Breakfast with Tim Payne and Brent Costello. Welcome to the show, three minutes past seven here in Tasmania and 10 past, oh sorry, three past 10. In London, we are a fine mime in Tim Payne this morning in a very bright yellow hat. And before we get to, why are you wearing that, Tim? I came in in a panic this morning 'cause I came in here and Hamish got to me straight away and said, Tim has gone to the GP. And I thought goodness me, we're a man down again. But it was the wrong GP, Tim. We've just got back from Silverstone. - I have, Brent Oak. It was a terrific day, actually. Myself and Xavier Doherty, fellow Tasmanian, who's over here with me. We're lucky enough to get our hands on some tickets, some pretty good ones too, I might add. And headed down on, well, we didn't head on the train, we headed back on the train this afternoon. We've just got in the door, actually, but. - Hang on. - You don't, no, no, no, hang on. - No two seven thirty this morning and got back at about nine thirty. - You did not catch the train. There's no way you would get on public transport, Tim. No way. - Can you believe that I had to catch a train? I had to use public transport because I was nervous that I wasn't gonna get back in time. The traffic, there was like 140 something thousand people there. And had we have gone in a car, we just wouldn't have made it. - So where is it exactly? How far out of London? - It's probably an hour, 50 minutes out of London, but I'm in Birmingham at the moment. So we probably took us about an hour and a half by car this morning to get down and we didn't leave down there tonight until about six p.m. I was dead set, nervous that I wasn't gonna be back here in time for 10 o'clock in a car. That is, I have never seen crowds traffic like that. That was extraordinary. You imagine now what the AFL Grand Finals like and put another 45,000 plus people on it. It was, it's the biggest event I've ever seen in my life. And honestly, it was grid locked. Except Brenna, they had the bus lanes. - Ah. - They were making executive decision to go a little bit, I think in land, we got some advice from a local who said you should get on a bus, get yourself to North Hampton, and then jump on a train. So we really didn't know what we were doing, but here we are. We made it back. - Now I haven't seen the results. How'd our man Oscar Piestre go? - It was a bit stiff actually, Brent. He started superbly. Lando Morris, his teammate was leading. He came right up on him. And just when that happened, they were one, two. It started to rain. So you had McLaren in one, two, and Mercedes with George Wilson and Louis Hamilton. Is it George Wilson? - Three and four. - And the rain hit, what they did was, Morris went in and changed his tires, and they kept Oscar out there. Then Mercedes, both there guys went in and changed. And he ended up basically on the wrong tires for about three laps, and they got too far ahead, but he drove brilliantly and was a bit unlucky. He was bit stitched up, but I think being the second driver at McLaren, Lando got the preference first to get in and change his tires. And Mercedes, for some reason, did it at the same time. So it was a fascinating race. It was brilliant to be there. We're obviously not massive rev heads here at SEM. - Well, it's about to say too. You might have lost half our audience by now, but anyway. - In terms of the spectacle and the race and the young Aussie guy, it was actually really, really exciting. And as I said, it was a great event to go on sea for the first time. - And yeah, you said you had some of the best seats there, so it would have cost you a small fortune, I'm sure. - I would imagine the seats that we had, Brent would have cost someone an absolute bucket load. - I'm out of our pocket. - I'm stunned here. - Very, very lucky actually, Brent, as you know, my manager James Henderson's got some pretty good contacts and he got me in touch with Mark Weber, who sort of ran out with a couple of tickets. So we weren't walking down pit lane saying hello to the drivers, but we were pretty bloody close. - And how did you choose the X factor to take along as you're plus one? Did it was there sort of a fart on for that extra ticket? - X is, no, so the other Tazzy guy here is obviously Betty Dunk and X is a massive F1 fan. And it was actually him about six weeks ago when we looked at the dates of when this tournament was on and said, oh, we've got a day off on the Sunday. Katie, do you reckon you could get us some tickets? And I said, yeah, I probably could. I know some people who know some people and threw it out there and it came through. So we had, honestly, we had a hell of a day. It was absolutely incredible. - Well, good on you. It's exciting and good on you too, Tim. We gave you a very hard time on Friday's show and you bounce back under enormous pressure on Saturday, 34 runs off, 21 balls, three catches, a stumping, it was magnificent to see. And you also got us a shout out too on global television. Here's how it all played out. - Top first game, got a first baller and he has a radio show back home in Australia and his dismissal has been going viral with me commenting saying, it's a long way to come for a globe. And there's Australian teammates here and Brent are up, so they're letting them know as well. Dirk Nane's came up and said, the boys are loving it. The mimicking. - You had a bit of mimicking, Tim? Is it the boys being getting into you? - Are we covered that all week? - Ooh, it's a long way to come for a globe. (laughing) It's hilarious, but now we bounce back to boys. We've had two wins on the trot. Brent and I, we're just building nicely for the back end of the tournament, actually, so. - You are, you, yeah, get going. Oh, didn't mean to interrupt. - No, we've had a little bit of a change of tact, actually. We discussed early that maybe we don't want to play all the games, maybe you don't want to make the semis and finals, maybe you want to just play the little bit. - What, why? Why wouldn't you not want to make the semis and finals? - Well, because Brent, you get paid a contract. It's not per game. So like most people, it's better to, it's better to work less than work more, is it not? - Tim, you're pulling on the green and gold of Australia. - Yeah, well, you're representing a country. - We're now into it, and we are feeling competitive. - As you should be. - It's got a hold of us, actually. It's getting a bit serious. Blakes are starting to warm up, and blokes are starting to do some run-throughs, and we're clicking into gear a little bit, so it's going to be very, very interesting. I think what really happened was Brent, Pakistan guys annoyed us a little bit, 'cause I feel like they might have had a like a three or four month training program before coming over here, and we were a bit sort of hit and giggle when they smacked us in the first game, and they embarrassed us a little bit, and so we decided we're just going to up our intensity a little bit for the next four or five games, and just see where we land. - I see. Okay. - Well, we may have heard a rumor that there might be a bit of prize money on office, so that's also helped to fuel the fast bowls, get off the long run. - My mail is you got some sort of rev-up Tim from the team management, and this is the, the like-door to go. - Take ownership. - I've been given, listen to this. - I'm angry, to be fair. We've got to grow the (beep) to be perfectly honest, excuse the language. (laughing) - You gag from Hammer, I didn't want that. Well done Hammer. - Well done Hammer. Owners have been very supportive, very supportive. I think we've had to can, he likes a team meeting. Our owner, and that was one of our rules. We didn't want to have too many team meetings, so we've managed to swap it for, instead of the pre-game meeting, he's happy to sacrifice that, as long as we have a post-game party. So most of the boys have been pretty happy with that, and we've so far delivered on that promise to him. So, luckily we had a nice day off this morning, a lot of the guys, I think it might have been spent in bed after a big win against our famous foe, the English. - Yeah, that's right, it was good to see. Good to see, now early texting here on the Harcourt's Open Line, if you'd like to get involved with the show, you can text us on 0437.552535, or even give us a call 1342.1533. Harcourt's more than just real estate professionals, it's from David Tim, would you believe? It says-- - It's fun. - I don't know which one. Has Tim been pre-paid for this tournament, looking at the crowds outside? If Pakistan, India, more of a club cricket game, that side of Pakistan and India, there's more of a club cricket game. TV rights must be huge to pay these pay packets involved. What's your response to that text to Tim? - I think both the crowds, the crowds we've played in front of have been pretty good, to be fair, but yeah, I don't think there's any secret that most sports these days are paid by TV deals, and cricket is clearly a huge deal in India, and they will take any cricket product over none, clearly, because they seem to enjoy watching our cricket, which has been very fascinating, but now I think there will be a decent crowd tomorrow, actually playing against India tomorrow, up at Northampton, so back to where I was today, on the train, Brent, actually, so I can basically say to the bus driver, we don't need you in the morning, I'll show the lads where we go, and come on the train, off we go. By the way, when we were coming back on the trains, we were saying, talking myself an ex, saying, wouldn't this be great to run from one end of Tazzy to the other? Thanks, press train. The train was so comfortable, you didn't even, you couldn't hear it, there was no bumps, it was just like you're sitting in your lounge room, you had a little table, you could have your food, or play cards, or anything, it was fantastic, just shot up from London, the Birmingham, in 50 minutes. So imagine that, our beautiful new stadium with the Tazzy timber and the lovely plastic roof that's clear and 50 metres high, Brent, eh? Over Evans Street there, which is gonna go down a tree, and that's built, imagine just a little train, thereby pulling up the other side of it, and you can come down for the two o'clock start from one system up the coast, then you can get back on the train at six o'clock, shoot back up in an hour and a half. Wouldn't that be amazing? It'd be magnificent, absolutely. No doubt about it. Hey, before we go to our first break, how has the reception been for your good self over there in the UK, because you're fair to say, it turned off so far, so good. Yeah, no, look, to be honest, Brent, nothing's changed. Okay, they still definitely hate my guts, so. (laughing) Mars will just keep going. Well, I don't know why, it's annoying, 'cause I only say what I think, and I'm only talking about cricket, and I think my comment was fair, they're coming last in the World Test Championship, that makes you a below-average cricket team. And it is what it is. No, honesty's the best policy team as they say. Hey, a normal show on the way today. He has this for a one, two punch, and someone described it to me overnight. Scott Roth, Tasmania, Jack Jumper's coach, live from the United States. Wasn't it magnificent watching Jack McVane, we'll make Nate picked up for the boomers yesterday. Officially, of course, and a man that has guided them beautifully is the head coach of the Jack Jumper's, and he'll join us later on this hour. Macquarie points and beach, the CEO will join us as well. After a big day, you alluded to the renders being released yesterday, Tim, looking forward to having Ann in the studio to talk all about that. Mattie Reed from TAS Racing, around the States, coming up shortly, and questions without notice as well. But as always, we'd love you involved, with the show, get us on the Harkorts Open Line, more than just real estate professionals at Harkorts, of course, 0437, 55535, breakfast powered by Kubota, take on any job with Kubota's range of tractors, mowers, and utility vehicles. Here's some Robbie for your Monday. ♪ DJ, DJ, DJ ♪ ♪ But you're making me feel so nice ♪ ♪ I want it ♪ - Welcome back to the show, it's time to go around. The status we'd like to do, and see what's happening, and as we alluded to earlier, concept design has been released from Macquarie points. Stadium, a timber woven design, transparent roof, and cricket ball trajectory data has been taken into account. The government called it the world's largest timber roof stadium, and said it could host the first ever indoor test match, which will be exciting. Timmy, what do you think from a cricket perspective, it'll be fascinating with this dome-shaped roof. - I love it, I love it. It's a great concept, it's a great sell-through to say we've got the first ever indoor test match, Brent. I imagine that being played in Hobart, wouldn't that just be something? But I am interested, and I did hear him say about the shadowing, saying that the roof is at such a height that it won't have an impact on the grass, I'd be interested in how that actually looks, and if that is the case. - Does the lighting side too, though, overpower the shadows? Because even if it's a day game, the lights might come on inside. - Maybe on all the time, would they? - Yeah, I don't know, mate, yeah. - 50% or whatever. - Yeah, yeah, maybe that overpowers the shadow. I don't know, I don't know. But apparently it won't be an issue. - But did you like the concept, though, Brent? It looks good. - I loved it. - I know there's always going to be people that are going to knock it, and those people have knocked it from the start. But I thought it looked pretty good. - Yep, fits in nicely with the area, I think, and not too overpowering. So, no, I think it's good. - Add them up. - Just back on the cricket. It is a chance for us to lead the way, isn't it? Because you'd think the ICC would get frustrated by rain delays, and you know, you could lose a lot of money by not playing for five days of test cricket. So if this is a way forward, it'll be magnificent. - It is, and it's an opportunity, but I'm not sure if it's, again, has it been thought through completely? And maybe it has, and they just haven't. So that, if we are playing under a roof and you need to have lights on, is it a pink ball test match or is it red? Because there's no way they're going to play a red ball test match with lights on inside. Though if the roof affects the light at all, it's going to be an issue. Or we just say, again, it's not a bad sales pitch to say, and we want to have the world's first indoor test match, and we want it to be a pink ball under lights. - Yep. - Well, we can actually take and have lights on and a red ball. It just wouldn't quite work. - Don Baker and David Boone are facing the media later this morning to talk about it all. So looking forward to having that chat. Hey, can you throw the boomers, Tim? - Can you ask them that question on my behalf, please. Tim from CNN, as your breakfast would like to know. - All right. - All test matches there, or do the lights turn off, and the light is fine for test cricket. - Tim, Boone is the man to ask, isn't he? - What's your second question? - Match official. - Breno, some terrific news around the world. - What is it, Tim? - Basketball fans with Jack McBae and Will Magnae officially being named in the Boomers 12 man Olympic team. - The 20? - They're first time both go to the Olympic Games. McBae is expected to take on a heavy shooting role, while Will Magnae could see? - Could see, limited court time with Joe and Joe Lungal playing in similar position to him. Tasmanian born Chris Gauling was one of the surprise omissions from the 17-man squad in Australia will play against Greece, Canada and Spain as part of group. And for people that haven't seen this going around social media, here's some reaction of both Jack and Will, hearing the news that there will be a boomer going to the Olympics. - Come on in. You're in. - Congratulations. - Oh. - You Japanese? - Yeah. - Okay, let's go. - Oh. - I worry. - I'll let you down. - Well, let you down. - The promise is that. - The last, well, really proud of you. - You look new through the Olympics. You're self-made man. You proud yourself. - Now that's a feel-good moment, magnificent stuff. Be great if you actually hear it. Hamish would have pulled that off. You know there's something online hammer that's called "Clip to MP3 Converter". So you don't have to hold your phone up to the speaker on your computer. You actually download the audio as it is. Do you know that, mate? - Oh, right. - Hang on. - I did use "Clip to MP3." I conferred it in audition. I will say my defense and you heard the original "Clip". It did sound like it was recorded in a team. - Goodness, mate. - Yeah, okay. I thought it was a little better than that. That's okay. We'll get better. - It was better than his last effort. - Last shot. - Yes, it was. - He's doing a good job out, man. You'll just sort of let me get it. - What a clip, Brenna. What a clip and what a social media. I mean, we start to see a lot of that stuff now with the AFL teams, but it's almost overdone. I reckon now in the AFL and that league and it's not that heartfelt and it doesn't. I mean, this is hard thing to say, but it feels like the AFL stuff doesn't mean that much compared to making in Olympic Games. Is that kind of fair? That was real emotion. That actually gives me tingles. And sometimes I've listened to it about 15 times and sometimes it gives me tingles and I find it really inspiring. And then the next time I listen to it, I almost want to cry. But cry for him with happiness, particularly for Jack, because of how emotional he was. And then for one of his mates and his teammates to get such amazing news and within ten seconds just want to know if he's mate, mate it, and then have an even bigger reaction because he made it rather than himself. Just shows I think that the culture that's been built down here at the Jack Jumpers. But Jack McVay, in particular, like Brian Gordon said, he's a self-made man. He has worked incredibly hard, and he tells that story himself where he was as a junior being told. He was too slow. He wasn't good enough. He wasn't big enough. He wasn't strong enough. And he's just worked and worked and worked. And it's a great lesson for any young kids. Out there playing any sport or doing anything in life, but if you work hard enough at it, you can't make it happen. What about this? You wouldn't have seen this to him. This is on his Instagram. He posted it yesterday. And it's a letter he wrote to himself in 2022. It says, "I, Jack McVay, am extremely happy and grateful to be an Olympian. My growth, mindset, discipline, selflessness, and self-belief has led me to exactly where I'm meant to be." That was from 2022. And here he is again after winning a championship finals MVP. Mate. Other stuff he's written there. Exactly. What a story he is. He's a star. Jack McVay, I think you've got to introduce him differently next year. He can't be the smiling assassin anymore. What are we going to do? He's the Lord of the Rings. He's the Lord of the Rings. I don't know. I don't know if anyone has next year. He likes the smiling assassin that. I don't know. I don't know if I'd feel comfortable changing it up on him. He's very superstitious, I reckon. And, you know, anyway, good news too. With Alana Smith heading to her second straight Olympics, she's enjoying a standout season with Minnesota in the WNBA, averaging career hires with 12.1 points, five rebounds, 3.2 assists and two blocks. She also ranks second in a league in three points shooting at 47.7% and fourth overall in blocks. And of course, the daughter of our man Darren Smith, the COO of the jack-jumper. So what until Alana as well? Do you want to think? You want to mark Radford too, Tim? He's heading over to the US coaching with the San Antonio Spurs as part of the NBA Summer League, which is great to see as well. Will he be up close with the Spurs coach? Or does he not come back? I think he was actually, I think he's meeting up with him. I don't know how close he'd be on a game day, but he was definitely catching up with him on the road. For the league, Summer League that March? Sure, he'd be there and looking for not coaching per se. The boys had him on Saturday. I haven't had a chance to catch up in the interview yet, but it is there on our platform. If you want to hear from Mark Radford who was on Saturday's in Tassie over the weekend, that's there for your e-balls to have a listen to. Timmy, take us through it. Pleasure to be right across this being on the other side of the world. Yes, I was. I was. Brenna Clarence had a big 72 point win over the North Hobart demons who's pretty ordinary years. Got to be said. He continues. Jack Briewell kicked two goals in his second game. Back for the year with the Ruse. Bernalke recorded a two point win over Launceston on the road, which was a great win. And Kingborough secured an important 37 point win over Lauderdale, which was a huge game to sew up that third spot. Brento. So there was the TSL results of the weekend. How about this for a text from David and Kingston? A lot of David's getting involved in the show this morning, which we love. A great weekend for the Kingborough Sporting Precinct gents. King Blues with their netball elimination final, which we'll get two later. Kingborough Lions knock off the underfeeder Devon Port in the soccer, which we'll get two later. And the Kingborough Tigers beat Lauderdale in the 40 and also Kingborough's own Will McName, Jack McFay name in the Boomers squad. So it wasn't a bad weekend if you lived down in the Kingborough municipality. Absolutely outstanding. Another text in here from David of Launceston. All of our David's have texted in this morning, which I love, with the potential three games in four days in the Intercontinental Cup just prior to the MBL season. With the Jack Jumpers, just skip the MBL Blitz on the Gold Coast. I don't know if they'll be able to do that, David. I'll take your point. But I don't think they're playing every game at the Blitz anyway. That's my male. They might play one less than the other teams or something like that. But it is going to be a heavy schedule. We know that. Absolutely. It is, Brent. It is. But guess what? What, Tim? That's the job of a professional athlete. And that's why they've got strength and conditioning. That's why they've got sports science staff. I don't think there'll be too many guys playing every minute of the MBL Blitz in the Intercontinental Cup. I think they will share the load and make sure that all the players are fit, firing and fresh for the first MBL game. But luckily we've got the coach coming on very shortly. We can speak to him about how they're going to manage those competitions and make sure the boys are as fresh as anything for their title defense. That's right. Exactly. There's so much stuff we need to get through in around the state, but Ham is giving me the wind up. I want to talk about Jalen Haywood kicking 30 goals in a game on the weekend too. Someone kicked 30 snags. Well, David Ingram from AFL Tasmania says he's only the fourth Tasmanian to kick 30 goals in a senior match. And one shy of the all-time state record, which was 31 held by Jamie Orton. So it doesn't happen often. Can you look up for me? How many did my man Trent stand and kick for OHA a couple of years ago? That's right. He didn't have a day out, didn't he? Old Speedy. That went 27. Well, why would I have to look that up? You've got a computer as well, Tim. Do it yourself. Do it yourself. Do it yourself. Because I have to look at your ugly melon on it. Hopefully I haven't got anything else to maneuver. And because we had some Wi-Fi issues, which we thought might have been my phone taking off. Anyway, can you shut up so we can get to the news? Because, hey, just for calling too on the show today, you can win a double pass to Fremantle versus Hawthorne on Saturday. Let's hear it for footy fans, thanks to Bank West. Let's hear it for Bank West. Of course, we are off to the news headlines. And coming back soon, talk racing with Mattie Reed from Taz Racing. It's breakfast, power bike, a motor take on any job with Kubota's range of tractors, miles, and utility vehicles. Get us on the Harkorts Open, the one Harkorts results for you. 0-4-3-7, double 5-2, 5-3-5. Nice work, Lincoln. That's the sort of gear we like on a Monday morning here on SCN. Breakfast and the sort of gear we like as well as this man who wanders in on a Monday and Friday from Taz Racing Racing is a way of life. Visit it's www.whileweerace.com.au. It's Mattie Reed and Tim's putting his finger up like he wants to say something off the top of your snapper. Yeah, I feel like I'm at school and I have to put my hand up to ask Brandi for the next week. It's really good. I've used to seeing that finger raised, but I don't know. But in hand, Paney. Yeah, I didn't do that too often. He's been watching you in the brake brake with that cup that you've got. Is that a hot chocolate or what are we drinking? Hot chalky? Yeah. God, you're into it, aren't you? I was actually thought you were going to eat the cup there at one stage in that boat. I can't believe he wasted 30 seconds on that. Snapper not to see you. Morning, boys. Thanks, Dad. Good card in Hobart yesterday and what happened? Just running through all the highlights from yesterday's races, please. There were nine races. Open handicap was won by Turk Warrior. Turk, good to see him back in the winner's circle. There were a few different doubles. Sarah Cotton, the clerk of the course, trying two winners on that program. Make a decision was an impressive winner through the day's quality leg. See your car. Had a double there as well. Unfortunately, there was a fall in race four, which was a bit of a scary moment. Brenna. So Anthony Darman and Hailey McCarthy came off their respective mounts. Hailey McCarthy, broken wrist and collarbone, I believe. And Darman's pretty stiff and sore, but I think he's escaped serious injury. So been a while since we've had a fall on a race track down here. And thankfully it happens very rarely, but both jockeys, I guess, escaped very, very serious injury. And there was a slight delay, but we were able to press on. So track race really well out there. And it was a nice, healthy crowd too. I saw a couple of VIPs slipping late in the afternoon. Sien's flash lift goal along with Tasmanian cricket royalty mark. David Colgrave just snuck out there. That was a real treat for a July meeting. Spoiled. Nine good races and some legendary people of Tasmania. Anyway, snap, Launceston harness last night. Knight continued to track towards the bow tide with another big winner. I just asked with the crowds last night. Did you notice that a little bit thinner in Launceston last night with the World Championship of Legends being beamed across the globe? I wasn't in Launceston last night, but I would be surprised if there was a big crowd on track there. Sunday night, winter, probably doesn't drag them in. And a few probably would have stayed home to watch you for sure. But yes, Knight got the job done. DiGawi got the job done too. It wasn't program of shorties in Launceston last night. The magician broke the track record over the 1680 meters. The first three crossed the line in the Golden Mile all broke the track record. He's absolutely flying at the moment. Magician, not sure where he heads as a grand final. Whether he'll head back across the water and look for some targets there. But yeah, we've got some good paces down here at the moment. They're all kind of hitting form at the right time. Absolutely. And what about the Greyhounds tonight, Stapper? We've got the Tazzy Oaks and the Derby finals. The Oaks and the Derby dealer, I think, will be winning the Derby for Ted Medhurst. Absolutely loves it up there in Launceston. Outstanding record, I think he's winning. He's the dad. Yeah, well, maybe. Right, his guide goes around. The Staying Race, over 720 meters, it'll be very, very short. But always good to see a superstar like him going around. And the Oaks is probably more open for an ace. So that's probably the one that might potentially throw up a result, but a good card there. Now, here there was a safety concern yesterday at the track. Is that right? Safety concern. Genuine safety concern, I've been told. So apparently you and your young blog Emmett, two and a half years old. Yeah. At the races, having a kick of the footy on the home straight. Well, we're on the main grass. OK. I'm just going with the mail I've got. And he didn't see Emmett too much, our texture, because he was retrieving your shanks. You know, the bushes beside the Manning yard, apparently. I was going to say, Breno, my mail was that it wasn't the young fella's kick that was causing the safety concerns. Well, it's a funny story here, actually. It's not footy related. I took the young bloke down to Tazzy Golf Club a couple of weeks ago just to try and kill a bit of time. And was in the bar after the round, take him in for a little apple juice. And one of the blokes that was in the group behind me said that your young bloke chips better than you do. He's obviously seen me just shank a couple of near the grade. So that's fair. I think it's the same with footy too Emmett. Emmett kicks it well. And I got the snapper nickname from footy back in the day, Breno. But I think I've lost a few of those skills. For 110,000 people attend Tazman in race meetings every year. Racing is a way of life. Visit it's whileerace.com.au. You win some. You'll lose more for Fran Confidential Support. Visit gamblinghelponline.org.au. Thanks for coming in, mate. Yeah, I'll see you on Friday. We look forward to it. And we're off to our next break. And we've got to get to it because after this, the great man, Scott Roth joins us all the way from the U.S. of A to talk all things basketball here on S.E.N. Tazibreke. It's time now to welcome in our next guest. And he joins us live from the United States of America. And we appreciate it because it's the start of his last week of holidays. It's JJ's championship winning coach Scott Roth. Thanks for joining us, Coach. Hey guys, what's happening? We're going well. Thank you. Thank you. First of all, congratulations to you because Jack McVay and Will Magne have made the boomers squad and you yourself have played such a big role in that. So well done to you and all of your coaching staff. You must be enormously proud. Yeah, obviously it's a huge thing for both of those two guys on two separate types of journeys that started with us three years ago. And it's a big moment for our organization. It's really a big moment for my coaches who have spent an enormous amount of time with those guys. And really a big shout out to Ryan Carroll, our physio, and Harrison Gillette, our strength and conditioning coach in regards to Magne and his recovery. And they have a lot to be proud of and it's something great for the state and our organization to have two Olympic athletes that are with the Jack Jumpers now. And then Ryan Carroll's with them as a physio for the boomers. So the big moment, we're really, really excited. And then when they released the video of them the other day, of them getting a little undercover kind of video with them, finding out it was quite emotional for me to watch those two guys. And I think, you know, the thing that resounded to me was the first thing out of Will's mouth was that Jack make it. And it's really what we've tried to build here about being selfless and next man up. And it's never about you. And on those words came out of Magne's mouth that really hit me in the heart. It was a beautiful moment. Scott, no doubt about that. And a huge tick for what you guys have been able to build at the Jack Jumpers now. I know you've got a huge amount of belief in both of those players at MBL level. But did you, were you confident that they would both make the final cut of 12? Well, I think, you know, no one's going to be happy in this outcome. And obviously, there's been a lot of banter going on in the last 24 or 36 hours. And someone's going to get their feelings hurt or the seasons have to be made. And I really thought they would both make it to be honest with you because they're just team guys and they can fit in anywhere. And they don't need the, you know, need the ego of having to really be on the court and play other than the fact that they're going to be ready all the time. And I think that this, the work ethic and, you know, Jack's personality are something that it's just hard not to get past. And you fall in love with the way they go about their business. And Brian had tough decisions to make. And those are painful decisions too. And he bought together what he thought was the best team that he can coach. And I was very confident those guys were going to get a very, very good look and a good chance. And Brian texted me afterwards and said, what a great bunch of human beings. Those two guys wore a great teammates and we're really thrilled to have minor roster and just a big shout out to my coaches and the work they've done with them over the last three years. Yeah, I know you're pretty tight with Brian Scott. So did he reach out to you before the process as well? And to get some, some intel, I suppose, on both of those players? No, you know, I try to stay as far away from that kind of stuff as possible. I think your work speaks for itself. You know, we don't do a lot of talking in the Jack Jumbr's organization as far as a lot of boasting or anything. We just come down and do the work. And if you appreciate what we're doing, it'll take care of itself. And, you know, they had a spectacular run at the end of the season. And Jack had a spectacular season. I mean, Jesus, his list of what he's accomplished, MVP of the team. You see the finals, second team MBL gets married, the shots of a lifetime, and now he's Olympic. I mean, that's a storybook in itself. So the work they were doing could not be noticed. And Brian probably was watching it all the way through and knew what he was going to get two quality guys coming in there to work. Yeah, it's gone now. Jack, you just said it then. Jack's a bit more of a storybook. Dream come true, hard work story, which has been awesome. But Will doesn't get as much, I guess, not credit. But I mean, he's had a different way of getting there. And he had some big setbacks. He's had some bad injuries over the last three or four years. And he's just stuck at it and also really deserves this opportunity. Yeah, I think it said in the beginning, you know, there's two different pathways for both of these guys. Jack was a guy that, you know, was kind of taking off the heap of teams that really weren't very interested in them, other than maybe he could finish out the rosters in some areas. And I just saw him in a completely different way and his three years of growth had been amazing. And then Maggie came in with, you know, losing with talent. But unfortunately, just, you know, time after time, these injuries kept sending him back. And he really went through a very tough, tough stretch every time he got hurt because he was just thinking about turning the corner. And the fight that he did in the last two or three years. And again, with Ryan Carroll and Harrison Gillette, the work they've done with him to get him back on his feet. You know, I told those guys yesterday in an email that they take as much credit as anyone in our organization of getting a will up and running. And it's just been a long grind for him. But the character and the toughness and the mentality he has with the grit and grind of what we do, he just persevered. And he's a story in himself of just not getting up and continuing to fight his way through it. Texan here on the Harcourt's Open Line, the Swimming Harcourt's results for you. It says, Coach Roth, thank you for embracing Tasmania and making the entire state feel a valued part of an unforgettable journey these last three years. Champions on and off the court. Go, Jackie. That is from Adam on the Harcourt's Open Line this morning. Hey, you're looking forward to getting home. We like to call it home for you now. It's pretty cold here at the moment. You're probably sunning yourself over there in Florida, but you're back here in a week's time, I understand. You know, I'm back on the on the 16th. I'm excited to get back and get going. I'm super motivated. I'm really excited to get back with the coaches and start to have our meeting to get this thing up and going again. And we have a lot of things to accomplish and things to work through. And it should be a really quite interesting season again, but I'm extremely, extremely motivated. I'm ready to get back and ready to get going. And, yeah, I just can't wait and, you know, the weather, I think, pain, you were saying something the other day. I heard, but I always get a kick when they talk about the weather when it's one degree different in Melbourne. In Tasmania, you're freezing, but Melbourne, you're somehow warmer is what it is at the end of the day. You know, I always say the sun doesn't sign in the gym, so you don't have to worry about weather. And you just go about your business and I'm ready to get a little cold. Good, absolutely. And Scott, this little thing probably hasn't got as many accolades. Majuk Dang is also up to the Olympics for the first time. He'll be representing South Sudan. So again, another huge accomplishment and tick for the jack jumpers. Yeah, it's a trifecta for us to have three guys represented. Is that official that you heard about? Or because I took them and took them and took them and wasn't quite official? Oh, Tony's broken the news, has he? Right, you heard it here first from Jaime Spence. Goodness. Well, if it is, it's close. I know that I talked to him yesterday and he was down to 15 with the cut line and they were about making some more cuts. And he felt good to worry with that, but you know, they have three players in. And, you know, Majuk is another completely different story that's been amazing of no one wanted him last year. And, you know, the impact he's had with us has been incredible. We wouldn't be sitting with the champions here for people if it weren't two of his games in the finals. And if he does get down there and it is finalized, yeah, it's a trifecta for the jack jumpers. And a couple of quick ones before we let you go, high performance center. I think everyone was a little worried you'd come back and we'd have no news. Are you comfortable where the high performance center at Kingborough is at? I'm comfortable where it's at. I'm not comfortable until I see a bulldozer or some whole being dug or materials being delivered. But I'm comfortable and I think it's a great location, a really, really good location. But until I see some dirt moved and something actually transpiring, then I can get a little bit excited. You know, this is something, again, that hopefully won't take very long. You know, if you built that square box just about anywhere else in the world, it would take just under a year to get something as simple as that done. But for whatever reason, it is what it is. But until I see some dirt moved or bulldozer or something, then I can get really excited. And we've had a few texts about the big period you'll have coming up, obviously. We're going to have some pre-seizing games on the Northwest Coast. You're going to be going to the Embial Blitz. Then you're going to be going to Singapore for the Intercontinental Cup and then straight to Perth, I believe, for around one. I know you don't like talking about, you know, busy schedules and travel and things like that. A lot of our listeners are interested in how you handle that little period. Yeah, so I think for me, we'll go up to the Northwest to do two exhibition games. And we'll probably won't play some of our guys at that point. You know, if Jack and Will get back, those guys probably would not play those games up there. You know, ultimately, for me, we go to play to win wherever we go to play. It doesn't matter what kind of the year or who we're playing or if it's exhibition or we're just getting ready to go. Winning is winning and losing is losing, but we'll be smart about what we're doing. You know, ultimately, for me, can we come out to the other side of Singapore healthy going into the season? That's my main concern, you know, I want to go and obviously play well in those places. But ultimately, how we manage guys' minutes and what we end up doing is somewhat to be seen yet. I have some ideas, but in general, the big goal for me is to come out of the other side of Singapore with a healthy roster going down in the in the purse to start the season. And Scott, just following your socials a little bit while you've been on holidays. Looks like you've been doing a lot of fishing. You've been catching much or not? Well, I only was fishing there with my daughter up in the bush and Quebec in a very, very remote area with her. You know, my family's actually been going up there for almost 90 years. And she has never been up there and I haven't been up there for about six years. And it was really an emotional bonding for me. With the bee with her up there were my mom and dad walked around and fished. And it's just so remote and you just away from everything. And we had a great six or seven days up there fishing. And it was just an amazing, amazing time to be up there. And that's my fishing for the summer. And, you know, I'm back to work here and having zoons and getting ready. And I have a couple of zoons later today with the coaches. And we'll get ready to go and I'm excited to get back. We're excited to have you back and we'll look forward to getting in the studio for a bit of an extended chat. Once you do, it'd be great to see you and have a longer conversation because there's so much we could talk to you about. But thanks so much for giving up your time on holidays for us here on SCN Tassie Breakfast. And we look forward to seeing you soon. Anytime, I'll talk to you guys very soon. Take care. Scott Rose, the coach of the Jack Jumpers joining us. So we are late for our final break of the hour. Here it comes for you now on SCN Tassie Breakfast. We're powered by a kaboda, take on any job with kaboda's range of tractors, mails and utility vehicles. Get us on the Harcourt's open line. 047, 052, 535, Harcourt's results for you. Freaky powered by a kaboda, take on any job with kaboda's range of tractors, mails and utility vehicles. Harcourt's open line, loving your text. We'll get to those shortly 047, 052, 535, Harcourt's results for you. And you can win a double pass to free OV Hawthorne on Saturday. Let's hear it for the footy fans thanks to Bankwest. That's all coming up for you in the next hour. Along with Ann Beach, who is the CEO of Macquarie Point Development Corporation. She's our guest right after the news here on SCN Tassie. Breakfast with Tim Payne and Brent Costello. Welcome back to the show. It is six minutes past eight o'clock on this Monday morning. Exciting news yesterday with the renders for Macquarie Point Stadium released to the public. And a person that has played a massive part in that is the CEO of Macquarie Point Development Corporation. And Bechu joins us in the studio. Hello Ann, nice to see you. Good to see you. Good to see you. Can you mock them? We can actually hear you that bit better. How are you? Good to see you. Thanks for having me. Massive 24 hours. Finally, we can have a look and see what this and your vision looks like from Macquarie Point. How's the feedback been so far? Oh, it's been great. And it's really exciting to finally get these out there. We've been working on this for a little while. And to start sharing our work is super exciting. It has been a really positive response. We have worked really hard to get something that felt like it landed. It lives in this space and that's been a lot of the response that we've had. Yeah, someone said to me last night, it looks like more of an arts entertainment complex rather than a stadium from the outside. So you really have worked it into the area nicely. Yeah, and some of the feedback has been not only does it work in this space, but it almost looks like you could pick it up and put it anywhere in Tasmania. And I think that was the moment where we're like, yeah, we've got this. What's been the biggest challenge for you in all this? I mean, I'm sure there's been a few, but is there one thing that you've had to navigate pretty carefully? Yeah, there's been lots of just moving parts. So lots of different things you can see there are lots of different user requirements. Obviously, we've got a bunch of sensitive stakeholders around us. So to these sites, we have to have sports. We have to really careful about things like light emission to the west of the site. We have the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, we have to really careful about things like noise. We have residents and accommodation around us thinking about height. There's a lot of interest in our sites. We certainly get a lot of feedback. So trying to get as much information out there as we can, but balancing all those different needs. But I think we've found a pretty good solution to try and get a good multi-purpose outcome that's efficient and also looks great. There must be a real challenge to try and appease everyone that does have an issue, but still trying to do things the way you need them to work, I suppose. How difficult's it been and how important Cox architecture been and all this as well to try and get all that right? Yeah, it has been important. Some of it's about how we've positioned the stadium on the site as well. So positioning it as much as we could between key sightlines and then keeping those edges down as much as we could. Cox have been fantastic to work with. They've built a bunch of stadium around the country and have been part of the stadium around the world. We've had a fair bit of feedback along the way. They're always open to that. And a lot of what Tasmania and Tasmania is pretty hard to articulate, but we're pretty sure what we don't like. And they take that on board. I think all of the partners they've brought in has been really important as well. So keenly obviously their local architect has been a big part of this. They've done a bunch of beautiful and really functional buildings locally. But all of the specialist engineers, we've got engineers that are based in Germany that are down here with a team that just focus on the roof. And you look at the roof and that is that was our make or break moment having that really elegant structure with no additional elements protruding. It's really fine. It's just one of those things that really make it work. The broader engineering team, the specialist that work on the turf, the specialist work on the light. We've got a whole kick of it all there. And also having a bunch of these guys in the office has been fantastic too, so we can do all of that live. We hadn't had Tim and for this interview, but I think he joins us now. Are you there, Tim? I'm back. Oh, good. I thought you just muted me, Brent, to be fair. Oh, I thought about it. Yeah. You asked the question, Tim. It's over to you. I've missed the whole thing, Brent, so you just can go and I'll just come in when I can. All right, all right. Well, I guess, and we talk about some of the things you've had to navigate, Cenotaphs obviously become an issue and rightly so, it's such an important piece of infrastructure here. Confident you can work in with the RSL to make it not impacted at all. Oh, look, I think we just have to keep working with the RSL, but also there's other organisations like the Vietnam veterans and the friends of the soldiers' moral walk. The moral walk goes on the other side of the domain, but it also does continue up to the Cenotaph as well. So obviously, the things that are important to them are height and height is a really tricky one. So to get that multi-purpose functionality, particularly for cricket, we do need that height. The way we positioned the stadium in the site, we have got the highest point within those key sightlines. But obviously, just that connection with the city is really important for the Cenotaphs. Having a transparent roof and having that supported by a grid structure helps soften that. There are a number of things we've done from a design perspective to support that integration. There's things like, from a cricket perspective, obviously, you need media that runs north-south alongside the pitch. We've put the media pod in the south, so that means it's just that, I guess, structural bulk sits to the south, avoiding that kind of element to the north. The good share that will be, as we talked about yesterday, when we released the designs, will be sitting to the north of the site. That will connect in with the concourse. We're looking at how we can include the design of that roof to enable a visual connection. So when you're in that space, you can look up and see the Cenotaph. Keeping those edges low is really important for that connection. And by not having that cricket media hub to the north, we can create views from the seating ball through to the Cenotaph and vice versa. Also, looking at things like the field. So when we did the precinct plan, we made sure there was room for an MCG-sized field, because every field is different. I get asked about the field a lot and go, "Is it a standard-sized field?" There's no such thing, every stadium is different. But the big thing with MCG is it's quite wide, and that's important for rectangular sports here that bit further away. So by keeping it nice and narrow, we keep those edges a bit lower. It just softens the whole size of the building. There's a bunch of things like that we've done to just minimise impact. And I think it is going to be something we have to keep working on. But once we get this built, I think people will see how well we've integrated the two spaces. Just back on what you said about the ROC, we need the height for cricket. So how do you get around that? I mean, you're going to have to have it that high, and it's going to overshadow the Cenotaph potentially. So it's something you're going to have to give. How do you tackle that moving forward? Well, won't overshadow because it's to the south, so sunrise sunset is absolutely not impacted. And there's five sightlines. So most of those run around the stadium, and there's two that have partially impacted. So because we have a transparent roof, they're only partially impacted. They already are a little bit from the vegetation. So what we just need to do is be really transparent about that. So I met with the President of the ROC last week before we release the renders. The commitment I gave to him is that we will share all the information that we have, and that we will produce a number of renders so it's really clear for them to see exactly the level of impact, and then we can keep working on that with them. Anything from your tip? Yeah, in terms of the cricket modelling that you've done, I know you've used the ball trajectory data. But in terms of playing test cricket under that roof, can you play with under that roof without lights on underneath that? Would you want me to play red ball test cricket, or will we only be able to play day night time of fixtures under there? No, we want to get to red ball, that's our focus. So the tricky thing is, and as you know, it can't be accredited until it's built. So what we need to do is just keep working through the detailed design process with cricket TAS and cricket Australia, and work with them to breathe ICC, make sure they have all the information available. We're workshopping with them through detailed design. So we're making sure we're factoring in everything they need. They have a clear understanding of how it's coming together, and then hopefully that sign off process is pretty smooth. But we do want to get that red ball sign off, and that's critical, I think, to enable that full content to be in the stadium. Yeah, and just, I don't know if Brent's asked this today, but sort of waking up over here this morning and just reading a lot of the comments in the mercury with people asking about the photos that have been released seem to be from good angles. Are we expecting to see ones, sort of from mirrors from the water line, to see how much it will impact from that side as well? And when will they come if we do? Yeah, so what we released yesterday is kind of what we're calling a sneak peek. So a lot of work goes into creating those photo quality renders. What we're putting together is a full package that we've part of our application through the project estate significance process, and we'll have a whole collection of view lines, and we'll look to create any of those that then come up with further questions, but there will be views looking to and from the city, and we will look to replicate some of those where there are some already in the public domain where people are keen to see like an equivalent. There's probably one in particular that are looking at the Hunt Street facade, where there's a pretty solid mass. So we've looked to, I guess, superimposed that visual into the model that the team have built so you can see an equivalent of that. I got asked about that a bit yesterday, so we'll look to get that up on our website so people can see that pretty quickly because we have already done that one. How that kind of looks is, because we've kept those edges really low, it's basically just the transparent roof and the sort of supporting annulus that you see, because we have kept it at a similar scale to the existing street facade. In terms of the construction by 2029 timeline, I don't know if you know, but the guy sitting to your left there is a construction expert, and he has repeatedly said it cannot possibly be done. So can you, I said 20 eighties a little bit. Look, the thing that drives the timeline is the sequencing, right? So we need to do things like get the structure in place and then get the turf to the right quality, and that's what we're working through. So what we're working on is we need to start as soon as possible. So once we get this post submission in, we'll be preparing basically for how do we gear up for the construction phase. So we'll be doing everything possible to make that timeline. We're pretty confident that we can do it. If we fall into the early parts of 2029, we're still going to be ready for that season, but we'll be targeting the end of 2028. And beach is our guest on SCN Tassie breakfast. She is the CEO of Macquarie Point Development Corporation. Just on that, when would we see a shoveling the ground, there's diggers there and stuff at the moment. When will we actually see potentially like the first part of the study being built, do you think? Well, we love to dig a hole. So we already have a few diggers on site. And part of our core business is already doing a fair bit of, I guess, remediation and stuff. So there's a bit of activity happening at the moment. We're just finishing off the last piece of major remediation. So we've just moved around about 12,000 metres cubed of soil and bringing that corner on Davey and Evan Street back down to ground level. So our core business is basically site prep. And that's one of the things that help us move really fast on this. So that work's already happening. We'll be looking to gear up to move straight away after we get approval. So once we get that planning approval, we just need to progress with building. And then we'll be ready to go. Do you know when that could possibly be though? So it's a 12 month planning assessment process. We'll be looking to make a submission this month. So end of this month's equivalent next year. OK, that's all. We'll see some action. Cool. We just need to get a building approval. So just a bit of a buffer there. And then we'll be ready to move. OK. Nothing from you, Tim. I'll just do it now. Well, again, I don't want to back over things, because I missed the whole stuff because you muted me. But you say to someone who knows absolutely everything about this site and the designs and everything goes. But it must be incredibly frustrating to continually read stuff that says that it can't happen and why it can't happen when you know other what's. Oh, look, it can be. But look, it's probably on us to get a lot more info out there. So it is one of those things. It's a little bit like the Olympics. Everyone's an expert until they're not. So everyone's got a lot of expertise in quality surveying of discovery over the last 18 months. But look, we just need to get. We need to keep working through this process. And as we do the work, we need to release it. And the trick is to we need to not only release it, we need to release it in a way that's accessible so that people can understand it. So one of the things is we've built a 3D model of all the geotech data that we have. That's pretty crunchy and exciting if you're into geotech. It's less accessible for everyone else. So we're just trying to create a little animation that kind of explains what that is, what we've got, how we use it. We'll get that up on our website. We'll make our submission to the TAS planning commission. We're looking at a few things and the things that stand out to us that people are concerned about and interested about are transport and the economics. So we're going to try and get, in parallel to finishing that work we're going to try and get some help with some common specialists to pull out some of the crunchy data to make sure you don't have to be an expert in that and read the reports to understand what they say. So it's just a balance for us to move really fast, get it right, but also try and find a way to make this accessible because people want to understand, but it is really intense and some of it is quite complex. So it's trying to balance that, but look, I think part of this is it just reflects the people care, right? They're excited. There's a long history in this site and the onus is on us to get into this next phase and make something happen. Put a text on the Harkorts open line here for you and Harkorts more than just real estate professionals. Good morning, S.E. and Tazzy breakfast magnificent Macquarie Point Precinct News on Sunday. Can you please ask the Macpoint CEO, who I believe is doing a brilliant job. The architect did mention on Sunday seat expansion capacity, however, was what total 40,000 was previously mentioned. Can you answer that one for us then? Yes, so as a minimum, we need to have 23,000 seats. That's what's in the agreement and that's what we're looking at as a base. We are looking at structurally how we could support an expansion and there's a few things to think about in that and that's where having a team like Cox is really important at the start of that conversation because you can imagine the difference between 25,000 and 40,000 structurally is a completely different build because it's double the number. We have key structural elements like a roof that go with that and you can imagine it's not just a case of plugging more seats. It's all the things that service the people that sit in those seats. It's a bigger concourse, it's wider stairs, it's more food and beverage, it's more toilets because you can jam more people in there but if you have to wait half an hour to go to the toilet and you miss a quarter, no one's going to be pretty stoked about that. Also, there's the emergency stuff that goes with that so we need to keep it safe. So when we did the footprint for the stadium, as I said, we made sure it was probably a bit bigger than we thought we needed in the precinct plan, just in case. When it's come to the design, we're looking at keeping it around that 23,000 and then how much can we fit in without needing to make a substantial structural change investment, which is the key thing. We don't want to be knocking down this beautiful roof just to fit in a few more seats. So what can you get to then? So we can get to around 30,000, just over around that sort of space without having to make any major structural changes. So what Alistair talked about yesterday is we're consciously of building gaps in the bowl. There's also the sort of back where we can plug seats in in the design in the way the plats are done. It's also thinking about the way we can do a spectrum of offerings. So one of the things stadiums TARS have been talking to us about is it's not just seated. Sometimes you can have structured standing so we can have a space, we can catch up with some mates and some people are looking to do those different types of offerings in the stadium. So we'll look at all those different things. We're about the infrastructure in terms of the public transport and stuff. What sort of stuff is going into? I've not had a chance to read through it, but I know I went to a huge event here today. And it just made the day even better. When you're moving 140,000 people and it was seamless, it just makes any event that you're going to so much better if we get those things right. Yeah, 100%. It is critical that we get the transport element right. And for TAS regions, we need to get over the expectation you can get a rock star park if you want to go somewhere. And that's just not how the stadium works. Sorry to move this quantum of people. You can't get everyone a car park because if we built an epic car park, everyone would be sitting in their car for hours to get out again. Having said that, there are already a huge number of car parks in the city. We have thousands of people that come into the city every day Monday to Friday to get to work that we've all navigated to get here today, not you, but Brett and I did. So, it's utilising the things that are already there, but look at things like Optes. When I went to Optes Stadium for a game, I had no idea where I was going to get there. I just stood at the bus stop, saw the right bus jumped on it. You get there, you go to the gate that focuses on the public transport element, go in, find your seat, come back out the same way, find the same number, stand there, get on it and somehow you end up back where you were. That's what we need to do. We need to have a really efficient game day bus service and that will be critical here. So we already have the infrastructure to do that. And that's the way we've designed the stadium. So there'll be four gates. The southeast one that will be our main plaza. That was one of the renders we released yesterday that showed all those people walking into the space. That's where we expect people coming in from Sullivan's Cove, where they've been out in the city or they're already in the city and we get that connection. In the northeast that's sort of pointing up towards Regatta Point, that's going to be our public transport focus, where we will have places for buses that are just pumping through, getting people in and out, getting people in and out of that space. So it's well designed, well synchronized and a little bit of encouraging people that on game day, it's okay to jump on a bus. And we could sit here and talk about this all day. It's so exciting and so much to unpack. Unfortunately, run out of time. But close to say, if you're interested in all this, Alistair Richardson will be my special guest on the Devil's Advocate this afternoon. We'll deep dive into some of the nitty gritty around Macquarie Point Stadium. But really appreciate your time coming in this morning. It's such a busy time for you. So thanks very much. Thanks, Homie. And we will be making your submission, hopefully late this month, so happy to come back and chat. We'd love to get you on as much as we can. And it's joining us, the CEO of Macquarie Point Development Corporation. We're off to our next break here on SCM Tassie Breakfast. Powered by Kubota, take on any job with Kubota's range of tractors, males and utility vehicles. Make sure you get us on the Harkorts Open Line. Loving your text this morning, Harkorts results for you. 0437, 552, 535. Cheers, we're going to be so, so far. High powered guests to me. We've got Scott Roth at Ann Beach. It's been awesome. But we're going to go straight to the news here because we've got a big second half hour of the hour coming up. I was going to share something with you. Okay, go quickly. Because I get the blame along with some things that keep wrong with our wife. I've now been informed reliably from Melbourne studios that I was muted by one Hamish Spence who may have pressed the wrong button. Yeah, we're trying to feel a lot better going to this next break. I'm not willing to throw a man under the bus just yet till we find out. Lincoln hasn't really explained how that's happened. So we'll find out during the news headlines. It's coming your way now. It's breakfast powered by Kubota, of course. Take on any job with Kubota's range of tractors, males and utility vehicles. We are going to get to your text. 0437, 535, 535, Harkorts results for you. And just a reminder, you could win a double pass to Fremantle versus Hawthorne. So today, let's hear it for footy fans. Thanks to Bank West. Bank West do a great job, of course. We are off to the news headlines. See if they come for you now. One of my favorite songs of all time. Errol. I love it, Tim. Cracking tune. It's the end as you breakfast. No, I won't. You know why? Because Link stitched me last time. There's a slight delay in our programming from Melbourne to here. So I listened back and it sounds like I'm out of sync by half a second because I was. Oh, but I actually was. Never be out of sync. I was because Judah no fault on my own. But anyway, we've got to get through some of these texts we've got here, Tim, because a lot of people sending them in. We've got one here, Coach Popovich is part of the USA Olympic coaching team. Mark Radford said he would get to spend time with him post to the Olympics. So there's your answer to that. I love our list is how they know. It's awesome. Another one here. Actually, I might get up for questions without notice so we can talk about some other stuff because that's one I could throw at you for that segment. What else we got going on? We haven't got through. I've got a text in here, Brenna, a private text. I remember when Snapper said there was some cricket. The race is. Yes. In these. I've got a text in here saying there was only one cricket royalty at the races yesterday, mate. And that's come through from Mark Ridgeway. Obviously, meaning himself. I love it. Big ridgy. That's great. We spoke about Martin Preston's Jalen. How did he get 30 goals before? That's an incredible thing to do. So well done to Jalen. Other news over the weekend. Timmy, the NTFA confirmed last week that Launceston and North Launceston will join the new Premier League model next year after the TSL wins. No great shock there because where else were they going to go? Didn't really have a chance. Boy, aren't they talking about their own league? A rival league you thought they were going to set up, did you? Well, weren't they trying to join the Southern one at one stage? That was the rumor. I'm not sure how serious it was. Hey, what about the Tasmania Devil's Boys Coach's League team? They were meant to play Gibbsland. That was cancelled, though, due to long flight delays. So that was a little disappointing, but unfortunately these things do happen when you're trying to fly to the state sometimes, Tim's, which is unfortunate. TSL finals, Tasmania, Nepo League, running Premier's Northern Hawks. They've been untouchable all year, practically the Hawks. They had a close game against Cavaliers a few weeks ago, but they got the job done by six goals on the weekend to progress to the Grand Final. Cav's now take on Kingston in this week's other final to see who goes through to the Granny after the Blues knocked off Crypt Warrata by 10 goals in the Elimination Final. So, the weekend and the MPL, Brenna as well. Yes, go through it for us, Tim. King Relines, King Relines gave them Port Strike as their first loss of the season with a 2-1 win at Valley Road. The Gaunauke Knights overcame a half-time deficit to defeat the Clarence Zebra's. 5-2 Brenna had come flying home. Launceston City had a dominant four-nil victory over Launceston United in the local Derby or Derby Brett, depending on where you are from. And South Hobart experienced a surprise 2-2 draw against a nine-man Riverside Olympic that leaves just five points between the league's top four. Sides after 13 rounds, Brenna. Very nice. Very nice. Tim, well done. Good reading from you. I'll tell you what, the MPL is going beautifully this year. It's so tight. It's always been the strikers out on top pretty comfortably the last few years, but it is fascinating to watch this year. What I want to know there, Hammer, what was the half-time score in the Gaunauke Knights in Clarence Zebra going? Half-time score? They've come from a half-time deficit to defeat them 5-2. Well, there we go. There you go. WSL had a buy this week, and to answer your question from before Tim, Hamish has found the answer for us, Trent Stan, and keep 30 goals in a game back in 2021. I knew it. I thought it was 27 for some reason. 21-2. 21-2. All right, we're off to a break, because after this, I want to come back and grill you with questions without notice. I've got a few good ones for you this morning. We are powered by Kubota. Take on any job with Kubota's range of tractors, moles, and utility vehicles. It's still time to send us a text on the hardcore. It's open line, hardcore. It's results for you. And just a reminder, you could win a double pass to free over here on this Saturday in Launceston. Thanks to Bankwest. Let's hear it for footy fans. 0437-552535 is our famous text line here on SCN Tassie Brecky. On SCN Tassie breakfast, questions without notice. It is indeed, and Tim, a question for you off the top this morning. Were you a fan of Damien Hardwick's comments in his post-match press conference yesterday? I'm not sure if you've heard it. You heard it off the top of the show, actually, when you dropped the magic, you dropped the F-bomb. I reckon it was a set play. What do you reckon? Yeah, I think he's normally very measured, that is for sure. I didn't mind it. I don't love it. I don't think we need to be dropping the F-bomb all the time. But I didn't mind it, given that too many times, Brent, we go through these media conferences and people want to see some passion. They want to see people speak honestly, and they sick of the weekend, week out, same thing being said, a press conference. So from that point of view, I actually enjoyed it. Could you have done it without actually dropping the F-bomb? Probably. But worst things have happened, and worst things have been said. I'm sure we'll hear fireworks going forward. Worst things have been said. I saw a few worst things on the weekend. If you looked at news.com that I use article about you and Ben Stokes, I'll tell you what that was, some fruity language used in that. I cannot. I actually scrolled through some of that time on the plane, on the train. How fun is it? I couldn't read it all. Was that many? I know. They love me over here. It's terrific. Bredo, your boy is the West Coast Eagles. Should Adam Simpson be wrapped up as the West Coast Eagles coach? Yeah, look, I've strongly defended Simo for a while now, but when you hear reports that the senior players want a fresh voice, it's hard to argue with that, isn't it? Is that what we heard, though? That's what's broken the last 24 hours or so. Yeah. Some of the senior players want a fresh voice by a report. Yes. Who were the text messages sent to? I didn't know if they were text messages, Tim. I think Tommy Morris reported that last night that the senior players might want a fresh voice. That's all I can tell you. But if it's got to that point, then it's hard to see the man staying in the job, isn't it? Even though he's got about 18 months left on his contract. I did like his comments when he said, you know, you're always going to have a few. And if you look at the list going forward, there's going to be two or three retire, five or six that we delist, blah, blah, blah, blah. So you're looking at 10 players that you're going to turn over anyway. And if you've got a small minority group who don't want him, they might be in the group that won't be there next year, anyway. But it is. So it happens. Come on. You've got one off the text here for you. The hard courts open line, Tim. Hi, Brent. Can you please ask Tim for his opinion on the chopping and changing of England wicket keepers in the test side? Does Tim McGree bend folks has been harshly treated for his constant selection and non-selection? In my opinion, he is the best pure gloveman in the world since Tim retired. Love the show, listing from Perth. Keep it up from Corey with a K. Yes, Corey. I don't think Ben folks has done a lot wrong. I think I agree. I think he's the best keeper in the world at the moment. I think the only thing I can see is the way he bats doesn't fit the way they want to play. I don't think he's got that sort of high octane, aggressive style of batting. That's not the way he's ever been. It's not to say that he can't do that. But I think that's probably something that's holding him back. The new guy that's coming in, obviously we know what Johnny Besto can do at his best. He's well-classed, particularly with the bat and can win games of cricket. The new guy coming in is a young fella from Surrey called Jamie Smith, who the way he bats is baseball. He smacks it. He's a big tall kid and he can play off the back foot. I think they're looking to the future. They're looking to what they think can win them an ashes in Australia, which is their next probably big series in 18 months' time. As I said, he plays the brand of cricket, which they, under Ben Stokes and Brendan McCollum are trying to play, which is really, really aggressive and try and throw opposition off their game. I think that's the way they go on, but has he been hard done by it? Potentially he has, but we'll see if it works out when they come out to Australia. So, should the AFL, what are you laughing at? Just a wrench. Bob, Bob, Bob, bro! For Renault! Should the AFL's free agency system be torn up if Josh Battle nets and killed a top five pick if he lives in season? Yes. Thanks. Something new, please. If you're getting picked five for Josh Battle, who's a good player? Does he pick five worthy, Tim? I don't think so. No. So, let's tear it up and do something new. Actually, we've just got a Texan here. Jalen, who we spoke about earlier, who kicked the 30 goals. Jalen Haywood. He's kicked 56 goals in the last three weeks. He needed 31 to get to his 100 goals for the year, sitting on 99 with four games to go, Tim. So, there you go. Thanks for whoever takes that in this morning. Amazing. Steve, we can get some footage when he's 100 comes through. I want him rushed, and I want people out on the ground picking him up on their shoulders. To me, shouldn't we count Jack McVane will magnate his honorary Tasmanian Olympian since they made the Boomers final time? No, I think we already counted them, Brenna, when they lived trophy. Absolutely. Not so long ago, I think anyone in that starting five and coaching staff who aren't Tasmanian at the Jack Jumpers were made honorary Tasmanians at the moment. That buzzer went in game five. Good. Yes, Tim. What do you make of Paul Ruse's comments on SCN breakfast yesterday? Colton's second team in the early eighties would beat North Melbourne right now, and here's exactly what he had to say. There's certainly a lot more depth, you know, and I don't know his life for you, Brandi, but there's a lot more depth in AFL. Like, we only had 12 teams. And, I guess, seconds teams. I say this. Colton's second team in the early eighties would beat North Melbourne right now. There's no question about that. Yeah, you had to play at a pretty high standard to keep getting a game, because some of the guys who were running around the seconds had played 50, 100, 150 games of AFL football. No, I don't think so. I think everybody's changed a bit since then, hasn't it, Tim? Let's be honest, I mean, they're professional players. Oh, I grew up a Fitzroy fan. Oh, no. He's getting another round here. This is a question, do they not you? Yeah, but you don't answer it. He said, "No, they wouldn't." But I would put something to you. If we went back to the early eighties, it would be more likely that North Melbourne's team now would beat Colton's senior team then. I agree. Of course they would. And I'm going off athletes right now. There's no way they would run with them. I mean, are we talking about it? Sports science. I know it's a hypothetical kind of thing that he's saying, but there's no chance. I'm sorry. The game has moved miles beyond 1980. Correct. Yeah. But I get what he's saying in terms of depth. And the eighties footy, where it was compared to what it is now for the same era, if that makes sense, but to suggest that the eighties team would beat a team right now, it's like saying that someone in the 1980 Olympics would beat Usain Bolt's sprint in 2010. SCN stadiums arrived in Tasmania and is available at Bluntston Arena and Utah Stadium for all AFL matches. That's this weekend, of course, with the Hawks and Froux in town at Utah Stadium. Listen to the SCN call with zero delay, no Wi-Fi required for the ultimate game day experience just go to the SCN app. We are off to our final break of the morning. Coming back to preview, the big clash between Australia and India at the Legends, whatever it's bloody called over there in the UK, which is taking us all by storm at the moment. That's right after this on SCN Tezi Breakfast. We're just about out of time after a reasonable size show. Tim, Breakfast Power Bike, we're taking any job with Kubota's range of tractors, males and utility vehicles approaching midnight in the woods. Straight to the bar for you after this, I'm sure. No, no, no, bed to night, big game here tomorrow, Bruno. Semi final, birth is beckoning if we can get a win, so proper warm up tomorrow, early night to night, or as early as I can, big break in, get out there and see how we go. A couple of times to India's though. What time's the game? Will that be tonight out of time? No, no, it'll be late tonight, your time is 4.30pm game. Bummer, yeah, I don't know if I'll get up for that. No, it might be worth it for you because I haven't got a great record against the Harbajan Singh. Harbajan's play? Yeah, and Stilban are right, Bruno, so you just don't like anyone that can spin it both ways and you can't really see it because you can be made look very, very stupid, so wait, see what happens. Okay, I look forward to that. That is it, who else they got, anyone else prominent? Yeah, they've got a few, the Pathans, Youssef and Irfan. They've got Suresh Rayna, RP Singh. They've got a pretty good team, actually, to be fair to them. Oh, very good. Mate, 2pm though, before that, what's coming up on the team? I thought, yeah, I don't think I've mentioned this. I was very proud of you getting the AFL boss on. Thank you. Yeah. Amish, Amish, make that call for you or did you pick big boy pants on and ring in yourself? Tim, big show today though from 2 o'clock, Cox Architecture's Principal Director, Alistair Richardson will be in the studio. I actually know, I'm going to be on the Zoom, but I'm going to get a nitty-gritty about the stadium with him and Minister Nick Street will join us as well. That's all coming up from 2 o'clock on the Devils. from Tour Cauliflower and the Devils. See you Friday, Tim. - Beautiful.
