifically in a knockout thing, and maybe they could have
something like a Lightning Premiership where sides play, don't worry
(28:17):
about playing full length games at play games under those
rules or something to see how it plays out in
real life.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Write an email to FIFA and you know that bit
where you hit the urgent.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Or or a little red exclamation mar hit that. They'll
read it.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
They'll do it. It'd be great.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Surely they listen to the super serious Spores show, doesn't everybody,
I'll catch you next week a Joe.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Okay, I look forward to it. Amplify CBA
