Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
No matter what they're spoil, where it's playing or the
teams behind it, We've got This is the water Boys.
Thanks to Tasmac, Devin Ford, Montston, Bridgewater and Smifton, your
local Koboda dealer Ashcroft.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Rayshaw well when he touches for Brayshorten or no.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Oh no, the power is out here at the Gabba.
We have absolutely no idea what is going on, and
the players from both sides are just coming together in
the center of the ground. The umpires just coming together
as well.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
Just work out the plan of attack.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
There's doll twelve minutes to go in this final term,
a forty point lead to the Brisbane Lions. They will
certainly be hoping that the lights come back on soon
and they're able to finish this one off strongly.

Speaker 5 (00:51):
Yeah, the lights did come back on, but not before
a bizarre night at the Gabba. Good morning everyone, Welcome
to the water Boys.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Incredible so last.

Speaker 5 (01:00):
Night, as a walcome new in cam Brown, the lights
out during a football game took us back to nineteen
ninety six at Waverley Park accidence and killed him.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
But thankfully this game got done. Unlike that one, well,
we had a delay.

Speaker 6 (01:12):
It was a delay in the end. Good morning to
you too, Brent. Thirty minutes.

Speaker 5 (01:17):
I reckon it was thirty to forty in the end, Yeah,
it was. It was a long time and the players
were back inside the change rooms and we wonder if
they're going to come back out, and then you got
injuries to worry about when you're cooling down, obviously, so
it was all a bit bizarre. No one said to
know what was going on. The commentators lost comms as well,
so that was good.

Speaker 7 (01:33):
For Melbourne because they saw it back into the game.
They did, they did, the lights returned.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
It was forty point margin when the lights went out,
and then they only got the job done by eleven
points in the end, Bridsbane fourteen nine to ninety three
to Melbourne thirteen to four eighty two. We'll talk about
it a bit more later, but definitely a bizarre, bizarre
way to start.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
The round, that's for sure. Last night. So let's go
through some of the other scores from overnight to brown.

Speaker 7 (01:56):
Yeah, Australia and Ecuador in a friendly last night in
the soccer and once again Graham Arnold's boys got the
job done up there at Parramatta. Australia three Ecuador one.
A good result. There's still not a match to play
between the two teams.

Speaker 5 (02:08):
Absolutely a little closer to home the Gray Cricket Final.
Unbelievable day yesterday between University.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
And Linda's Van.

Speaker 5 (02:14):
Linda's Farm were in all sorts of strife nine wicket
down before a one hundred and ninety six last week
at partnership between Charlie Wakem and Matt Wilki have Linda's
Fun down nine for three forty nine at stumps on
day one Charlie Wakem two hundred and eleven off two
hundred and thirty eight one of the great first great
innings from Chuck Wakem. So big day ahead over there

(02:36):
at Bluntston today the Shield Final two is underway. Brannie
at the gab at the Waka.

Speaker 7 (02:40):
Sorry pretty delicate, delicately poised, I would say this one.
Brent Victoria was send in by Western Australia one hundred
and ninety five and day two at stumps in reply
Western Australia five for one hundred and seventy five. A
handy partnership between Turner and Philip Pay Turner forty nine
nine out Phipay two twenty five not out Sutherland the

(03:01):
best of the Victorian bowlers with four for forty one.
So the twenty runs behind they'd like to punch through.
And they've been the best team all year Western Australia.
But if I were to continue that partnership and get
one hundred and fifty two hundred ahead to make it
pretty hard for Victoria, I would have thought absolutely.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
A couple of games in the NFL last night.

Speaker 5 (03:17):
Melbourne Storm were too good for West Tigers twenty four
to twelve in the early game, and then the first
time the two Brisbane teams have gone head to head
in the late game and it was the Broncos getting
it done over the Dolphins eighteen to twelve. I had
one game in the Tasbany Netball League last night as well,
Hawks fifty five Devon were forty so fifteen point win
their fifteen goal. When I should say to the Hawks camp,

(03:38):
so lots of scores overnight.

Speaker 6 (03:39):
Yeah big? And what we got lined up in the
show Brent.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
More importantly, well, plenty going on.

Speaker 5 (03:44):
Look forward to covering off the week that was with you,
because plenty is always happening in local, national and international sport.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Michaeh.

Speaker 5 (03:50):
Simpson will join us from Long Cestern Tornadoes, recently resigned
point guard but not off playing wnbl Over the NBA.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
One off seasons. Looking forward to chatting to Micah.

Speaker 5 (03:59):
Gary Carbine will join us to the new NWLFL president.
That competition gets underway on the Northwest coast later today's
looking forward to chatting to Gary about all things happening
in the NWFL. We'll down at the launch of the
Pavilion a couple of nights ago, Brandy the new sports
bar and sala maker, and we'll talk to Bill Brownlets
who's a part owner of the pavilion. Looking forward to

(04:19):
that chat. We took the tape recorder.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Down and hit recording it and that's it was an
interesting chat to say the least. So we'll play that
for a little later on as well.

Speaker 5 (04:27):
And then now to this morning Clarence Football Club coach
Peter Ryan. The TSL SE's not too far away. We'll
discuss everything happening in AFL round two so far. Tim
Payne had a nice chat to him during the week
two about his career, past president and future. Looking forward
to playing that for you as well, and we'll wind
up the show having a look at the soccer hockey
in net ballhead this weekend.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
That's all coming up for you on the water Boys
this morning.

Speaker 5 (04:49):
Stick with us over the next sixty minutes, this hour,
sixty minutes, the next hour full of fun and for
VOLI for you for your Saturday morning do it all.
Thanks to tas Mack, your local commoda dealer.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
This's the water Boys.

Speaker 5 (05:01):
Thanks to Tasmack, you're local Kabata dealer. It's the water
Boys with Brent Costello and Cam Brown.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
Reflecting on score from the past seven days. Here's the
water Boys.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
Weak it wise, There's always plenty happening locally, nationally and internationally,
but let's start locally. Cam, and we've got some news
on the Hobart footy club. They've obviously had a player
number shortage over the off season. Some good news though,
is that they will have a team All Beat in
the reserves competition this year.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
So no senior team for Hoe about this year.

Speaker 5 (05:27):
Still has to be ratified by the SFL Board and
it's clubs on Monday night, but at least they're not
going into recess entirely.

Speaker 7 (05:34):
No, It's obviously not ideal, but the best of a
bad situation in the end.

Speaker 6 (05:40):
What was it? Were they concerned.

Speaker 7 (05:42):
If they dropped out of the competition altogether, then to
try and resurrect the club for one of a better word,
it becomes a really difficult task.

Speaker 5 (05:50):
It's always difficult. We've seen clubs going to recess across
the state in recent times. They haven't been able to
get back. So I think as long as you've got
something there, Brownie, it's a lot easier than coming back
from nothing.

Speaker 6 (06:00):
Brit what are you hearing?

Speaker 7 (06:01):
You're close to the grand in these situations, so Hobart
obviously a mass exodus of players. It seems to be
common at times when football clubs for whatever reason can't field
a team in a competition. They lose a group of
players and they can't replace them.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
And big clubs to at the moment. Obviously, Gonorkey, we knows,
had its issues. There'd been rumors about your Norfolk, but
David I burned the new SFL president quickly hoes that
down yesterday saying they'll have teams in all three grades
this year the Eagles, which is great news, and they're
confident they'll be competitive as well.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
So that's some light at the end of the tunnel.

Speaker 5 (06:34):
But yeah, as far as numbers go, You're right, it's
a delicate.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Time for footy. There's no sugarcating that, and that's why
we need this AFL team. Brandie. It won't fix everything,
bat All, It's certainly helped, that's for sure. Let's go
to cricket.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
Moving on, Caleb Jewell been picked to play for Australia
a over.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
In New Zealand.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
A call up for Peter Hanscomb who's been picked to
go and play He's side a county deal over in England.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
So great news. Juli probably should have been a part
of the squad originally it was overlooked, but great to
see he gets his opportunity now.

Speaker 7 (07:05):
He's had a terrific twelve to twenty four months and
a can turn around pretty quickly because it probably took
him a while to find his feet.

Speaker 6 (07:11):
In all levels.

Speaker 7 (07:12):
I would have thought for Tasmanian cricket, but he's had
an outstanding season and just reward for the efforts he's
made in the runs that he's put on the board.
So who knows where this might lead for Caleb Jiell,
but a terrific result for him personally.

Speaker 5 (07:26):
Some interesting news yesterday as well and no secret about
this one that Peter Siddle has decided to.

Speaker 6 (07:32):
Finish up with He's made a couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
It's been the worst kept secret going around actually for
a long time. But he took to Instagram to announce
that he won't be with the Tigers next season. He wrote,
as the season comes to an end, so does my
time with TASMANI and Tiger. I've had a wonderful time
over the past three years and can't thank them enough
for the opportunity and support. It came at a tough
time in my life, but you all welcome me and
made me feel so happy. So thank you for that.

(07:55):
My time down there will always hold a spot in
my heart. Wish you all the best and see you
boys and so.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Been here for three years. As he said, there is
in fantastic.

Speaker 6 (08:04):
I remember when he arrived at COVID and you were
into outside.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
I was outside the hotel.

Speaker 7 (08:09):
The hotel was successful. Three years, it's got to be
said with Peter Siddle obviously now provides potentially another opportunity
for someone that's emerging as a pace bowler in the
Tasy squad. My understanding that was that he was going
to position, this move to Tasmania also to move into
a coaching career. So what do you make of that?

(08:31):
No opportunities down here.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
I wouldn't say it was an opportunity.

Speaker 5 (08:35):
I reckon it was just a case that he wanted
to get back home, right, because that's what I that
was my route on it. So that he's sort of
come and transition from playing to coaching. But you know,
good on him, and you know it's done really well
for us. But as you say, it has kept some
of our local guys out. Gave Bell, Sam Rainberd, Lawrence
Neil Smith got an opportunity the end of the season,
but these guys haven't been able to do to the

(08:55):
depth of our bowling attack. So that is one silver
lining with city, which is of Sids's departure. But no doubt
he's had a big imprint on Tasmania cricket the last
three years and one of the great great men as well,
Peter he is.

Speaker 6 (09:07):
And now speaking of cricket, you're at the rod will
for exactly medal during the war. Well you hosted it.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Now, yeah, yeah, what do you mean no doubt?

Speaker 6 (09:14):
Well, you wouldn't be there unless there's something happened.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
It was a great night. It always is a great night.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
That Rod Wolf Exactly medal, Mitt j Owen, a World
as If winner, had an unbelievable great cricket season for
Newtown and Nami Stalenberg won the pH Exactly Medal two
for North High Barts. So a couple of very impressive
winners there.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
We mentioned the Great Cricket Final off the top of
the show, but je it's set up beautiful for the
next couple of days, isn't it.

Speaker 7 (09:38):
Well waken with two hundred and Matt Wilkie to come
in and you know absolutely nine for what was it
nine one hundred and forty odd March I had a
real collapse. Lindas fan gee A University wanted to take
that last wicket early this morning. They've got a really
good betting lineup, it's got to be said to UNI

(09:59):
and Linda's far without obviously Nathan Ellis, who's away with
the Australian squad at the moment playing.

Speaker 6 (10:05):
One day cricket. They'd love to have him.

Speaker 7 (10:07):
So they do have a strong you know, when you
look at players like Dorin and Ward and Pain just
to name a few, they will have to bowl well
Linda's fun. But having said that, it could be a
certainly a lot bigger title than UNI would have been
thinking about four o'clock yesterday afternoon.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah, absolutely, did you catch the Inevitable last weekend? It's
a good run, amazing, wasn't it.

Speaker 7 (10:29):
And there was probably held up a little bit too
looking for a run around about the four hundred meter mark,
but it finished it as well as anyone to run
third in a massive race. But alligator blood for arguments amazing,
not arguments like it did.

Speaker 5 (10:42):
Yeah, it did, it did, and there was a lot
of hype going in saying that the connections thought it
might go alright on the big stars and that's exactly
what happened. So well done to everyone involved with The Inevitable.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Just quickly too.

Speaker 5 (10:52):
Angelica vince Layah was signed with the Hobart Chargers during
the week too for the female program. She's from Greece
and been playing in Poland recently. A bit of a
bully baller ball Or reports Brownie doesn't mind getting a
bit physical out there, so that'd be great for the
Chargers women's team coming up for MBO one, which starts
next week.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Can you believe it?

Speaker 6 (11:10):
So?

Speaker 5 (11:10):
Looking forward to that, looking forward to the rest of
the show this morning as well. Now too, we're going
to chat to Peter Ryan, I'm going to hear from
Tim Paim. We're going to look at the AFL for
round two. Later this hour. We've got Bill Brownless joining us.
Also Gary Carpenter from the NWFL. But up next, we're
talking basketball with lon Seston Tornadoes point guard Micas Simpson,
who resigned with the club during the week.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
That is next year on the water Boys right across
Tasmania thanks to Tasmak, your local Cobota dealer.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
This is the water Boys.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
On a Saturday morning ride across Tasmania.

Speaker 5 (11:43):
You are locked to the water Boys with Brent Costello
and Cam Brown.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
It's time to shoot some hoops as the water Boys
talk all things basketball.

Speaker 5 (11:51):
Some great news for the Lon Seston Tornadoes during the
week with one of their young guns re signing for
the upcoming NBO one season. Talking about MICUs and of
course who is an absolute start and she joined us
on the line.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Now, Mike, welcome to the show.

Speaker 8 (12:05):
Coome werning guy. Thanks for having me.

Speaker 5 (12:06):
Great to have you on board. Easy decision for you
to resign with the Torns.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
No doubt.

Speaker 5 (12:11):
You've been around the club for a little while now,
so just a formality was it to get the signature
on the paper?

Speaker 8 (12:17):
Yeah, definitely. There's nothing like coming back home to play,
so it was never really never really had any other option.
And obviously I'm still studying down here and my family's
down here, so it just makes sense to come back
and play for the Torns.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Absolutely. What do you love for about the club?

Speaker 5 (12:32):
Obviously, Sarah's a Sarahvelle is a great coach, and it
must just been a nice place to be around, especially
when you've got the likes of Keeley Frowling and hopefully
Kelsey Griffin coming back this year as well.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
You surrounded by some pretty good talent, aren't you.

Speaker 8 (12:44):
Yeah, exactly right, And I think that just speaks highly
of the community and the culture that Sarah's kind of
driven for the Torns over the last few years. Everybody
like our home games are easily the best in the league,
and we have the best fans in the league. So
to refinn plays like Keeley, get like interest of Kelsey
to come back and play that to speaks highly of
our community and what we're trying to do. So I'm

(13:06):
really excited to.

Speaker 7 (13:08):
Put on the show for the mi year and Micah,
has the roster actually been finalized for the group yet?

Speaker 6 (13:14):
Is there still a number of signings you've got to do?

Speaker 9 (13:17):
Not really, We've got our core group definitely thoughted, and
trainings have been good, but there's definitely one more spot
position that's available and hopefully refeel that, if not before
the season, during.

Speaker 7 (13:29):
The season, and what have you been working in the
off season because it was terrific gear last year for
the Tornadoes unfortunately knocked out in the semi finals to
the Hawks. If you're to drill down on one or
two things that you think you need to work on
this season to even go one better and play for
a final and even win it.

Speaker 6 (13:46):
What would they be?

Speaker 8 (13:48):
I think just our preparation. Like we didn't go too
deep last year, so when we had those back to
back games and those big games with players playing big minutes,
we didn't have a lot of depth. But I think
this year we worked really hard in the preseason to
get the interest of local players down. So now we
have faith in our bench and those players coming in
and I think just a matter of executing what we

(14:10):
do at practice into games that will get us over the.

Speaker 7 (14:12):
Line this year hopefully, and you've been pretty busy obviously
studying is studying bring us up to speed of what
you're actually doing then academically, and also we know you
spend a bit of time at Bendigo recently.

Speaker 6 (14:24):
Talk us through that.

Speaker 8 (14:25):
Yeah, so that Benny Go for the past six months,
which was a crazy experience, literally a dream cometry. I've
jumped of playing in the WNBL my whole life. Unfortunately,
I injured my back in December when I was over
there and have only just started to get back on
court a little bit, but progressing well in my rehab,

(14:46):
which is exciting. And then obviously I'm at Uni. I'm
in my third year of my psychological science degree, which
is very very busy, but something that I'm really passionate
about and want to do. So on top of that,
working out a cafe a couple of times a week,
and then trying to fit everything in really.

Speaker 5 (15:04):
Michael Simpson is our guest. She is a guard with
long sets and tornadoes and she's on the water Boys
with us this morning. What did you bring back our
guests from Bendy Go, Micah. Obviously with the jack jumpers,
I've seen how development, players work and they're fully integrated
into the group. Is that exactly the same for the
WNBL as well.

Speaker 8 (15:21):
Yeah, definitely, you feel part of the group every day.
I mean when the girls travel on the road, there's
coaches that stay back and work us out so that
we're not, you know, falling behind. Yeah. It was honestly
a crazy experience. Everything that I thought it would be.
The basketball was amazing. I think the biggest thing was
probably the practice habits over there, Like those girls go

(15:43):
at it every single day, and that's definitely something that
I want to bring back here and show that it's
all right to get after one another and then still
be friends off the court.

Speaker 7 (15:52):
And also, Michael, before we let you go intrastate rivalry,
you're up against the Charges in round one.

Speaker 6 (15:57):
You must be looking forward to that.

Speaker 9 (15:59):
Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 8 (16:00):
I think that's a big game obviously, the first game
of the season. Everybody wants to start off with a win,
and hopefully we have the team to do it and
perform well on the night and get it done over
the Chargers.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Michaeh.

Speaker 5 (16:11):
I can't wait to see in action. It's going to
be an awesome MBA one season. I'm sure the turn
is about to go one better in twenty twenty three.
Thanks so much for your time this morning and good luck. Awesome,
Thanks awesome to have you on the show. That's Marcus
Simpson from the Lonsest Tornadoes. Can't wait for them to
take on the Hobart Charges in round one, which isn't
too far away at all.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Plenty more still to come on the show this morning.

Speaker 5 (16:32):
Later this hour, Bill Brownless will join us form Jaelong
Footy Club Star of course. But next we go to
the Northwest Coast to talk NWFL footy, which starts this
afternoon with the new president, Gary Carpenter. That's on the
water Boys right across Tasmania thanks to Tasmac, your local
Koboda dealer.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
This here's the water Boys.

Speaker 5 (16:50):
Thanks to Tasmack, your local Kbota dealer. It is the
water Boys with Brent coross Cello and Cam Brown It's our.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
Time for the water Boys Regional Footy Round Up.

Speaker 5 (16:58):
Yes, for the first time this year, we've got a
regional footy comp starting which is exciting Cam and the
first one to kick off is the NWFL on the
Northwest Coast and joining us on the line now to
preview Round one. Is a new NWFL president, Gary Carpenh.
Welcome to the water Boys, Gary.

Speaker 10 (17:15):
Morning, Morning cam and listeners, and what a lovely morning.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Lovely to have footy back team mate.

Speaker 5 (17:21):
As I said, you're starting a little bit earlier than
the other regional competitions around the state.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Why is that?

Speaker 10 (17:27):
Got an extra round a couple of rounds this year, Brendan,
and to pit it in so we didn't clash it
with the ars at the end of the season. We've
moved it forward and we're sort of with cricket in mind.
We've overlapped with cricket for a week, but I think
once we get through this year, everything will be Okaymaz
the Caud's wonder some extra footy.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
I like it now. I noticed that Raining Premiers have
got the buy in the opening round.

Speaker 5 (17:52):
Is that a strategic move given they may have started
pre season a little bit later given the first week off?

Speaker 10 (17:57):
No, not really. It's just the word fell and it's fun.
You know. When we set the roster out for the
clubs to accept this year, there wasn't one pushback, so
everybody was happy. And with Devonport two having the buy,
it sort of helps out with a bit of cricket
in that area. But that's the way it's fill and
I think it's a good start of the season. It's
pretty pretty open and pretty even the first three games.

Speaker 6 (18:18):
And Gary, tell us about round one.

Speaker 7 (18:20):
You just mentioned that Devenport had the buy, but yeah,
tell us about some of the fixtures. And has there
been any changes in the off season to coaching personnel
among the different clubs.

Speaker 10 (18:31):
No, none, It all came. It's still much the same
and like I think what was said early with coaches
have all stayed on board. And the opening, you know,
I might pick it around today is Penguin and Smith
and Smith in the backing with all three sides this year.
So that's an excellent result. And you know, if I know,

(18:52):
for second, the NWFL and the clubs this year have
sort of formed enough teams or played enough teams in
a London and sad the odd participants this year through
the journeys and everything's excellent. Look the game of Pegman
and Smith and it's the game of the round. And
with Smith and not winning a game last year, this

(19:12):
is their chance to get a score on the board
and I reckon whichever one takes that chance. You know,
today they will be in finals footy and it's a
big game. Both both teams have got six hundred eight
and his debuting which is excellent for where we're at
and we want to promote community, community footy breadon Look,
I'm going to Pengland of course, but it's going to

(19:35):
be a great day and it's a beautiful, beautiful sunny
day and Dall Park and look a picture today and.

Speaker 7 (19:40):
Gary, can I talk about Smith and or Circular Head
because that that's a really good story is and I'm
listening to you there and you obviously really boied and
encourage that they're going to perform better. It was a
tough season for them last year. Did you work with
him in the off season and the fact that they're
seemed to be thriving with a number of teams being
involved this year, that's a great credit to the club
and obviously the NWFL.

Speaker 10 (20:03):
Yeah, look, that got really good leadership there at the
moment in Keith and the guys that Keith had got
around him and their coaches, and I think that the
thing that sort of let him move forward was how
he in person agreement or in principal agreement the other
week with the c HFA to hopefully with underage boys
and move backwards and forwards. That gives them the number

(20:26):
to sort of feel that under eight inside and their
junior side and vice versa. So that to me was
one of the best meetings I've been to for quite
a while where we had everybody on the same page
and wanting to give the kids a chance to have
a game of footy. So that gives the guys a
smith and a bit of sort of rule push along
to say, okay, let's have affair. They can crack and

(20:47):
their numbers are really good. The numbers in the seniors
are good, and the reserves, you know, they're filled full size.
Are a bit short today in the under eighteenth, but
all clubs are today, but they're all sitting around seventeen
and eighteen players, so you know night's time they'll be
up and running. And the recruit of seeing Douglas and
a few other guys back from the country that gives
them real impetus to strive. And I can see that

(21:11):
that club again bouncing back to the glory days in another.

Speaker 11 (21:15):
Year or two.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
Fantastic stuff.

Speaker 5 (21:17):
We know numbers a problem around the state, so great
to hear things are looking good in the NWFL. Gary
Carpenter is a new NWFL president. Gary, you had to
step into the big shoes of Andrew Richardson, who's obviously
been in that job for a very long time.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
How are you finding the role so far?

Speaker 5 (21:32):
And what do you think the biggest challenge face in
the NWFL is in twenty twenty three.

Speaker 10 (21:37):
I look toss it was a big role to jump
into Brent with Richard being there so long, and they've
done a Marves job. Considered that it was basically volunteers
and Vicki Slater as a GM as such all competition
manager before Morgan come on board. So they failed in
the torch and done a Marves job. I'm very lucky
they've got Morgan news as the comp manager and Jesus,

(22:00):
he's an established young fellow that loves footy, loves the
admin side of things, and you don't have to do
a lot. Fethniquely does most of the work for you
or you do is that they are stuff in between
band probably like everywhere else. The biggest challenge our clubs
so would be volunteers. Yeah. I said earlier that they've

(22:20):
created enough enough more teams to play them one hundred
and twenty hundred and thirty new participants. But every team
we create, we've got to find more volunteers. And it
was mentioned last we're you're a junior meeting and you
sort of forget about that. You're all on a roller
coaster moving forward getting more players, and sometimes volunteers don't
come with them, So that's that's going to be a

(22:42):
big challenge. We're going to try and address that through
the year and looking forward in the next year sort
of come up with ways of bringing people on board.
But the meetings with the clubs we've had the date
with our board meetings and their exect meetings. You know,
I can probably one hundred percent say that every club
delegate and chairman are all all on the same page.

(23:03):
We all want to grow the league and throw our
profile and I think that's where we really aim and
to sort of get that big success this year that
we are really stable league. People want to play for you,
and people want to come and watch footy break.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Fantastic to hear Gary.

Speaker 5 (23:18):
That's awesome news, mate, Good luck with round one, looking
forward to saying how to one folds today and we'll
keep in touch with you throughout the year, if that's
all right to get keep us up to date with
what's happening in the NWFL. Thanks for your time Gary
this morning on the water Boys.

Speaker 10 (23:32):
Thanks breaking Cam and wish you guys all the best
and anybody going on to the foot of the day.

Speaker 11 (23:35):
Have a great day.

Speaker 5 (23:36):
Get on your Gary, Gary Carpenter, he is the new
NWFL president. That particular competition kicking off today up on
the Northwest coast, which we are looking forward to immenseally.
Lots more still to come on the show this morning
and our to Peter Ryan from Clarence will join us.
We'll look at the AFL so far and what's to
come for around too. Tim Payne will join us as well.
But up next we're talking pub band with Billy Browness

(23:58):
who's going to be on the show this next here
on the water Boys. Thanks to Tasmak, your local Commuta dealer.
We are with you right across tas Man now on
this Saturday morning.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
This is the water Boys, thanks.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
To Tasmak, your local Kabuta dealer.

Speaker 5 (24:11):
It is the water Boys with your old friends here
Brent Costello and Cam Brown. And speaking of old friends, Brownie,
you and I wandered down with the water Boys tape
recorder on Thursday night to the opening of a brand
new establishment on sala Maker Place called the Pavilion, which
is a brand new sports bar and full disclosure sparring

(24:31):
partner Blarry Brownless has a slice of the pie down
there and.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
It's It's a nice little setup, isn't it. I enjoyed
myself there Thursday.

Speaker 6 (24:38):
Night, really enjoyed it, Brent.

Speaker 7 (24:40):
Lots of sports screens, They've got a tab in there,
you can hire out, some boots, some private booths, good
great drink. It's a boutique bar, isn't it. We haven't
got a sports bar of the like down at Salamenca
and that's the niche. I think they were, I guess
trying to market and obviously catering for females as well.

(25:04):
And we had a really good night, well not to
all involved, particularly Blair.

Speaker 5 (25:07):
The big draw card down there on Thursday night was
Billy Brownless, of course, a former Geelong superstar. How you
wanted into town for the big launch and we managed
to catch up with Bill and Blair on Thursday night. Well,
we're here at the new establishment on Salamanca Place, the Pavilion,
which is owned by the Brownless brothers, Blair and Bill

(25:27):
and the castlesus Anson. Of course I've got my share unfortunately,
but Blair, you must be proud standing here to joint
you now.

Speaker 12 (25:35):
Own now and obviously this and it's been fantastic because
this is a former fat fish site as people would
know around Hobart, and we've converted to the Pavilion sports bar,
so we saw a need that in South America there
was no sports bars around with the footy Friday night,
Saturday night, cricket, whatever you like, jack jumpers, everything. The

(25:55):
new hottest place in Hobart is the Pavilion.

Speaker 13 (25:59):
So the catch cry meet you at the pav Breno.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
You make it up yourself.

Speaker 4 (26:03):
Ah.

Speaker 12 (26:03):
Yes, we had the media team working on that one,
but they're really excited. I know you're feelthy personally because
there was five percent left and I had to give
that to either Bill or yourself. Say family first.

Speaker 5 (26:16):
Fair enough, feel nice to see you in the beautiful Hobart.
Nice to have a place here. You got some puzz
back in Victoria, but to have one down here's pretty exciting.

Speaker 14 (26:25):
You've got a couple of gelongs, so it's good to
have one down here. And Blair he'll run it. He'll
keep an eye on it, of course, and thinks he
runs it. But if you're with the jub boys too,
they're a good stock, good good Tasmania or Hobart stock.
So happy with those boys being involved. Hawks does a bit,
I think now, and then Jones Faulkner, but he's been
quite good. So no good, it looks good, it's come up.

Speaker 15 (26:46):
Well, hey boys, you're not seriousness. Who was the brains
behind the venture? Where did it come from? And who
put it all together?

Speaker 14 (26:53):
I'll tell you once when I was in Hobart here
once and I just want to have a little bit.

Speaker 13 (26:57):
You don't have to be a big punt around link.

Speaker 14 (26:59):
But I just said, let's where can we go for
a bit, but to get in a car and go
to doctor doctor Sintaks or wherever. It was like it
was a fair drive and I said to Lad, surely
there's something around here, Salamanca.

Speaker 13 (27:11):
So we've got a little tav in there now.

Speaker 14 (27:13):
It's not gonna it's not a big blowing aut t
tab and it's friendly for the women too. That's what
we're trying to get across, of course. But so we
just we saw a bit of a hole in the
market and and a bit of a sports bar, especially
with the jack jumpers out there going and the Devil's
coming in in a couple of years and things like that.

Speaker 13 (27:30):
So hence the pavilion and here we are.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
You've locked in the Devil's bill, you reckon. They're a
short thing to come into the AFL.

Speaker 13 (27:37):
Yeah, I think they are. I think just whns obviously
the and the money.

Speaker 14 (27:41):
The money is obviously a big part, but Gil will
try and thought that out before he goes. The government's
got to come to the party there a bit also,
but I think it's a short thing yet.

Speaker 15 (27:50):
Boy, he's a bit of a who's who tonight, it's
fair to say in the sporting and business world. Can
you bring us up to speed with some of the
guests that are here tonight.

Speaker 12 (27:58):
Well, we're in the cricket seats on towards the end
of the creat scenes and so we've got Matthew Wade here,
We've got Riley Meredith here. Ben Dunk has walked past
us before and we're all so b Webster Jordan's silk
as well.

Speaker 13 (28:13):
So mainly the cricket we've been focused on all of
the cricketers.

Speaker 8 (28:16):
Here.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Bill, we're here with the Western Bulldogs, number one ticket
holder in Tasmania. He's still filthy with you for kicking
that goal.

Speaker 15 (28:22):
All those finals Bulldog supporters don't just remember that game.

Speaker 13 (28:28):
There are the ones too.

Speaker 16 (28:30):
Qualified.

Speaker 13 (28:32):
I like playing against the Bulldogs.

Speaker 14 (28:34):
They never kind of had one to match up on me,
and they're all the good ones to go to Ablot
of course, So I'm just trying to find the Bulldogs.
Seem he's made a few changes, Beverage. I don't think
he's happy with them and how they're traveling.

Speaker 13 (28:45):
But I like playing it. You know, you like side
to play against side. I like playing against him a
serious and particularly in finals.

Speaker 5 (28:51):
Yeah, Bill, we're Claire and I hosted a function last
Saturday night.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
We had to auction off a couple of hats and
they made us sign them and he signed his b
brownless you might get a bit of extra money, and
did he?

Speaker 13 (29:04):
He actually didn't money.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
I thought, what did yours go for for one hundred?

Speaker 13 (29:13):
Keep the hat on? Look you can talk?

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Come on.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
Nice to see you boys, and good luck with the venture.

Speaker 13 (29:20):
Yeah, very very one.

Speaker 12 (29:22):
Welcome because we know that we go across all Tasmania
so anyone visiting from the Northwest Coast or north as
well the Pavilian Sports Bar.

Speaker 13 (29:31):
And the hardest Cellar Maca get there.

Speaker 6 (29:33):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
There is Bill Brownless and Blair Brownless and Kevin Brown
and Brincostlo. Really nice interview there, some sharp work from us.
Praise brot Hey. That wraps up a.

Speaker 5 (29:43):
Big first hour of the show. We've got lots more
so to come in extra time though. This morning Peter
Ryan from the Clarence Footy Club will join us. We'll
talk about AFL round two so far and what's to come.
Tim Payin will speak about his retirement from first class
cricket and went out the next winner of our goods
Border War. That's still to come this morning on the
water Boys. Stick around with us over the next sixty

(30:04):
minutes for more fun and provolley.

Speaker 4 (30:06):
This is the water Boys.

Speaker 5 (30:10):
Massive first hour of the water Boys as per usual,
but we've got plenty more for you here in extra time.
Before we get to that, though, let's go through the
overnight scores quickly and disastrous and unbelievable scenes at the
Gabba with the lights going out overnight between Brisbane and Melbourne.
Brisbane managing to hold off a fast finishing Melbourne after
about a thirty to forty minute break at fourteen nine

(30:30):
to ninety three to thirteen four eighty two.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Brandy, what do you got for me?

Speaker 7 (30:34):
They kick six of the last seven in that game,
amazing Melbourne. The lights came back on Australia's three. He
defeated Ecuador one in a friendly in the soccer up
at Newcastle. Those two teams will play later on this
week in a second match. Now the cricket, the Sheffield
Shield Finals sometimes gets a little bit lost, doesn't it
in a congested sporting calendar, bread because it's normally played

(30:55):
around about this time, Round one, round two of the footy.
But it's delicately poised five for one hundred and seventy five.
Turner and Philippa at the crease at the moment and
developing a nice partnership and they're chasing down the Victorian's
first innings of one hundred and ninety five. So if
they can push through and probably get to one hundred
hundred and fifty league that would have been that that
would be I think the target for Western Australia and

(31:18):
put the pressure back on the Vicks They've been the
outstanding team all season. Western Australia's gonna be hard to beat.

Speaker 5 (31:22):
Absolutely back here at home number leevable day. A great
cricket yesterday, Linda's Van nine for three forty nine at stumps,
which is a good score, but it wasn't before one
hundred and ninety six run last week at partnership between
Charlie Wakem and Matt Wilke. Charlie with two hundred and
eleven off two thirty eight, so they're set up nicely now.
The lightning for a big, big day too to day.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Looking forward to that. NRL.

Speaker 5 (31:44):
Last night we saw Melbourne knockoff West Tigers by twelve
points and in the later game Brisbane in the Brisbane
Derby getting it down the Broncos over the Dolphins eighteen
to twelve. In the the Netball last night it was
the Hawks fifty five the Devon forty. Big second hour
coming up for you this morning, we're going to look
at the AFL Round two. We're going to review and
preview that. At the moment, Tim Panel joined US two

(32:05):
to talk about his career following his retirement. Last week,
los I announced that next winner of our Good Support
Awarden preview the soccer hockey in Netbor for this weekend.
But up next we're switching our focus back to footy
with Clarence Footy Club coach Peter Ryan joining us here
on the water Boys doing it all thanks to our
friends at TAS Back your local Coboda Deer. Like good
morning this here's the water Boys thanks to TAS Back

(32:27):
your local Caboda dealer. It is the water Boys with
Brent Costello and Cam Brown for your Saturday morning. A
lot of talk about Goodorky this off season in the
TSL Brownie, but all the other clubs we haven't heard
too much about. So starting today we're gonna have a
chat to a few of them and we're going to
start on the Eastern Shore with the mighty Clarence Football
Club who we're expecting to have a pretty big year

(32:49):
in twenty twenty three and joining us on the line
how to have a chat about how things are going
over there at Blunston Arena is the head coach Peter Ryan.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
Good a spear, How are.

Speaker 11 (33:00):
Thanks for having me on?

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Nice to talk to you mate.

Speaker 5 (33:02):
As we said, we haven't had a lot out of
all the TSL clubs this offseason, it's all been about
glen Orchy and the player numbers out there. We might
ask you about that soon given you a past greater
the Greenorky footy club. But how are things going at
ruin Land mate?

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (33:16):
Look where we're traveling pretty well? I think, you know
most clubs would tell you, guys that, But our preseason
sort of got through not too many injuries, really starting
to focus on some of the stuff that we've built
over last year and coming into it to this preseason.

(33:37):
The boys have had twelve months now under Murray and
you know, trying to get that game plan bedded in
pre season last year was a little bit of a
struggle and a bit of a tight time frame, but
this year has given us the ability to look back
on the year and see how well we played and

(33:57):
what we did well and what are our growth areas
we really started to focus on for this year. So
we're looking forward to the season starting and seeing how
we go with twelve months under our belt.

Speaker 5 (34:08):
Yeah, obviously a really good first year under yourself, Pete,
last year for the Ruse, how do you say the
comp this year and where do you think you're sort
of sitting in the pack Mord Obviously long Seste's lost
a few, the Tigers have lost a couple as well.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Last year's grabbed Folos.

Speaker 5 (34:21):
Of course, you think around the same mark would expect
to improve and potentially be top of the ladder by
the end of the season.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
Who knows, who.

Speaker 11 (34:29):
Knows top of the ladder would be.

Speaker 10 (34:32):
Would be nice, but there's a lot of work to
do to get to that stage.

Speaker 11 (34:36):
I think. Yeah, like a lot of clubs, we've noticed
and went on immune to it as well. I've lost
a few players, so I really think it will bring
a long Sesson, North Londie King by ourselves, lord A Dale,
even North Hobart come back up to the pack a
little bit, so it'll bring the group of clubs a
little bit more even, I suppose. And yeah, look, I

(34:59):
think think on any given day anyone could really get
over the lines. Really looking forward to testing ourselves and
seeing where we're at for this year.

Speaker 7 (35:10):
Coach of the Clarence Foody Club, Peter Ryan joining us
this morning on the water Boys, Pete, Can I ask
you about any developments off the field and player attention.
Who have you been able to bring into the club
in the off season and has there been any major
departures from the footy club.

Speaker 11 (35:26):
Yeah, look we've managed to bring him Noah Holmes, he's
come back to the club after a year at Dosa,
mitch Anderton from Sorel. Probably the guys from those other
other leagues that we've sort of targeted to come in
and value add to our group. We've obviously lost from

(35:47):
our senior squad. Kiaren Howlett and Dylan Howlett has headed
off to claimont Footy Club. Jacks Barwick has gone over
to test himself over in the Waffle, Baker Smith at
the moment trying hand over the VFL and obviously Colin
Garland retiring. So it's just a little bit of a
hole for us, but we think that what we've got

(36:08):
coming through in terms of our kids, we're really excited
about what we can put out on the park this year.

Speaker 7 (36:16):
And Pet, what have you tweaked in the off season
because I listened with interest there. We have said it
was a tight turnaround in for you last year and
the club and trying to em better game planing, but
certainly watching you last year I thought there was a
really distinct brand for the Clarence Footay Club which you
could watch each and every week if you're a supporter.
And I thought they gave great value for money under

(36:38):
your tutelage, and it was a fast brand. It was
exciting fort you to watch. Did you think you had
the balance right when you reviewed the season? And if not,
what sort of things will you tweak?

Speaker 11 (36:49):
Yeah, so it's just that what you said, they're the balance.
I thought, you know, the game plan that we tried
to put in last year suited our group, that fast
attacking pace, but at times you need to slow down,
take a little bit more control of the footy. And
when we sat down in most of our reviews and
analyzed the game and training, it was the boys we

(37:11):
always coming back. We're just always going fast. So it's
about to get that balance right and had a little
bit more control of the game than what we probably
did last year.

Speaker 5 (37:23):
And pet, as I mentioned off the top, your premiership
player at the glad Orky Footy Club. But what are
you made of the situation at KG five? Obviously a
tougher you last year, could be even tougher going into
twenty twenty three.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
You must, yeah, be pretty sad about the situation out there.

Speaker 11 (37:38):
Yeah, look it is, it's yeah, it's a tough player.
It's tough to hear as an opposition coach, it's tough
to hear in terms of a club that's that's struggling
and you know, what's to be the state's premier footy competition.
You know, there's a lot of areas that the game
can grow down here and you know, I'd like to

(37:59):
probably come firstal point of view, see some stronger leadership
about the growth of the game. But in terms of Glenluky,
it's tough to hear that they're struggling. You know, it's
last year they couldn't field an under aide in side
and now this year it's Development League and it sort
of starts to question and wonder where the future of
footy is down here at the moment.

Speaker 5 (38:19):
Does the AFL team help that? Do you think it
will help in someone? I suppose, But is it going
to be that the big quick fixed solution everyone's talking about.

Speaker 11 (38:27):
Look at it definitely help, certainly, I was experienced to
it up up in Brisbane. It'll certainly you get kids
hopefully talking about once they get into the schools and
talk about footy and where the jumper and start to
grow the game. And make it a little bit more
prevalent down here. But it's not going to be a
quick fix. And that the things that you worry me

(38:50):
is that whilst we focus on the AFL team, which
again I think will be fantastic for the state, is
there's not much noise coming out of the well, what
does putty look like underneath it? And you know, at
the moment it's just a guessing game. So today we're
still twenty twenty three is to yourselves operating twenty twenty four,

(39:12):
we still don't know and don't know what it looks
like in terms of underneath the underneath it to yourselfs
So that's probably the thing that I'd like to get
answered sooner rather than later, because yeah, it's just that
that unknown you know, hard to attract players, hard to
retain players and sponsors alike when you don't really know

(39:35):
what the future holds.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
The comps is locked in for next year. That that's right,
isn't it to tell yourself?

Speaker 11 (39:41):
Not that I'm aware of. So yeah, I'm unsure as
to what's going on for next year. I know there
was a proposition put forward to just extend it for
twelve months, but I haven't heard that that's been confirmed
by the league.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
All the clubs so very good about interesting times ahead,
there's no doubt about that.

Speaker 5 (40:01):
With how footy will look in Tasmania. Interesting your ahead
too for your footy club. We can't wait to see
how you go in twenty twenty three. P thanks so
much for your time this morning. Good luck for the
season ahead, mate.

Speaker 11 (40:11):
I appreciate it. Thanks guys.

Speaker 5 (40:13):
Peter Ryean, the coach of the Clarence Footy Club, joining
us on the water Boys this morning, looking forward to
the ursall starting on the weekend of Easter, which is
only a couple of weekends away.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
Of course, plenty more still to come on the show
this morning. Not too far away is the.

Speaker 5 (40:26):
Former Australia Test captain and retiring cricketer Tim Pain for
an in depth feature interview. But up next to Branny
and I look at AFL round two so far and
what's to come that's next here on the water Boys
right across Tasmania. Thanks to taz Mac your local Kmbuta dealer.

Speaker 4 (40:41):
This is the water Boys.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Thanks to tas Mak, your local Kobota dealer. It is
the water Boys with Brent coss Ellow and Cam brown
for your Saturday.

Speaker 1 (40:49):
Morning turning their attention to the national game. It's the
water Boys AFL RAM.

Speaker 17 (40:54):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (40:54):
Round two started back on Thursday nine and Carlton Brownie
got the job done against a long none and two
to start the season. The reigning premier see Chris Scott
seem pretty composed and not panicked in the press conference postgame.
Any concerns for you with the Cats.

Speaker 7 (41:12):
They would have liked to have probably at least won
one of the first two, so they wouldn't want to
be sitting a situation seven or eight rounds in the season,
only won a couple of games. They've got some Winna
more Ones Gold Coast at Electric on Orthoy, Gold Coast
normally at the beginning of the season chalk up a
few wins. Then they've got Hawthorne so they can square
the Ledger. But I think I would not underestimate the

(41:35):
loss of the leadership of Joel Selward. Fantastic player, but
that leadership and on field presence, and I think it's
going to take a while for them to just They've
got a few players out of Colle of Jasney and
Stuart and they just look a little bit unsettled. Full
credit to Carlton. You know I love Charlie Kerner. He
was fantastic thought he was the difference to be brutally

(41:57):
honest and an important win for Carlton because Geelong were
coming towards the end of the last quarter, so sets
them up. They'd love to have won last week, Carlton,
but they look beyond that and made a fantastic response
against a last year's reigning premier.

Speaker 6 (42:13):
So well done to them. We've got GWS next week.

Speaker 5 (42:15):
Eight point win two the Blues on Thursday night and
it was an eleven point win in this bizarre old
game at the game of last night where the lights
went out Brisbane ninety three against a fast finishing Melbourne
eighty two. As we said earlier, the lines are forty
points up where the lights went out and only won
by eleven camp what'd you make of this, Sunday. I
only saw a little bit of it last night, but
Gie Dane Zorco was everywhere when I I watched last night,

(42:38):
he was all over the place. Clayton Oliver was outstanding
as always as well.

Speaker 7 (42:43):
But the four goals for Benny Brown through the start
to the season for him. But I was watching it
with my son last night at Ashcroft. They might be
a father son combination that play three hundred games each.
It's an incredibly early call on someone that two AFL.
He's going to be thirty two, which is last night
kicked a net goal. He's so clean, he's going to
have an unbelievable career. Really looking forward to today's footy, Brent,

(43:07):
I think this is the match around Collingwood versus Port Adelaide.

Speaker 6 (43:10):
I think the one.

Speaker 7 (43:11):
Eleven or twelve eleven out of the last twelve Collingwood
at the MCG. They were terrific last week against Geelong,
one of their high scores at the G for some time.
But Port Adelaide certainly made a statement last week against Brisbane.

Speaker 6 (43:26):
Going to be a great game. Who do you like?

Speaker 5 (43:28):
Yeah, Collingwood at the Gee, if was it Port Adelaida,
probably go Port Adelaide.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
That's I reckon how close it's going to be hard
to pick a winner.

Speaker 7 (43:34):
I need to do something about the decos boys Port Adelaide.
They'll have to put a bit of work into them.
They just used the ball unbelievably.

Speaker 6 (43:40):
Well.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
Now I want to clarify something with you. We got
you to send three your top eight couple of ways
ago when you were.

Speaker 6 (43:45):
Here to put nine in there or something you put Adelaide.

Speaker 13 (43:47):
Do you mean Adelaide?

Speaker 6 (43:48):
Do you mean port Adelaide, Port Adelaide?

Speaker 2 (43:50):
Right, he had Adelaide.

Speaker 5 (43:52):
Little bit we're scratching our heads wondering if you knew
something we didn't know. But I think Adelaid I'm bullish
or Adelaide. I reckon they'll be improvers this year. They've
got a good young list.

Speaker 7 (44:00):
I'd be disappointed with their first round last week because
they had that game in the keeping up there against
g W West. So I actually think they'll beat the Tigers.
I do to today me too, so I think they're
the better the round against Richmond. I agree, and look,
they were probably still smarting from their lost last week Richmond.
They had numerous inspite inside fifties against Carlton, couldn't get

(44:21):
the job done. I'm not being as smart Aleky, but
I think the team that I'm intrigued to watch most
this weekend is the Western Bulldogs. But I think they
are under the most pressure of anything going the round too.
Is that a fair comment?

Speaker 16 (44:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (44:34):
I love.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
I would love to have seen you last weekend sulking
up in the grand stand over there you would watching that.

Speaker 6 (44:43):
Humorous. I was trying to blame everything external life and
who else boyfriend, Yeah, we're all there.

Speaker 8 (44:50):
It was.

Speaker 7 (44:51):
It was really disappointing, not at certain stage of sprint.
But Melbourne were far too good. They were well organized
and the Dogs just didn't have any kind of activity
with their midfield and the forwards. I wouldn't necessarily blame
the tall forward line. I didn't think they got a
lot of opportunities and they have to do something. They
leaked too many goals out the back. Done some different
things at the selection table, Johannison out of the team.

(45:13):
We know there's a couple of injuries as well with
Lob and true Law but Riley Western Garcia, so they've
gone a little bit small, smaller. So I look for
the Dogs half forward lines to fight and scratch and
probably look a little bit different in that forward fifty.
They missed weight minu at the moment.

Speaker 5 (45:28):
The Bulldogs other game tonight is Freemant and North Melbourne
looks like the surface that optus isn't looking great. After
the edge sharing concert, that could be a talking point
after the round, but Cheese was outstanding last week. But
do you think Freeman will bounce back? That was a
very poor loss for them last week against the Curita
their injury list.

Speaker 7 (45:44):
Yeah, they've just got to get back on the horse
free amount a really disappointing loss for them. That would
have been one they would have chalked up at the
start of the year. So a little bit of watch
on them, and probably well done to North Melbourne too
to start the season a lot they did. You mentioned
she's or what a start is going to be. But
Fremantle will win comfortably ess and.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
Then to beat the Gold Coast. Do you think tomorrow afternoon?

Speaker 6 (46:06):
Yes, I think so, Yeah, I think or not? I
think so. I think they should win that.

Speaker 7 (46:11):
I thought they were pretty impressive all bed against a
very under man young and disjoined it at times Hawthorne,
who also faced Sydney at the seg in the earlier
game on Sunday. I think that's going to be a
bit of a shellacking. I don't think Sydney is going
to be that. You know, I'm bullish about Sydney, but
I don't think they're the team that are necessarily going

(46:31):
to be like others that have got a building in
the Grand Final and drop back. I think they've got
too much talent on their list.

Speaker 5 (46:38):
And speaking of calling ridiculous results, I think West Coast
will beat GWS as well tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
Free big outs the Giants.

Speaker 7 (46:47):
Big call from Adam Kingsley and he says the best
win he's ever been involved in as the coach.

Speaker 16 (46:52):
All four.

Speaker 6 (46:55):
Debutante coaches one last week.

Speaker 5 (46:57):
Yeah they did, they did, But no, no Josh Kelly,
no Perriman. West Coast came good last week probably if
they're running a little bit.

Speaker 6 (47:05):
Too late, Brownie, but you a bit responsibly exactly right.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
That is our AFL wrap.

Speaker 5 (47:10):
But lots of good games to look forward to over
the next couple of days. Lots to look forward to
for the rest of the show as well. Not too
far away as the next one of our good Sport Award.
But up next we talked to the great man himself,
the former Australia captain Tim Payne here on the water
Boys following his retirement last week. That's next for you
right across tasbani At thanks to our great friends at Tasmack, your.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
Local kbuta dealer.

Speaker 4 (47:30):
This is the water Boys.

Speaker 5 (47:34):
Thanks to Tasmack, your local Kabata Dealer. It is the
water Boys with Brent Cosselo and Cam Brown.

Speaker 4 (47:40):
It's the water Boys. Cricket Report.

Speaker 5 (47:42):
Last week we fareweld one of the greatest tasbany And
cricketers of all time when Tim Payne played his last
game of Sheffield Child Cricket against Queensland at Blunston Arena.
The great man wanted to fade off into the sunset
without too much fanfare and fuss, but I'm pleased to
report managed to pin him down for a conversation during
the week to talk about his career, past, present and future,

(48:06):
and we started our chat by talking.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
About great cricket.

Speaker 5 (48:09):
This weekend, Penney is playing for University in the three
day final against Linda's Varn at Blunston Arena and I
asked him first of all, what it meant to be
playing for the Lions.

Speaker 16 (48:19):
Yeah, it means a lot to me.

Speaker 17 (48:20):
I think the University Cricket Club or Enrico Divenudo, who's
the coach at the time, came and got me from
Lord del prim And when I was eleven years old.
So yeah, it gave me my first chance and opportunity,
I guess, And yeah, I'm really enjoyed the last few years,
actually starting to give a bit back to the club.

Speaker 5 (48:37):
As we said, you retired last week, played your final
game for TASMANI you just wanted to slip off quietly,
did you?

Speaker 2 (48:42):
Not too much fan fit?

Speaker 17 (48:43):
Yeah, no, I keep it quiet. I think it probably
had enough meta in the last twelve months. So yeah,
it was important to me just to come in and play.
I didn't want the fuss and the carry on that
you see sometimes, so for me, when you're done, you're done,
and now the game doesn't stop for anyone. So for me,
it was, yeah, just going have a few quiet beers
and the change rings with my teammates and some past
teammates and move on to the next phase.

Speaker 2 (49:05):
A lot nice to get that guard of one of
those from from both teams. A nice way to walk
off for the final time, I suppose.

Speaker 17 (49:11):
Yeah, it was slightly embarrassing, but yeah, again I've been
a part of so many of those and you know
when it's actually for you, Yeah, it's it was actually
pretty special. Made me a bit emotional at the time,
So again, yeah, there's the twenty odd years I've been
on contract with Tasmania. Flew by really quickly, and it's
in moments like that that you sort of you know,

(49:31):
it flashes by and it's gone as soon as I
walked down the tunnel. So I've loved every minute of it,
and that was a really nice.

Speaker 16 (49:38):
Way to finish.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
Saw a beautiful photo your uncle Rob sure shared of
your nan watching it in the up behind the glass.

Speaker 5 (49:45):
I think she was in corporate sweet probably. How special
is that though, I guess, to have your your name
here watching you for your final game.

Speaker 17 (49:51):
Yeah, as well, she hasn't missed too many over the
years she has now she's she's sort of ninety four,
so she's missed a couple in the last year or two,
but up until that, she's literally seen every game of cricket.

Speaker 16 (50:00):
I reckon.

Speaker 17 (50:01):
I've played since I was in about grade two. So yeah,
I think she loved being here. She wouldn't have liked
being behind the glass. She's a lady of the people.
She likes to sit outside. I think it was a
bit cold, but yeah, it was really special. One n
as I said, she's ninety four now. She brought me
my first ever pair of batting pads, I think when
I was three or four years old, So for her

(50:23):
to sort of be there for that and buy me
those pads and then be able to watch me play.
She came to Lord's from a first test. See me
play all over the world is pretty special.

Speaker 5 (50:33):
What do you think now, I mean, you've achieved so
much over your careers, sunk in that you know, you
obviously got some club cricket left to play, but it's
all over. I suppose does it feel like it's flown by?
And can you pick a moment out for us that
you love the most over your career?

Speaker 16 (50:47):
It has it certainly has flown by now.

Speaker 17 (50:49):
I feel like it wasn't that long ago that I
came here and I met someone like Tim Kure for
the first time when I was when I was a
twelve year old twenty six years ago. So you know,
when you think like that, I feel like a lot
of things have gone really quickly. But to pick a moment, obviously,
the first Shield win was amazing. Playing a Test match
for Australia and getting my cap presented to me by

(51:12):
Ricky Ponting was a bit of a dream come true.
And then to win I guess I've had some champions trophies,
have won big ashes series. Sheffield shields. Yeah, I think
they're the things you remember. I've got another reunion next
week actually, which is a ten year reunion of our
last yield that we won, so they become really special times.

Speaker 5 (51:33):
What do you think now when you look back and
you think of the finger injury and things like that,
do you feel unlucky with the cricket you missed or
do you feel lucky that you've got that second chance.
I was supposed to play for Australia again.

Speaker 16 (51:42):
Yeah, no, I wouldn't change it, that's for sure.

Speaker 17 (51:47):
There's probably a couple of things actually when I would change,
but certainly from a cricket perspective. You know, that's how
the professional game is. It doesn't always go away. You
have injuries at certain times, you lose form. But the
thing I'm really proud of again is to I suppose
the longevity I don't think you get, you know, twenty
two years of professional sport without a lot of you know,

(52:11):
a lot of dedication, a lot of discipline, and you know,
you've got to play well for a long period of time.
You've got to stay fit for a long period of time,
and you've got to want organizations and teams to want
you around for a long period of time.

Speaker 16 (52:21):
So that's that's the thing that I'm most proud of.

Speaker 5 (52:23):
What about that time where you got picked for Australia again,
I remember, I still remember being out the front. You're
walking down the road and you got out to me
saying that you're off to play for Australia A. And
did you know at that point that it might have
been a sniff to get back into that Australia team
or was it more of a test case at that point?

Speaker 17 (52:36):
Yeah, I think it was a bit of a test case.
I know Greg Chapel was pretty keen to get me
in and he's told me since so I had an
inkling because I wasn't playing domestic cricket and to be
put into that australiaan eleven I think it was, which
at my age it's thirty one or thirty two, was
a bit strange. And yeah, I look back and I

(52:57):
thought something might be up, but I thought I'd try
not to think too much about it because I didn't
want to put too much pressre on myself. I actually
end up playing really well, and yeah, literally a week
later I was in the Test team.

Speaker 16 (53:07):
So it was it was an amazing turnaround.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
What's next? Mate?

Speaker 5 (53:11):
You probably haven't given it a heap of thought yet,
given it's all still so fresh, but obviously you got
the great cricket file and then a little bit of
a break yet.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
Plan.

Speaker 17 (53:18):
Yeah, I have a few months off, I think after
this week. As I said, I've got a reunion the
following week which will be a good weekend. And then yeah,
I mean I've known I was retiring at the start
of this year, so some of the stuff that I
want to do, I'm now really clear on my sort
of path forward and we're just going to try and

(53:39):
work through that in the next next few months and
and we'll see what happens.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
I dearly like to stay here and Tassy potentially with
cricket Tasburania.

Speaker 17 (53:46):
That yeah, absolutely, I think, yeah, that would be fantastic.
Obviously I'm really passionate about Tasmanian cricket. I'm still very competitive,
so I've I've had some commentary stuff come across and
raid things like that, but I feel right now the
thing for me to stay involved in cricket and teams
and trying to win things and trying to improve people,

(54:08):
and I think that will sort of scratch my competitive
bitch if you like, and then going forward we'll wait
and see. But I think that's sort ofly probably where
I'm headed for the next sort of three or four years.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
A couple of quick fire ones to finish it off.
Who's the best player play with over the journey?

Speaker 17 (54:24):
I find it really hard because obviously Ricky's probably the
best cricket I played with, But in terms of patches
of play, I haven't. Don't think I've seen better batting
than Steve Smith in in the ashes in England.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
Best bowler you faced or trickiest bowler your face as
a batsman?

Speaker 17 (54:42):
Um, well, it's been a few. To be fair, I've
I struggled against my most Probably I ended up playing
quite a bit against England, so i'd say broad A
Anderson certainly with the new ball Josh for in those
few tests was it was as hard and as intimidating
as as it gets. And then I think all the

(55:02):
spinners at international level, particularly the ones you can't pick,
can be an absolute nightmare.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
What about the best bowler you kept to, Yeah, it'd.

Speaker 16 (55:10):
Be hard to go past Paddy Cummins. I reckon he's best.

Speaker 17 (55:12):
But again I was incredibly lucky, particularly when I played
for Australia. Josh Hazerwolf was on fire, Mitchell Stark was
on fire. I played here as a really young kid
in those two or three years when Hilfi was at
his absolute peak. I kept a Shawan taatee in a
one day series in England where it was extraordinarily fast
and accurate and swung the ball. So yeah, I think
the wiki keeping spot for an Australian is Yeah, it's

(55:37):
the ultimate I reckon because you get to you get
so many great bowlers and for someone told me yesterday,
atually that was the fastest ever Test. We could keep
it to one hundred and fifty dismissals and that says
a lot about the bowlers.

Speaker 16 (55:48):
I got to got to keep to Nathan Lyne as well.

Speaker 17 (55:51):
It was Test matches when I played with him when
I was just he was just on a completely different
level to everyone else.

Speaker 4 (55:56):
In the world.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
What about your favorite ground.

Speaker 17 (55:59):
Again, there's so much any good ones now. The MCG
packed on Boxing Day against England was amazing. Lords Every
time I played there was unbelievable. Adelaide Oval is an
amazing ground now and couldn't forget Edge Bason. Of course,
that's one of the great venues is that when you
go there and win. So they're now in my top fifteen,
which at the time I said they weren't, but I.

Speaker 16 (56:20):
Put them in there now. Cape Town beautiful ground. Not
great memories there.

Speaker 17 (56:25):
Actually, I think that of all of South Africa, that
was an amazing series to be involved in the skill
and that was on showing that series. I actually watched
some of it a couple of days ago, the fast
bowling and the batting like ab de Villis and Steve
and Davy And yeah, it's a bittersweet one because I
remember the first two or two Test matches and the
build up to that series was amazingly exciting and the

(56:47):
quality of cricket it was phenomenal. And then for it
to be such a sour note to finish as was
quite sad and.

Speaker 5 (56:53):
Just finally your favorite thing you'll miss about the game,
I suppose him being out there.

Speaker 17 (56:59):
I think just being able to be amongst your teammates
and your mates and change the course of a game,
whether that be with the bad or to take a
good catch or a stumping. I think that's going to
be the biggest adjustment and think I'm going to miss
the most. He's sort of been able to have to
sit off and try and help that way, but not
be able to actually go out and do it is

(57:19):
what I'm going to miss well.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
Tim Payin, congratulations made on an unbelievable career. Thanks for
everything you've done for us too on the water Boys.

Speaker 5 (57:25):
Always been really generous with your time and good luck

Speaker 2 (59:26):
Brandie.

Speaker 5 (59:26):
We have got some big games coming up across the
States today in all different sports.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
Let's start with the netball.

Speaker 5 (59:31):
We've got the new team, the Southeast Sons hosting Calves
down at Serreul one thirty the so Athternoon looking forward
to that big ran of MPL and WSL soccer.

Speaker 2 (59:41):
Two.

Speaker 5 (59:41):
Let's start with the men's comp Riverside hosting Kimber at
Windsor Park two thirty this afternoon, Milnwaukee Knights at home.
You're long Ceston City at KG five at four point thirty.
In another four to thirty game devin Port, who had
some points taken off from last week at Valley Rod.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
That's a little unusual to say that happened.

Speaker 5 (59:56):
They're hosting long Cester United at Valley Road this afternoon
and South Hobart and Clarence a big game at Darcy
Street tomorrow at two o'clock.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
Looking forward to that.

Speaker 5 (01:00:06):
In the women's competition, South Hobart and Devenport today at
Darcy at two o'clock. Taruna looking to bounce back from
a heavy loss last weekend against Clarence at Calviton Park
at two thirty. And tomorrow we've got long Cester in
United and Kinbra at Birch Avenue at two o'clock. So
lots of happening in local soccer the hockey as well.
Last night we had a game last night between Northwest

(01:00:27):
Grades and Canterbury. Today in the men's and women's comps
we've got oh and Doing and Diamondbacks and University, so
lots to look forward to locally this weekend.

Speaker 7 (01:00:35):
You're going to watch the Great Cricket Final today breaking
on will because I'm intrigued by right now, because it's
all set up, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
It's going to be magnificent to see how it all
plays out. That was an incredible last week at stand
last night from Charlie Wakem and Wilkie. Incredible.

Speaker 7 (01:00:50):
Yes, it's going to be a fascinating because it's three days, yes,
which is interesting for the listeners.

Speaker 2 (01:00:56):
How does that work for the listeners?

Speaker 6 (01:00:58):
They play over three days?

Speaker 2 (01:00:59):
Thank you can. As far as batting again now and
the second innings goes no.

Speaker 6 (01:01:03):
No, good question.

Speaker 7 (01:01:05):
I think it would be if UNI went on first innings,
then then Linda's Farm would have to win outright because
they've got the advantage obviously having finished top of the ladder.
So if UNI falls short in their first innings chase,
then they'll have to go for the reverse outright to
win the title.

Speaker 6 (01:01:24):
So it's delicately poor. So looking forward to that one,
it'll be good.

Speaker 7 (01:01:27):
Looking forward to watching the dogs and how many goals
for Aaron Norton I've gotten down at six tonight?

Speaker 5 (01:01:31):
Well, I think it goes a bit better fantasy wise
than last week because your little little disappointing he kicked straight,
so hopefully better. I want to say, kick six, Brandy,
kick six brand good, Okay, lock it in? What else
you got on this weekend much.

Speaker 6 (01:01:44):
No, I watch a bit of the great cricket.

Speaker 7 (01:01:45):
Fine, I've got a little bit of work unfortunately, but
then yes, I'll sit down and watch the dogs.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
What about you, I'll watch a lot of footy. Yeah,
I've got no plans, which is good.

Speaker 6 (01:01:54):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
No plans this weekend. They'll be entertaining the.

Speaker 6 (01:01:57):
Kids obviously, but with watching footy, yeah, a lot football.

Speaker 5 (01:02:01):
Can't wait to see you guys too, or hear a lot.
Talk to you guys next Saturday morning. Thanks for listening.
It's been a good show and we'll see you more
for next Saturday morning, for more fun and for quality
here on the water boys.
