Hello, welcome back to this second episode of WMBL series. And if you are new, well, let's get on with it because this is the WMBL series of opening basketball. Let's get on with the show. So I mentioned that if you are new, subscribe and you like basketball, make sure there's so much. So the Woman National Basketball League, it is not the National Basketball League for the men's. This is about the women's update. So if you have not missed out, go and check out there is all the latest MBL out already. But let's get on with that. So this is the opening round of round one. Like the MBL has already started four weeks in advance of the women's competition. And there is so much to share. So there is some different teams to pair to the men's comp of MBL. This is a slightly different, they've got extra different teens around the Australia. So the signing part, it's nine now, which is the channel nine hat shop. I don't know where well in the world, but it is a app you can sign for no cost, and it is PN and Disney Plus. All got you covered. So we are going to John Cain Arena, which is in Melbourne, and we have South Side Melbourne Flyers, which is the Melbourne, the Melbourne teens tag on the University Capitol of Campbell. So it is a Canberra team in the women's. No means have that. May they used to have it, but but this game, it is the opening night, the 18th of October 25, WNBL 26. I like to wear this, and that is where I'm gonna call that in a big way. So these two go head to head, and well, I gotta say, who is gonna be the better team? I think Southside, Melbourne Flyers will take the win. They're looking pretty good. Can Canberra have a better season? And their seasons all starts from 1:30. And this is the big thing about the women. They finally got their summer basketball all open money, and this is we do have our summer coming as well. And I can't wait to share week in, week out where I possibly can keep you updated. We do come to a back-to-back, and we got two days of open basketball. So we go down from John Cain Arena into Geelong. That's also part of Melbourne, known as Victoria, and they take on the Sydney Flames. And both teams, the newest team, Geelong United, it's now known for, do come in the second year. And they actually played a very good season icon for Geelong United. And this is down at Geelong Geelong Arena. And this is all on nine now and nine go all live and free. It's also on ESPM. So, and I'm sure it will be on Destiny Plus. But check your logging cards anyway. I don't know who should win this. And I think Geelong and Geelong, liking football, but this is not about football. But generally, of that I'm talking, I think that'll be the case. So Geelong United for the win. So to finish off that, these are your time schedules as well. So the Saturday games will be at 1.30 and 6.30, and the Sunday schedules, Sunday schedules will be on 12 o'clock and 6 p.m. weekly every Sunday, depending on our day. So we'll just focus on these, you know, eight teams go head to head, which I think they are equal to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. There's 10 out of 10. There is 8 out of 10 teams going head to head. The top occasion of Benigo spirits go head to head. And my goodness, they're gonna look really strong this season, I believe, of a big deal of this team. And it's Benningo, one of the best teams, take on Townsville. Also look really, really ready to take on the season. These two met in final series, and Benigo should take this win. This game is played at Red Energy Arena, which Benningoe is also a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria. There's a lot of Melbourne. They're taking Townsville. Wiz is north and up in the um high of the country. It's called Queensland. So Townsville, Townsville Flames. So I really Benningoe to take a win. There's no margin, there's no victory. It's just how I think. This is it. We have one of the best teams, I think, still around. LA Lightning New Headquarters. Different team on the market. They take on perfect length. This is gonna be interesting. 6 p.m. S Day State Basketball Center is in Mayfield. I am really impumped for this game. I can't wait to watch this go where possible. So who do I think should win? I think LA will should take this win and they need to win it. They need to celebrate this win in a big deal. A big deal in a big way. So LA Lightning for me, that's it. Now who do I think should win the championship? It is way too early. We have not opened our season just yet. I can't wait. We'll see you all next week and where possible, our next round the bus will be from the 24th to the 24th of October. So stay tuned. Who is that? And I'm happy to shout. All right, this is the episode two WMBL 26. Serious. My name is BJ. Thanks for listening. I'm signing out. Peace out. Bye for now.
