Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the All Sport Breakfast podcast with Darcy
Waldegrave from News Talk SEDB.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Well, look who we found, Jim Dolan.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Morning Darcy, Hi Jim, have you been Oh that's you?
Still my best? You've gone and played a little bit
of golf in the northern atmosphere, right, Okay, that's good.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
So you weren't just like pissy at me and you
walked off because I said something dumb?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Did that? If we did that every time that happened.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Jim, Let's move to sport because that's what we're here for.
After all NRL finals.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I've talked before about the majesty of a dynasty and
how you actually build and you rebuild on the go.
You don't wait till everything's falling apart, then pick up
the pieces. This is the Melbourne storm at the Penrith Panthers.
Who will win tonight to a tea, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Yeah? You know you think so that. I think that's
the heavyweight clash that everyone's looking for. It looks like,
as you were talking about, there might have been different
last night when Nelson suffer Salomona was sinbin for that
high hit that ended Lindsey Collins Night in the first
tackle of the game. I love that coach Craig Bellamy's
straight on the front foot. After the game he says, man,
I shouldn't have even been a sinbin. He'll be right.
(01:22):
Nelson will have played next week. So the pressure is
now on the Match Review committee of what will they
come up with in the old days that it will
be all it's a Grand Final, you know, with best
players against the take his.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Head off for the shoulder when he turned around. He
played the ball the wrong direction.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
It was just an accident and his head was coming down.
I know all the defense already. It's yeah, So that'll
be played out this week. That'll get more attention problem
than the Dally M which is team mate halfback Jerome
Hughes should would I would imagine a blow for the
Sharks tonight. The inspirational Jesse Raymian is out for the
second Grand Final qualifier. He's failed to recover from an
(02:00):
ankle injury. So that'll be a big drama for the Sharkis,
but they've It does mean that the young atkinsoner was
the eight eighth man he comes into the squad now
he can probably travel a Panthers bit, but he's going
to need a lot of work done up front for
him to make a difference. The Panthers still hoping Scott
Sorenson might be able to play. He's struggling with an
injury too. Now the Sharks fans famously don't like to
(02:23):
travel outside the Shire. They could be heavily outnumbered in
the dance tonight as we headed the Olympic Stadium. Big
mental battle too. Not only are the Sharks not beaten
the Panthers recently, they haven't scored a point against them
this year. Two matches. The aggregate is sixty nine I
think to zero. So it's a very big thing tonight.
(02:45):
And both these teams came in nineteen sixty seven, so
they have a little bit of synergy. But it is
fair to say the Panthers crowd a pretty big shadow
at this time with the.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
NRO and Grand final qualifiers or preliminary finals.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
The semi finals made.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Is that beyond you, guys or something?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
No, you've got to have fence names for every game.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Okay, sorry, I stand corrected. What's having in Melbourne?
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Well, one hundred thousand fans will pack the MCG this
afternoon to see Katie Perry play for fifteen minutes. There's
the AFL Grand Final either side of that, but Katie's
going to give us her best work for five million dollars,
which is pretty handy if you can get it. It's
Sydney versus Brisbane, which really stings the Melbourne luddite who
think it's still a Victorian game. There's lots of key
(03:32):
players carrying injuries into this match, which I hope they
can just last through the day because both these teams
deserve to be that. They've been sensationals, particularly in the
run of the finals, and it's feel good likes to
say who isn't carrying some type of injury come September.
So the Brisbane Lions have been behind by as much
as forty four in recent games and still come home
(03:52):
to win. So even if Sydney jumps out to a
big league this isn't over until the final, Sireen. So
I think it's going to be a fantastic contest this afternoon.
And the Minister of Law and Finance and her friends
chose this weekend for a girl's weekend in Melbourne, I
think they're going to be overwhelmed by people from other
places as well.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
The Minister of War and Finance.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
She's in charge of my life.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
I used to call mine the Department of Wife, and
then she became the Ministry of Wife.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Then she became the leader of the opposition, and then.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Now we choose to use the term. I'll just run
it through the complicator and see what happens. Stop, I'm
getting I'm going nowhere fast. All eyes across the Tasman
this time a.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
People are actually interested in rugby again after what happened last week.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yes, well, the Wallabies hopefully won't give the All Blacks
at hour start today. Last week's finish has shown that
rugby still has a pulse in Australia. Plenty of people
talking about it this week, which has been remarkable given
most of them events an for years. Don't watch that
rubbish anymore. They're actually fitting it into their plans today,
the AFL Brand Final this afternoon, then the Blood is Load,
(04:58):
then the nur preliminary final tonight. And it's very important
that the Wallabies take a step up from the last
week and build on Zach Fittler choosing to sign with
the Warratars on Friday for the next two years. That's
also seen as a shot on the arm for Australian rugby.
At one hundred and five kilos, playing center, bigger and
faster than he's famous dad. At the same age, he
(05:19):
will be hoping to feature in some of these Bloaterslow
Club Cup clashes in a few years and perhaps be
a dual international. But yes, we are all watching very
closely this afternoon, and given what happened last week, we'll
probably give it more than fifteen or twenty minutes of
things to an ugly So I think just get your
boys to start a little bit slower. I'll be much
happy with that.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Well, our team starts well and finishes terribly and it's
the other way around for the Wallabies.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
But let's be perfectly honest to you.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Maybe I can't well, I don't see the All Blacks
gifting a close game to the Wallabes like.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
They did last week.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
But this is the All Blacks this year. They can
do anything with a good batter and different. We've got
no idea third in the world plays tenth in the world.
But it's Zo Cup, so it means a whole lot. Hey,
good on you, Jim, Welcome back. To the airways.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Mate.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Glad to have you in the Great Hemisphere. About time, mate, it.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Was interesting when I was in Ireland that when people
found out your Australia, the first thing they wanted to
know was what's wrong with the Wallabies. The second thing
was what's going on with the All Blacks. And they
did give us some comfort saying, at least you've got
Joe Smith to turn things around.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
There you go, Balance, mate, Balance. Jim Dolan joining us
