GC3: Was Football The Real Winner or "Do We Need To Get To Dinner"?

  Relive the excitement and feeling of People First Stadium on 4 July with the dulcit tones of DJ NICKA and crazy and perhaps murderous Collingwood supporters

SPEAKER_01 0:16

Right, we're walking across, we're about to walk across the Nering River. We've seen a couple of uh Pi supporters. A couple, a lot. Apparently there will be more Pi supporters here than Gold Coast. Penalty out of the year. Yeah. How do you feel about that? Actually. Yeah? But you're pretty happy about the puncher. And who's the guy Angry Anderson that's come in? Angry? Angry Zen? Puncher and Angry today? Anger and Angry. That's the way Collingwood loves it. You can see the stadium from here. Looking quite picturesque here on the street. I think we are on this side, aren't we? Look at that. On the river? On the river. That's good. There's a caravan park right in front of it. Isn't that nice? Is it like a trailer park or something? Yes, yeah, we're prepared for everything. T-shirts, jackets, sunglasses, sunscreen. Actually, the thing we have learned about the Gold Coast in July is that if you're in the sun, it's beautiful, as soon as the sun disappears and the wind comes out, it's absolutely freezing. Can't spot a whale for love or nothing. Whales, they're there. They're there out there. They're out there. They're out there, they're not showing their face. They're in like hawthorn, they're not showing their face. Hawthorne, what's going on in Hawthorne? Halftime in Hawthorne? 77.99. That's what I just said. Is it a footy? Oh, it could be a foothorne. Sorry, just very ground. There's a giant range sort of egg. Behind the uh caravan park. No, it wouldn't be 150. Yeah. Okay, well, more to come. Stay tuned. Bye-bye. Go sons. We're in the ground. It's an hour before the. First impressions, mum. Uh honestly, it's a bit different than I expected. It's quite open at one end. Yeah. And then um it's a little bit of the Adelaide Oval feel of the. Oh yeah, the sail from the top. Oh, that's a good point. Um good feeling around the place, though. Yeah, yeah, it's good. It's very uh relaxed. You said like country footy. Yeah, it's a bit country footy feel. Like I'm in the uh I mean Ballarat. Watching uh Ballarat Marshall. The grass is in immaculate condition. Yes. What else are we going to see? It would only hold what? 25 at the most, maybe? Maybe. Yeah. But it's um it's a good stadium. I think it's sold out. So the guy we saw at lunchtime with his dog, he was he's been in the last couple of years and he couldn't get a ticket, he said it was sold out. See, that's that's exactly what you just said. Like, we've come to this country footy, like we just saw this bike with his dog. Pumpkin. That's a great name for a dog. Pumpkin the dog, shout out to that guy. I don't know what his name was. No, that was the other dog. That was the other dog. I don't know what that was. Sorry, that was the other bike with his dog. Yeah, that was a different bike. Different bike with a different dog. That's very uh I'm not used to the stadium bike because it's very open. Like the top's very open. Yeah. It's open. There's little. You want to come you want to have something different, aren't you? Oh, I agree. Yeah, no, I'm very excited. I'm very pleased we came. We don't have any we don't have anyone. Well, we've got random people on the ground, I don't even know who they're there. Who are they? Yeah. They're not players, so maybe they're the reserves or something. They've won that competition where you get to have a kick on the ground. I'd go in that. Oh, talk. But um I don't know who they're players. I think they're players. I reckon they're like maybe they're from the academy or something like that. You know they're anyway. What was the at lunch we were talking about another no, we're watching the soccer today and wondering whether whether we could adopt soccer rules to AFL. One of which is you can't keep we thought you can't kick backwards. I think that's a good rule. That's not a rule. No, it's not a rule. That's the rule you think it should be in for it should be a rule in soccer, but it's not a rule. So what what not rules can we adopt from soccer to AFL? No, you had a whole lot of good soccer things that so you think we should have offside. Offside, I think offside's a great rule. Yeah. I think because it adds to your main objective of being more complicated. Yeah, because then along with the penalty dots and lines, we can have an we'd have to have horizontal lines across the ground. Yeah. Offside. Yeah, yeah. And then we should have a random flag on on the 50. Well, yeah, just sticking in the getting in the way. Actually, yeah, they could have so you can exactly have a flag on the what is this announcement? Oblivious clan. It'll be you and obviously. Because we're doing a podcast on TV. They're famous. Uh I think we'll have to stop because Pepper can't hear anything with this stupid voiceover. Oh, that's that's part of the atmosphere, Dominic. What else what other rules do I talk about? Upside was good. Uh there was something else, wasn't there? There was a few other things. Um I don't really know the rules of socket. But I think we should bring in more diving. Diving. So I think you know, when you when you go down, just thump the ground, fry into the grass like you've basically dead. It's the Joel Silwood rule. Just drop, just drop to the ground in any. Or what's um who's the Brisbane guy that did it in the prelim final or the semi-final last year? Oh, Cam Rayner. Yeah, Rayner. Yeah. Cam Rainer was. You can see you can see the the hills. You can see the hills. It's a lovely aspect, actually. Yeah. Although, honestly, if it like in if they were playing in summer as they do, this would be fun. Yeah. Like we're uh we are facing the sun, but it's it's uh a low UV because I've checked it 17 times. You're obsessed, like I'm obsessed with whales, you're obsessed with UV. At least you've got a hat on today, so you're gonna be. We should give people a bit of a view on our weekend together, because you've been obsessed with whales. Trying to find one from 7,000 kilometres away. They're going down the comeback highway. Any white cap that appears in the ocean is like, oh god, it's a whale! I can't believe what you've got against whales. What do they ever do to you? Well, I've got nothing against whales. I what I have against them is you trying to find a random white cap in the sun on the entire Pacific Ocean and claim it's a whale. I can't believe you didn't go out, you wouldn't go out on the boat with me. It's my life ambition is to go out on a boat and see a whale. We had a perfect day to do it yesterday, and you're like, you know what? You want to get on the sidelines? Not really feeling it. Well, that's our ice shit right there. Uh the UV is currently 0.8. That's very low UV, isn't it? But if it was February and March and summer, it'd be like 4 or 10. But it's not because the other thing that is happening on this weekend is Martin's obsessed with the fact that it is July and he just goes on and on like, can you believe this is July? Look at this weather! It's July! So Martin's going to move to the Gold Coast, just live here every July, and then go home again. Well, it is pretty phenomenal if you're from Melbourne in July and we were out of swim yesterday. How good was that? 21, 22 degrees in the water? Yeah, like how old are you, like just about 60 years old, and you've just worked out that July in Queensland is warmer than it is in Melbourne. That's true. I've just noticed is I reckon the scoreboard's bigger than the MCG scoreboard. That is huge. That is good. Do you think it's an an optical illusion? Because uh because the stands are smaller. It could be, yeah, that's true. So if we put that all the way over there, you reckon it was teeny. Perhaps. Or you know, had the big grandstand around it. This is the uh the other thing that I've come to know is that when you do AFL warm-up, no one just has a kick. Yeah, we've got we've got uh cones. What are they called? Oh, which is hats there. Yeah, okay, yeah, little um little hats or something. Yeah, yeah. And then you've got stepping. Well, we'll soon find out, I suppose. Oh, you're kicking to the open end? What what ends this is what ends for the head? Do they name the ends? Probably look like Carrara expert? Find out yourself in this way. And a hat, thank you. And my new hat, my new cap. Happy with my new cap. Okay, we're gonna have to name these ends ourselves. Well, the Gandon Engineers end up. Paraphernalia? That's a little double story um bungalow there. I think that's the executives from People First Bank. Oh yeah, it says people first bank. I thought people first was actually based in the Adelaide. Why are they? Oh they're probably regional. Uh what would that be? Well, that's the People First End. Oh, like Gandon Engineers. The Gandon Engineers end. Chem Pro, it's not Chem Ma. It's Chem Pro. Chem Pro? Yeah, it's a different. Sorry, Chem Pro. Yeah. And we we're naming all these corporates because we're looking for sponsorship. Well, anyone wants to jump on board the just saying, sponsors, if you're listening, that we our episode that we released yesterday has already had seven listens. So, I mean, if you want to reach our audience, then you've got one place to come. We should also tell people we're here like seven hours before the game. Yeah, that's why we're bored and just talking shit. I'm sitting here holding this in my hand, so I'm gonna pause for a while. You okay with that? Pause it uh when when when we have some action. Okay, we'll come back to you when there's some action. Breaking news, we've got a DJ. He's got a cowboy hat, like flaming flames got oh there's I've got to give him credit. He's he's pumped up and he is the only one. Oh yeah, let him go. He definitely looks like a wedding DJ. He's not an Alex White's in a DJ. Oh no, he's got the bar. No, uh Alex could be up here with the individual golf coast stunned. He's playing the stun set. Oh yeah, brilliant. Brilliant. Who would have thought of that? Oh no. Who would have thought of that, man? Uh by solo energy. This is what happens when you get collagen on the Gulf Coast. People just go mad. Yeah. I'll tell you what, I've seen we are in amongst a lot of there's no one here at the moment, but a lot of color who are here are all colouring. Yeah. Scoopy, Scoopy Boys. There's a guy with a teacher. Yeah, teacher with a picture of a magpie. Uh he's uh in a club called Scoopy Boys B-O-I-Z. Yeah, which is good. I like that. That's a very common magpie coming in swooping. Yeah. That's great music in it. Like it just it doesn't get any better than it's. I'm thinking of like a golf coat. His hat. Yeah, maybe Alex could wear a hat like that. Yeah, mate. I don't think it's really his thing. I don't think this sort of music is really his thing either. No, not my thing. Alex told me it was just like a wedding did Jay, you know? If you're listening, mate, I apologise on behalf of Martin. And you can beat him up next time you see him. Joy told me. Don't get that wrong. Right, pause again. After that or you're in disgrace. So players are on their first warm-up, and you're saying you think Colin was looking a little bit disorganised? Gold Coast have training aids out there with little cones. Oh no, not called cones. I think you play better if you've got a training aid. Yeah. When you warm up. Well you walk better with your walking aid. Oh yeah, I do. I do. Um they yeah, they just kind of a bit of kick-to-kick, a bit of random stuff. Oh, the golf cuts do a bit of random stuff as well. But they have cones. Yeah, so they think that makes a difference. We probably should just forfeit now because we don't have a cone. No cones. Yeah. Well, I'm I'm enjoying the solo energy investment. We have Collingwood at our end at the moment. At the moment, yeah. Which is you know, I only worked this out a few years ago, but they come on and do this early warm-up, and then they go off and then they get into their actual jumpers, and then they go to the other ends. So Collingwood, when they come out for the second warm-up, will be down there, and Gold Coast will be down this end. That's very easy. Mark my words, mark my words. Very fair, don't you think? It is, yeah, it's egalitarian. Like the AFL is generally, of course. It's very fair, the draw is very fair. Uh everybody plays a little number of games away from home. Everyone plays the other average 1.6 times. It's very fair.

SPEAKER_00 14:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:10

I'm waiting for the year when someone plays someone three times. And then you play someone no times. Yes. That'll be what's gonna happen next year. Well, just play weak games that make all the money. When does Tessie come in? 28. Um maybe, yeah, I think so. So that's gonna mean that there'll be a buy every week. Yeah, someone will have a buy. Yeah, it's a bit rough. Oh, look at that. Interesting. There's no there's no wind to speak of now. So I'm happy about it. I wonder if it's windy down there. Oh, we've got uh what was the DJ's name? He's back. Did you catch his name? No, I've got that wrong now. Sorry, he's playing very similar music. So it's really hard to. Sorry, Alex, I really don't mean that. Oh, he does not. Okay, we'll be back with more shortly. Second warm-up. So I just have to update you. So we we have the colonial team that's gone back, except the only player left on the ground is Nick Dacos, who has just been given he's just kicked two practice goals from inside the the centre square torpedoes, and both of them were perfect. We were just hoping he continues that kind of form. He's a freak! He's not bad, is he, eh? Yeah. There he goes, he's running off now. He has a very low centre carry. His his legs are shorter than his torso. That's like Leonor Messi. Oh, he's gonna get tackled. He does like Messi, doesn't he? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was Matt, I think, running straight towards Nick. Jesus. He just came as he ran past him, he went, how was uh coming second in the brown I like? Yeah. To me. Did he come second?

SPEAKER_02 16:16

So Collingwood's on the field.

SPEAKER_01 16:18

Just about how the uh sun's come out was thunderstruck. Surely thunder doesn't happen when the sun's out. They got a bit of a problem with it. It's like Geelong with a little white towel to run away from that. Uh Dominique water instead of chicken. Gluten-free donuts. Gluten-free gluten-free donuts. Fire is the new thing that's falling in. It's gonna stare so cute. Here they come, here they come up, that's a bit programming about flying this. Run run run all the way. Honey. We are on the suns of the gold coast guy. Do never say die. Well that's enough of that. After Collingwood dominated it early on, they're not happy with their free kick. Apparently you can't bump someone in the head these days. Just a bump, honestly. That's three goals from two shit free kick. But I'm over it. Yeah? Honestly. You also, one of the other things you're really enjoying is how everybody's coming late into their seats and standing in front of you at the uh walkway. And they come here and they sit down for two minutes and they're gonna be. I want to go back to the MCG. Oh Nick Dakos in the forward line. Oh chance. Oh underground hand pass 44 for a minor score. The sun is directly in our eyes. Can't see a thing. Oh god! Mac Andrew, the most overrated player in the AFL. Manny, come on, Matt. Oh, great clearance, Matt Rao. Straight up Maynards picked it up at the center though. He's kicked it over, he's got a man on the own. Who's got it? Is that Chris? Three bright orange boots. Chris. Yeah, okay. Potato. What flavour is he? He could kick this. Mind you, he could kick this sideways too, so it's even a good thing. I don't doubt he's gonna get the distance. And see, when you let him play footy, we win. Yeah, okay. When you just play bullshit for yes, we lose. Understand. Does that make sense? It does. Yeah, yeah, I think so. What are they going to get? Alright, we'll be back for a quarter time wrap-up. We should be at least another goal up. You should have, and I think that the highlights for me were those two goals or two shots a goal from the Nick Dacos set by kicking out from full back. But it's like because he touched the ball, everything went perfectly. My summary is we should be another goal or two up. All of the Sun's goals have been free kicks. Oh, that was a blast when we're down here. But we've we've made all our goals by proper football. None of this tiki touch wood, you know, crunching someone in the head. You can't even belt someone in the head anymore. What about the 50 that they didn't pay against Josh Jacos? Surely, if anyone yells 50 anywhere near a Dacos, it should just be 50. Well no, but he was he gave it away, he kicked it after the sun's gonna go. We've just lost the sun. Oh that's good, thank God for that. Now we're gonna freeze, but at least we'll be able to see everything. Oh the DJ's back. I must say, I am impressed with Collingwood's ball movement. Yes, they do have some. Good movements. Don't you think? I mean who doesn't like a good movement? Oh right, yeah. Especially after all the food we've been eating. It's important. They've just got they've got disco balls on the screen. Yeah. Okay, uh I can't think of anything else to say for now. We'll be back at halftime, I think, will we? Back at half time? We'll look forward to your company then. We're just debating whether Martin's too angry to speak. Mangry, I'm angry. I'm angry. Controversy it. People at first stadium. Well, it was a melee. Can we just say the melee? But the boat behind us as Collingwood's falling is absolutely feral. Not good. Not in a good way. I'm just thinking, thank God I'm neutral, but then I realise I've got the Gold Coast shirt and the hat on, I'm gonna get beaten up. I think the summary collingwood played pretty well. I've been playing very well. Yeah, Collingwood playing all over them. Gold Coasts have had that little patch where they kick three goals, but other than that. Yeah. But that makes it say what was going on at half time. Yeah. Dodgy free kick. I tell you what, Martin doesn't like to hear this, but I mean he he's looking for that flow. He should have been a free kick, should have been reversed, he should have been a goal penalty, should be out for four weeks. I think you're right the first time. I don't want to hear it. It'll be interesting to see what that when it does happen because it was a it was a dog act. Hang on, we've got the cowboy had FJ back again. Oh he's got friends now. He's got two young lady friends. Does Alex White have lady dances when he always always right? Oh, he's got sort of aviator, sort of red huge sunglasses on. Who are those two young women? Do they need to be there, honestly? That's to the vibe, Martin. The vibe of the thing. Oh, they're back out. That was quick, did they have a shorter half time because they're fighting for half of it? Oh well, that's probably right, yeah. Anyway, massive controversy. Yeah. When you bump him in the side, I don't know whether he'll get I don't know whether he'll get rubbed out. It was a shitty thing to do. What's the what uh what's that bullshit that's going through? Like that's three eye contacts. Intentional, it was intentional. Intentional. It'll depend on whether he's got crack. If he's hurt and he's out, then you'll go you'll get a week. Can't see him. Ah, I can't see him. Yeah, uh, yeah, oh no, yes, he is. He's over the back with his hand up. He looks fine. He was just like one of the soccer players. He went down like he was killed and suddenly up and everything's fine. Didn't get a free kick. That's the other thing we're saying. We should be like soccer players. I'll tell you what, the first 30 seconds is gonna be interesting. Yeah. If this was 1975, I would Oh, it would be on. It would be on real and off. I think we're all glad that it's not 1975. Usually I get worried if it, you know, if I'm at a Collingwood home game, I can get beaten up. Uh but this is a Gold Coast home game, I still can get beaten up. Definitely more. Yeah, but I've got a Gold Coach hat on. I think you should take your own. Alright, well, we'll be excited about the second half, don't turn around and try the bike behind you what you're wearing. I think so, go on, I think. Can we just get it? They'll be back, unfortunately. We're all back now. We're getting ready for what can be. Oh, anything could be. So long as the that DJ disappears, we'll be happy. Yeah, come on. We've got to leave at seven o'clock for our wedding. Yeah. Well, I think he's playing at Tiffany's birthday party. That's our friend's back, so look out. Okay, all right. Three-quarter time, it's anyone's game. It's a bit, it's a bit stressing. Some pretty ordinary umpiring decisions. Even I agree with you on that. Ruining the game. Colleagues not didn't play that well that quarter, they're still ahead. So if they get back to a bit of half first half form, I reckon we'll be wrong. And I think get a get a bit of a run here. Yeah. I my prediction would be that they will get three or four goals up and they'll hold that. I like your prediction. I think so. I do like your prediction. Yeah. Not liking everything I say tonight, but you like that one. I'm putting an eye. I'm on the Gold Coast and I'm putting a jacket on. Yeah. We've got a jumper and a jacket on. On the star line, right there. What have we got here? Three-quarter time. Something like some random dude out of the crowd is running around the boundary line.

SPEAKER_02 27:36

And we're going to count you down as well. This is the My Cruiser's Deck Dash. What does he have to do?

SPEAKER_01 27:44

My cruiser's deck dash. It's gonna run along, it's gonna get a cruise. Um yeah, I th I I think the problem with the Gold Coast game is they seem to have this game plan, set game plan, the switch. And they don't they can't play the other way. And they just do it for no reason. So you win a thousand dollars just for being along the boundary. Some idiot running along the boundary. Um at least the DJ's not playing anyway. Thank God. Yeah, so I I I mean it's Gold Coast has these little patches, but if they're still there or thereabouts with a couple of minutes to go, there'll be a chance, and I'd be pretty nervous if I were you in that situation. They're getting a bit too easy balls in the middle. Anyway, we could uh see, time will tell. Be handy if Collingwood had a forward line. Apparently there's six only have one, but I can tell. Yeah, you know, you can't. But rather than they're just filling space, basically. And if memory wasn't playing out of your skin, you wouldn't be anywhere near him. And he's about 100. They're all all the guys playing well are like 35. I do fear in a few years when those bikes simply, you know, their legs fall off or something. And all these we're just gonna have no fucking lots of stuff.

SPEAKER_00 29:20

They should just buy a forward.

SPEAKER_01 29:21

I don't give a shit how much it's just pay all this bullshit about you know these mid butters and all these forget it. For fuck's sake, go forward $100,000 million dollars that just get someone who can take a mark in the forward one. Yeah, that was me. Alright, we uh ranch. We'll sign off and uh we'll report at the end of the game, I suppose. Oh yeah, we're all that anxious here. Yeah, I'd rather come in. We'd be 10 goals up, quite frankly. Yes, I wouldn't I'm quite happy. I'm quite happy with this. Good game. I want to see a good game. Football's the real winner so far. Great, thanks. Yeah, all right. So they seem fight. So I think we're we're six minutes in. Nine minutes in the last quarter. Pies kick two, chance going up. I feel as I feel like we're gonna go to penalties. I don't think we'll even have extra time. Oh god, that was uh take off again. Yes, you come on now. I dare you! Just nothing so late. You can't be responsible. Just getting the sounds of the game. That's what our listeners want.

SPEAKER_00 30:55

Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:02

Come on, go net, go net. Yes, good in danger. Oh, he's got the go! He's up the game!

SPEAKER_01 31:17

Oh I thought he kicked that thing going. See again, where the fuck is the key forward? I know, I know. Just in case anybody's wondering, this is not a Collingwood home game. Yeah, well he sounds like pause again for a bit. I don't want you to be pissed. So Gold Coach just got two goals, so it's a goal of difference. 17 minutes, I won't ask you to speak that. It's okay, I know it's getting tense here. They keep playing fucking music at the end of each goal, it's driving everybody crazy. We go, centre clearance. Matt's got it, but Colin has got it out of the center. Comes to overrated Mac Andrew. Tries some soccer skills, kicks it over to the bad guy. Not happy with Ben Long. Comes Andrew, doesn't like him either. Oh, he's gonna have the back. Bowling! Matt! Oh, it's too high, it's too high. Let's see you under it. Score by Collingwood. Come to ground, comes a kick to go! Oh it's out of the falls, it's not even a handy point. I think they're gonna be trying to get it. Oh no, you're gonna be kidding me. Come on, six points! Six points. How much time? 30 seconds. 30 seconds straight out of the middle of our cut. Oh, we've got to draw this to our cut down. Yeah, draw it. So we're six points a difference. It's 30. We think about 30 seconds left. Got it, got it. And it would be a trap's dealing if you played something fair or not. It'll always point. I know, yeah. Come on, we've got a draw ready. Come on, get on with it. Well, everybody's pointing. It's a 666, is it?

SPEAKER_02 35:50

There's a 666 point. It's a point.

SPEAKER_01 35:54

It's a point. Oh, it's a point, they're getting a rebound. No, they're not. No, there was a 666. That guy ran down there. Come on, Matt, where are you? That'll be just about enough. They had to get the clearance.

SPEAKER_00 37:19

That's enough for that.

SPEAKER_01 37:22

Yes. Yes. I I I think I do think our wrap-up now, I think our um our Gold Coast friends are bugging. I'm fine. You're right? You're right. Talking again. You can speak again. Thank God for Nick Jacobs, huh? I do. He could say he was the he could say he was the difference. He he was absolutely instrumental in three or four goals and that last year. It's weird because you don't really think he's doing much, and then all of a sudden he does a lot. Yeah, yeah. But you notice when the sun went down, he was just shining on Nick. I think he's always got his own orbit. He's a moon. We can play a bit. If you had a forward, you could be a very good trainer. Yeah. Well, it's been a great afternoon. Football was the real winner. Okay, kick the kick. Yeah, the uh training oval. I was gonna say the 50-meter arc is a long way out. It's almost like it's about 50 metres out there. It's a lot further than you think, isn't it? Especially when you actually try and kick it. I don't know the old days when you had a kick on uh the old BFL car. And kick I got about halfway. The balls would go everywhere. Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well I guess we saw a good game. Well, we did say a good game, Art. I'm glad you got out of the line in the end, even now. And uh now we're off to uh the uh where are we going for general? We've had the preliminary matches. Yep, yeah. Uh now we're heading to the North Cliff Surf Light Saving Club. And we played a late booking at 7.30. Yes. We apparently we'll have no trouble getting in with a late booking at 7.30. So we're going for the double now. See if Carl can get up. Can we do it? Because uh last year we went to Adelaide. Yes, that's true. We've got lost. That's a good idea. Yeah, that's a good opening for now we have to go through. We've got a fair chance. We'll be back.
