Breakfast with Tim Payne and Brent Costello. Welcome to the show for a Monday morning note, Tim Payne, this morning of his Brent Costello, flying solo, painting is somewhere, I don't know, over... I don't know, actually, I actually don't know where he is, all I know is his wing, his way to London, and he should arrive there, I don't know, the next few hours or so. But an ideal replacement at the desk this morning, not for the whole show, just for the preamble, Hamish Spencer, our star producer, good morning, how are you? Good, thank you, Brent, about 10% of Payne's personality and 2% of his wage, so he could be on the show this morning. He's coming with a zinger, I don't mind that. I don't know where he is, he did say he may have Wi-Fi and we could potentially give him a call, but I just looked him a message in no response as yet, so we'll wait and see how we go with the great man, but he read me yesterday before flying out, actually, and was talking about the trip and how long it is, but he was actually looking forward to it because he believed he'd get upgraded to first class. Well, he talked to me as well about potentially running into the shine, he made the point all at the front of the plane, they have good Wi-Fi, so I don't think he has a concept of an economy seat or what it's like to be at the back of the plane with screaming kids, so I think he's only a business class, first class operator, but I think it's important to point out he was originally hopeful of potentially doing this show with his kit in Dubai Airport. I'll admit I had some reservations about because I wasn't sure how well he'd go to sitting in a business lounge as we've all his kit there, but I suddenly had the revelation that I should actually look to see if he will be at the airport by the time it lands. It turned out it's about five hours out when he was supposed to be here. Time management is not our man's thing, he just can't seem to get that side of his life sorted out. I did some digging hammer, how much do you think a first class ticket to London would be from Brisbane where he was flying out of? How much do you reckon that would cost the normal consumer if you were paying for it? Obviously he isn't. Well, as you point out he's not a normal citizen, but I'd have to think of getting you maybe into the low five figures potentially, I guess it depends on the airline. Yeah, well, yeah, cheapest I saw was British Airways, that was $12,829, but you're looking probably on average around $19,000 one-way Brisbane to London, which is extraordinary, but he was telling me he's going to have a shower on the plane, you get this first fine dining food, have a sleep obviously and a bed like he'd be absolutely loving that. So, thoughts with him this morning, not. How's your weekend anyway? Well, it was very good because I got to go to the Melbourne Mavericks game on Sunday, we were both working there, we'll talk about a bit more seriously, waiting the show during around the state and of course Mitch Carlson are from Netball tabs joining us, but I have to admit as a producer I was a bit worried this morning because towards the end of the game I'm glad to see you have a bottle of water, because the voice started to crack, sometimes we call each other to talk about the show, I thought better give the focal cords a rest because not even during the jack-jumpers game, have I heard the voice crack and you're lucky that Flash and Fiona were commentating otherwise that audio of the voice breaks, were definitely going in the preamble, but I couldn't isolate it, so I've had text in on the hardcore soap and line or let us know that if you heard Brent, but in all seriousness you did a good job and it was a fantastic atmosphere. Thanks, I was the quarter dancer/MC for those that weren't there and don't know, and it was a ripping night, the Mavs have got big jack-jumpers vibes, and they obviously a new club starting fresh, and the wind was awesome, like winning in the dying moments, the crowd erupted didn't they, it was awesome, and I'll tell you what, this is still going around in my head, this is the Mavs team song, just play a bit for us if you don't mind. That was wringing around in my head all day yesterday, and still was this morning, it was a very catchy tune, and the girls just get up and about for it, don't they, after the game, they've never seen bigger celebrators in the Mavs, I love it. Absolutely, well I've been interested to ask that my state Bankarena staff how their celebrations compared to the jack-jumpers because I saw a few water bottles flying around, they also seem to like the song "All We Do" is "When", I've heard that on the podcast a couple of times and they were celebrating, but I think the big question after Friday's show when you ask them about the theme song is, have you looked up what a baddie is yet because... Well, dude, it's a bad guy, isn't it, or a bad girl? Well, I think it's more like a baddie, it's more like if you're good or very good at something or will admit I'm not well-first with the definition, but certainly they seem to get around it with their singing, and something that was to see, that I reckon about a quarter of the crowd was just parked around the court afterwards. Yeah, it was. Yeah, it was. Yeah, it was. More of a brass when high demand. Absolutely. If you're at the Mavs game on Saturday night, let us know what you thought on the Harkorts Open Line this morning, 0437, 552535. Oh, give me a call, please. Ring in and have a chat, 1342, 1533 Harkorts, more than just real estate professionals. Now, you wanted to bring something to the table this morning, or is that it? No, I actually do have something. Out of interest, and probably a long shot, but obviously in the media world, it can be very connected. Do you have a previous beef with Thomas Mitchell at all, the culture reporter at the age and Sydney Morning Herald? Oh, no. Not the Collinwood creme-shit play and form a brown-low medalist, but have you heard of Thomas Mitchell? I haven't, why? Well, I was just going through X, and sometimes I was aware I might get the call up today. I was thinking what material I can have, and thankfully this landed in my lap. It was an opinion piece. On me? Well, something's concerning you because the title is, "You can't order hot chocolate as an adult, and love our unspoken coffee rules." Right. I have to say, it's a pretty scamming takedown of people who drink hot chocolate. I'll put my hand up as a fellow non-coffee drinker, but I usually go the glass of water, which not only gets weird stares from the person on our way, but also an evil glare, I think, from the waiter there, because I think you're just trying to get taken advantage of the free water. But basically he goes into this article and he talks about an experience with a cobbly, and he says, "After ordering my regular normal drink, a large, sweet, flat white, my colleague asked, can I get a hot chocolate?" I say, "Can you, yes, should you? Absolutely not." Yeah, I've never had coffee, and I don't feel the urge to. People do need it, don't they, to get themselves up and about for a day, typically. But I've never had that urge, and I do like a hot chocolate hammer. I'm not embarrassed to admit that. A lot of people do. If you like a hot chocolate, if you like a hot chocolate over a coffee, let me know. Harcourt's open line this morning, 0-4-3-7-5-2-5-3-5. I know I'm in the minority, but I think there's a few out there like me, Hamish. Well, not according to Thomas Mitchell, he says, "Having a hot chocolate does make you a bad person." Goodness me. And he says that basically you're admitting that if you're having a hot chocolate, you're enjoying a little treat during office time. I will admit that. Thomas, I do enjoy a hot chocolate. I don't drink them regularly. But I have to say, you must really hate this colleague of his. There's an opinion basis based around just the innocent colleague ordering a hot chocolate. Yeah, that's stiff. That's stiff. I've never done that to you, I need to say that whenever you've wanted a hot chocolate, I've happily accepted it. So thankfully, I'm not Thomas Mitchell. No, goodness me. Thomas, I'm going to have to give Thomas some feedback. Hey, early texting here on the Harcourt's open line from David of Launceston. After North Launceston demolished Kingbra on Saturday, do you think anyone can beat them in Season 2024? I don't. I actually don't. I mean, maybe they'll lose a game better. I think they'll lose the premiership. They'll win it comfortably, I think, at the moment. Well, I think the most concerning thing is I'd say the two Southern teams who are next in line, in terms of contendership, are Clarence and then probably a little below them, lauded down both times they've played. They've absolutely smashed them. So at the moment, it looks like daylight or you can think of as maybe an upset on the day or if they get a few unlucky injuries. And of course, it'll be at this stage in Launceston to the Grand Final. So they'll have home ground advantage to the bombers unless something goes drastically wrong. So no, I think North Launceston very hard to beat David. Now, I had a bit of a dilemma this morning, Hammer. You might have noticed I was slightly late. I'm normally here around the 630 mark. Probably wasn't here till 640 this morning. I had to get an Uber this morning because my car is getting fixed at the moment. So I've called the Uber. I've jumped in and I've got probably 250 meters down the road and I've gone, "Oh, mate, I'm so sorry. I've left my keys at home." Do you mind if we turn back? And typically, if you're in a cab, that would be okay because the meet is still running. But Uber obviously give you the price before you get in. So is that good etiquette or not? Do you think? Because I felt bad that he had to turn around. Obviously tipped him at the end. A nice tip. But is that okay to do that, do you think? I think so. You said it was only a street or so. Yeah, it was. It would be a bit different if you were on the high lane, so I forgot. But no, I think it's fair enough. No, your personality would have been very apologetic about it. I reckon it's Tim Painter to happen. Get me back to my home right now. Yeah, he would have been the goofed. Hey, before we wind up the preamble, I just want to look at the AFL ladder with you. Because it is quite extraordinary what I'm looking at at the moment. So sitting well on top, obviously, on 52 points. Carlton, second, 44. Then from third down to 13th hammer, three manals on 38 and Hawthorne in 13th on 32. So we've got six points separating third versus 13th on the ladder. It is unbelievably tight at the moment. Absolutely. It's an interesting ladder because, obviously, at the top, you have Sydney, even though they suffered a loss, that the dock is still, I reckon, a few steps above everybody else in terms of their form. Carlton look a level above down the bottom. You have West Coast and North Melbourne. To be fair to the rules, they do look more competitive, but pretty much every team between there. Few people said a couple of times, but this leads and you can't rock up to a game expecting when regardless of the ladder position and probably the weekend's game, shacked it up a bit more with that Dockers upset, sons taking down the Pides and even Jelon, who left out on the brakes. I'm going to go through each team here. I want to yes or no if they can win the flag. Okay. Sydney? Yes, absolutely. Carlton? Yes. Fremantle? I'll say yes. I like the midfield. Essendon? No. Jelon? No. Collingwood? Yes. No. Brisbane? Yes. They're innate at the moment. Bulldogs? No. But I think they could make a deep running thing go right, but not win a premiership. GWS? I got to say no at the moment. I think their form, I thought initially was a just kind of speed bump and I thought they might have corrected there after getting that great win against Port Adelaide, but the last two weeks have been pretty concerning, especially loosing to the cries even away. Yeah, they shouldn't be loosing that. Gold Coast? No, they can't win away from home, but they should make finals in my opinion from here. Melbourne? No, without Petraka too hard. And Hawthorne? No, but if they make the finals, oh gee, I reckon they're a team you wouldn't want to call up even if they're seven for eight because just so young, no fear, they could certainly create a few headaches. I want to look at our top eights maybe on Friday and see how we're tracking because mine doesn't look great. I don't think from memory, but we'll see how we go. Hey, we've got a massive show this morning on SCN, Tazzy Breakfast. Lots of guests joining me here in the studio. Sports business to Nick Street, it would be great to see how Nick's going and talk all things sport with him. SCN's own, Jerrod Whiteley will join me for a chat too. Lots of things going on in the wide world of sport at the moment, so we'll talk to Jerrod about everything that's happening. He's off to the Olympic soon, so it'd be good to get his take on what he thinks will happen over in Paris. Nepal, Tasmania, CEO, Mitch Colson, after the big night at my state bank arena on Saturday with the Mavericks taking on the lightning, and new Tazzy men's rep coach, Kingbra's and Trent Bournemouth will join us as well after their unfortunate loss up in Launceston on the weekend. Mattie Reed will join us as well from Taz Racing. So Tim Payne may not be here, but we've got an absolutely heaving show for you this morning. Harcourt's open line is open for you, text me in, 0437-552535, or give me a call, 1342-1533. Harcourt's more than just real estate professionals, it's breakfast powered by a kaboda, take on any job with kaboda's range of tractors, mowers and utility vehicles. Right after this we go around the state. Yes, 71-7838 seconds on the clock, the Mavericks with the centre pass, now with Cardwell. Sinclair, they have to retreat, they've been patient, 26 on the clock. Sinclair gets in a position, Cardwell with some body work, contact now against double contact here against the Lightning, and Sinclair, a two point opportunity, got it! 72-71 with seven seconds on the clock. Fettwell with an opportunity to win it here for the Lightning, with four seconds on the clock. She shoots, no! The maps win it by one, 72-71, Sinclair, came on in the court rate, Tracey Neville with the big move, and the Mav's escape with the victory again by one point against the Lightning. That's the voice of David Flashlithgo and Fiona Gopin doing a great job calling the Mav's big win for us on SCN on Saturday night. Sports update thanks to United Forklift and access solutions, nothing beats a cat forklift only from United Forklifts. The Melbourne Mavericks pulled off an unlikely victory in their first ever game in Hobart on Saturday after trailing for most of the match. The Mavericks rallied in the last during the Super 5 to defeat the Sunshine Coast Lightning by one goal, and keep their finals hopes alive. Gabby Sinclair was the hero after hitting two super shots in the final minute despite only touching the court for the first time late in that term, Shimona Gok, who shot a near-perfect 42 out of 43, had this to say on the SCN netball broadcast post-game. Did you like sitting down the last couple of minutes? It was amazing. Your coach just made the moves and it worked. Yeah, 100% did, but I think being on the side, I was just so anxious, but there was not one doubt at all in my nerves or anger or anything, but I just felt like we could have pulled that through. Like, we played today, like, part of our sleeves, like, we were really hungry for this one, I think that's what actually showed in every single quarter we didn't take off that pedal, and I think that's what got us through to the last whistle. There was no doubt in our solo whatsoever, we were just going to let this one go. Like, we, I know from last week games we were not, like, we were not accepted that at all. I think we went back to training and we just drilled ourselves out over that once we stepped over that line, we're going to execute it to the last whistle, I think, today. That's a great show of what we actually yelled and trained in non-stop and we were on top of each other, kept each other accountable, and today speaks for itself. You're hearing high bars at the top of nine degrees today, back home from where you're from, it's peak, peak time of the year, back home in Jamaica, you're up, and you enjoy the routine. Oh, 100% like, whenever I come to class. You love everything now, I can tell. I 100% like, I feel like the weather here is so refreshing, like, it's a good way to put it. It is. It is. It's like, I've never thought it here would have been this hard, but, if you're not, I liked it. Of course, I struck you in the warm up, I was like, you know what, that's behind me. We need to win this game. And I feel like, you know, being here, it feels like home away from home. And I think, like, today we just really nailed it and we just wanted to give the crowd up and be like, this is for you, you know, like, we grind, we went out there and I'm just so happy. There was Shimona Gocks, speaking to Sien, Tazzy, post game. Earlier in the day, the Tasmania Wild took on the Mavericks Reserve side with the Mavs coming out on top 60 goals to 43. That switch goes to 40 down some really sad news breaking on Friday that Tasmanian football community is mourning the loss of Des James after the Trailblazer passed away at the age of 71 last week. Arguably, Tasmania's greatest indigenous player, the Defender 1-3, TFL, Premisehips with Sandy Bay, represented the state 24 times and an all Australian jumper in 1979 and was shortlisted for the indigenous team of the century. Known for his skills, speed and sportsmanship on the field, James is also the younger brother of VFL, umpire and great Glen James and, of course, and Kalinan's father-in-war. He was made a legend in the Tasmanian football hall of fame where Chris Fagan and Noel Leary had this to say about him for AFL Tasmania. Des came here under a sort of a highly recommended by a previous Sandy Bay coach, Gordon Bowman. And when he first started, he played on the wing, I believe, but never really found his position until the following year when he was shifted back to the back climb and that's when he really blossomed and became a great player. Des James, he was the hardest opponent I ever had. He played for Sandy Bay, he played in the back pocket. I think he was an all Australian at some stage. Not only did he make the TFL sides and the Tasmanian sides, he played well in the games that they played and that's what set him aside and that's why he was selected in the all Australian side. He was a very fair player but a hard luck to play against. He used to frustrate me because particularly when I played in the full pocket, he just had this amazing ability, you'd think you'd get to the ball first and this year was you about to mark it, he would jump in front of you and take the mark or he'd jump in front of you and pick up the ball. Outstanding player and a really good bloke, like I got to know him a little bit playing in Tasmanian sides, he was a bit older than me but we'd go away on those trips and he'd sort of take me under his wing and we'd go out after games together and have a bit of fun so I love Jamesy. That was Chris Fager to know, Leary speaking about Des James, who he sadly lost on late last week at the age of 71 in thoughts with the James family on their loss. Let's go to the TSL now, North Hobart was the story of the round after it defeated Launceston by nine points to secure its first senior win of the season, a big congratulations to Brad Tilbury who, Hamish, is the brother in law of our man Tim Payne. The demons development lead coach played his 150th for the club and was recognised as a North Hobart player, life member elsewhere, the league's two heavyweights North Launceston and Clarence came away with wins against Kingborough and Glenorkey respectively and are reminded Trent Bournemouth, not too far away from joining me here in the studio to talk about TSL and of course his new role as state rep coach. Congratulations to to Richmond Skipper and three time premiership player Toby Nancurvers who played his 150th AFL game yesterday. He joins us. No, he doesn't join us this morning, unfortunately it would be nice to have a thank on the show. The Australian boomers training camp has officially started over in Melbourne. Friend of the show and ESPN basketball insider Olga Nulich described the training so far as ultra physical and unbelievably competitive in his piece on Friday. Jack Dumpers grand final MVP Jack McVay has reportedly been one of the most impressive players so far. Ulich wrote he is widely regarded as someone who's maybe helped himself this far in camp and when speaking to people around the program McVay's name comes up a lot so we'll keep an eye on how Jackie Boy goes over there at training camp. Cranwell Tasmanian athlete of the year and Commonwealth Games gold medalist Georgia Baker is heading to the third Olympics after being selected in Australia's cycling track team. Fellow Tasmanians Josh Duffy and Felicity Wilson Haffndon unfortunately missed out. Just quickly to an NBA one over the weekend a good weekend for the Hobart Chargers men's and women's team so both picked up two wins against Kill Scythe and Diamond Valley. It was tougher going for the Torns after they suffered two losses and a mixed weekend for the Thunder they had strong wins against the Eagles at home on Friday but lost to the Cobras in overtime the following night and an NPL soccer dramatic and wet top of the table clash between South Hobart and Devon Port at Darcy Street yesterday which ended in a two all draw numerous yellow cards were given out and strikers coach Tom Ballantime was given a red in the first half. It was a good result for the Gunoki Knights after they recorded a seven three win over Kingberry in a lack of Cup final rematch there's now just three points between South Hobart Devon Port and Glenalke at the top of the NPL table what a run home we've got in the NPL and in the women's Super League the King Reliance made it five wins in a row with a four-nil victory over Glenalke while the Devon Port strikers are now six points clear on top after their two new win against South Hobart that is an update thanks to United and Falkliff's end of financial use which is now on secure at Cat Falkliff for only $27,990 plus GST. Harcourt's open line is up and about this morning a lot this one in from Sean Hamish Sean from Launceston says coffee in the bin hot chocolate for the win thank you Sean like your work you can get us on the Harcourt's open line as well 0 4 3 7 double 5 2 5 3 5 or call us 1342 1533 we're off to the news headlines coming back with Snapper Reid from Taz Racing right after this racing is a way of life visit it's wileerace.com.au joining me in the studio now is Maddie Reid from Taz Racing get a snapper warning pranay we got the Hawks burning on we said we weren't going to talk footy but well done it is cold outside yeah I didn't need that as well yeah we continue to roll the Hawks along this week down at Geelong emotionally it's the the biggest game on the calendar for me brain I hate you along with every bone in my body so heading down the cadine park with the final spot still hanging in the balance it's a big game I feel like you deserve to be higher than the third ain't it the moment but we talked about how tight the latter is off the top of the show it's extraordinary is only six points between third and third ain't like say you're not far off the pace no exactly I mean you start on five you're you're a long way behind but particularly that port Adelaide game that we bottled a few weeks ago come back to hoardness and we had a chance to beat Collingwood as well so it's pretty tight I want we're essentially two games behind those in front of us with our rubbish percentage but got a little push to that yeah exactly exactly alright to harness racing the countdown to the bow tide heated up this weekend with two of the main players scoring impressive wins so talk about talk to us about that yeah there's a lot of conditions around the boner tide in terms of eligibility but being Tasmanian bread is one of them so fighter command is a a pacer that's trained outside of the state but is eligible to win the bow tide and won very impressively at Melton in Victoria on Thursday night and closer to home Niaq was dominant winning last night he went around a really short price for Todd Ratray we've spoken about him before so those two are probably the headline acts to go he's also towards the head of the market but last time we saw him race he wasn't sort of near his best so we're wanting to see whether he'll come back and throw his hat into the ring but it's only a month away now the bow tide so that's kinda all roads leading there from a harness perspective and should mention that I didn't touch her on Friday but Jacob Duggan yeah yeah young 18 year old he is and he's a really good story he's a hard worker he's father Adrian dabbles across two codes harness and thoroughbreds Jacob does as well he rides track work for CE car he drives the paces and now he's got his training license so he had his first runner in Hobart last night didn't place and went around at about fourteen dollars but it's great to see someone investing so heavily in the industry and looking to forge a career and doing a great job do you see many people dabbles across both harnesses yeah you do for sure and even the greyhounds whether it's just ownership or helping out if you kind of commit your life into racing then there is time and opportunities and especially having the expertise dealing with animals as well so it does happen quite a bit let's talk about Gallup's seven of the eight races in Devonport were won by female jockeys which which is awesome doubles to Chloe Wells and Cody Jordan the only froggy knew it landed a blow for the males in Devon to speak about and far as the training premiership goes Johnny blacker had one winner but yeah Chloe Wells she's had a tough season but a race to race double for her yesterday she got some good opportunities that were in the market and Cody Jordan she's probably too far back to closing on Anthony Darman and for the jockeys premiership but she had a double as well at really big prices I think the first winner was twenty to one and the last one about thirty to one so gee good luck if you got the double and tonight greyhounds in Lonnie heats of the Tazzy Oaks coming up well I can't tip a winner Brenna so I always put the feelers out to my man Brennan and ask if he's got a tip but yeah two heats of the Tazzy Oaks tonight W will be a straight final next week he's given me race two Raiders guide who of course went on Thursday night it'll be short race five phrase your price and race six winburn blondie okay we'll write those down in our little black book thanks coming in today over a hundred ten thousand people attend Tasmanian race meetings every year racing is a way of life is at it's while we race.com.au you win some you lose more for friend confidential support visit gambling help online.org.au you've just offered yourself up as a guest co-host if Tim's away I don't mind that shout you perform well yeah I think my little segment here yeah I can I can do my best Brenna probably not up to the standard of you and Paney but I could be molded so you know you're footy you're like a cricket obviously and racing and basketball you're across it also I don't mind the shout we'll run it up the ladder hammer and see what they think on the main layer but thanks coming in this morning good to see mate we'll see you Friday matey Reed from Taz racing joining us here off to a break coming back to check catch up with Trent Bournemouth coach of Kingbra and the Tasmanian Rep side that's next you're on S.E.N. Tazee breakfast. Paney Tech's coming in on the Harkorts open line had a few for Minister Street who will join me after eight o'clock so if you've got one as well 0 4 3 7 double 5 2 5 3 5 I might have a question for Jared Wightley who will join the show as well on Mitch Colston from netball Tasmania give us a call as well 1342 15 33 Harkorts results for you but Tom to talk some footy now here on S.E.N. Tazee breakfast joining me in the studio is the new coach of Tasmania's Rep Team Trent Bournemouth and I'll see you Trent. Morning Brent thanks for having me in it's a little bit intimidating sitting in this chair I don't know if this is the great man's chair but um we'll try and do the best we can. No I jumped in that as soon as he left so you're in my chair so you're safe for there Hey congratulations you're the new coach of Tasmania and the Rep Team and a big game coming up between Sydney and Canberra side in a couple of weeks time how do you feel about taking on the big job? Yeah it's um yeah it's a massive honour to start with yeah it was a bit of an interesting day on Friday yeah phones started going hot in the morning and yeah and then speaking to Kieran Laval a little bit later on in the day I sort of said to him I think I've done my 10,000 steps today walking up and down the hallway either on the phone or trying to process what had happened but yeah massive massive honour and I'm really looking forward to carrying on what Aaron's put in place as well and yeah working with the best players in the state which is awesome. For those who haven't caught up with the news Aaron Cornelius stepping down for personal and family reasons which is open the door for you Trent B you're up there obviously in your role as an assistant against Queensland a couple of weeks ago now what was that experience like first of all? Yeah it was amazing it was awesome how the group really bonded together and we're able to play a really dynamic game style as well especially with the ball in hand but also still having that tazzy hard contested physical edge when we needed to as well so inside and outside the contest it was yeah it was a really strong performance as the score board as the final score board shows and yeah really pleasing how the group came together and now we've set that foundation we've got an opportunity to go on with it into a second game now. What's it look personnel wise because obviously a winner it's hard to change a winning team but you're playing in a different ground against a different opposition do you know much about who you're coming up against and will the side change too much do you think? Yeah we're starting to go to work a little bit on what New South Wales ACT look like in terms of some of their key personnel and who will be playing for them so through some of our contacts they're starting to get that better down just more so what their key players look like and their strengths and capabilities and yeah for us as you said it is hard to sort of change that winning lineup but yeah they'll certainly be opportunities for guys within the squad and potentially outside of the squad who have good form in the TSL and the other competitions to put their hand up to be involved you know we'll have our first selection match committee meeting tonight which is chaired by Nick Probert so it's always been a really strong process which to put the team in place so yeah we'll pick the best team available to yeah try and get another win for Tasmania. We'll talk more about your role with the Tigers in a minute but to have to juggle both now obviously TSL coaching and state rep coaching how's that going to make your life a little bit busier? Yeah it's going to be pretty hectic for the next three weeks which yeah which is good though so to have that have a new challenge and have something else to look at but the great thing about the state program is so much of it in terms of our game style and all those sorts of things are already bedded down what training looks like the way that we want to play so it's not so much changing anything we'll refine a couple things you know we'll continue on with our our themes of what it means to play for Tasmania and to wear the maps so that's a really important part of that and yeah time management will become pretty crucial for me over the next sort of month. Absolutely and so much opportunity to come isn't there if you do a good job here and you've done that too so obviously we're in the the premiership last year there's so much opportunity coming up from a TASI perspective isn't there? Yeah absolutely and yeah it's fantastic to have a foot in the door and yeah I'm very respectful and humbled by this opportunity and yeah I'll certainly do the best job that I can with a great support I've got around me in in assisting coaches with Adrian Smith coming into the fold Peter Ryan from Clarence Kurt Byard up from the Northwest Coast and Mitch Hills from Launceston as well so it'll be a real team effort but yeah it's opportunity there's exciting things going on in TASI footy in the future and yeah to have an opportunity now to coach the TASI rep side and see how that goes yeah let's do the best job that I can. What's training look like over the next few weeks to have regional trainings before coming together as one that week of the game or what's it actually look like? It'll be a mixture of both so tomorrow night we'll be up at Utah's together and that'll be more of a sort of bit of a review of the Queensland game, a bit of sort of recovery/craft stuff so we can spend some more time in our line groups and guys get to spend time with their line coaches then we'll come together next week at KG5 next Wednesday for a full squad session and then the following week we'll have some regional recovery in another full squad session at Campbelltown at this stage on the Wednesday leading into the Friday of the Saturday game against New South Wales ACT. I'm just having these games in this room as we might have some more next year which is exciting as well but it's great that these players can go to another level isn't it outside of the TASI. Yeah and with the hopeful expansion of it and I believe there are some announcements to come around that in the next couple weeks I think it also gives us the opportunity to keep the best players in the state playing in the strong Premier League competitions in whatever region they're in with the look of the VFL team the following year to if we can keep as many of those players that are going to form that first VFL list in Tasmania for next year and playing and training together with more rep footy and strong programs at regional level and only bodes well for our entry into the VFL. Trent Bommel of the new Tasmania footy coach is joining me in the studio on SC and TASI breakfast he also coaches the King Brittagas in the TASI. Tough weekend on the road Trent up there in Launceston against the bombers. Can anyone beat him? Are you a chance to beat him before? Would you play him again before finals or is that one more time? Yeah okay so how do you beat North Launceston? Obviously they've just unstoppable this season did it in the Grand Final last year obviously but can you do it again this season do you think? Yeah I think absolutely in any competition anywhere in any sport anyone's beatable on any given day so they have some clearly identifiable strengths they're explosive with the ball in hand the week before against Clarence their pressure was off the charts as well and they've got really dangerous small forwards with Brandon Leary, Harvey Griffiths those guys who are who are doing a lot of damage on the scoreboards so yeah they're a complete package and yeah all of us will have our work cut out for us to try and beat them but yeah everyone will be giving it a crack and yeah it's still sort of a wide open race once you get to finals it's a new season and everything starts afresh and we're all on zero points and zero wins and losses when we get to that stage yeah once you just got to get there don't you really give yourself a chance and anything can happen as you say that has been a bit of a disruptive disruptive season for your team though hasn't it you had players coming in and out which doesn't help for you as a coach I guess yeah the thing I think the strength of our group over the last two years has been you know a lot of consistency and that's been our sort of competitive advantage of similar line-ups guys having clarity in their roles and knowing how to play them as a team but and yeah that's been a little bit disjointed this year for us but it's also a good challenge for us and our leaders to try and work through that and integrate some of the next generation as well you know we've been able to give a lot of young guys their first opportunity to play senior footy so yeah and we'll our aim always as it is is to play our best footy at the end of the year when it matters most and yeah we're sort of we're challenging ourselves and on that journey at the moment we're sort of not near that yet but yeah we've still got plenty of time to get there how do you feel about the TSL winding up obviously it's a competition close to your heart you've been involved with it for many many years now it'll wind up at the end of the season to go back to original footy and have those extra rep games potentially but yeah do you feel sad that it's coming to an end yeah it's an interesting one it's sort of bittersweet and yeah it's been a competition that we've all invested a lot of time into but you know we're going to move to the regional models with the Premier Leagues and hopefully you know our programs don't look too dissimilar in terms of the environments that we are able to provide for our young men yeah the extra represent representative football is also a carrot as well so that we have to keep our programs at a high level yeah but also as well you know you like to be able to see Kieran level play against Bragg Cox good year and all those sorts of things but unfortunately that that's not going to happen now but hopefully they get to be teammates in representative footy and we're still able to have that connection across the state as well well big few weeks ahead mate for you it's exciting it's another rep footy game for 2024 which we're all looking forward to Utah Stadium July 20 Tasmania taken on a Sydney Canberra combined side but it's all the best mate with a new role and good luck with the targets for the rest of the season and thanks for joining us on Essie and Tazzie Brecky cheers thank you appreciate it Brent Trent Bournley in the studio we are off to our final break of the hour it is breakfast powered by Kubota take on any job with Kubota's range of tractors, mowers and utility vehicles. Harcourt's open line, Harcourt's results for you, Texas in 0 4 3 7 5 2 5 3 5. There's a text in here on the Harcourt's open line says good morning Penny or Penny's not here unfortunately but I'll still read it out because it's very funny that was me that gave old splinters a wave in Hopkins Street last week upon doing so I wish that I didn't as it looked like he moved took offense to migrating and upset him in doing so maybe he was just having a bad day if I did upset you Brent I do apologize Greg in new town in Brackett's council work in Hive is sorry it took so long to text in I've been offline cruising and have been binging Essie and Tazzie upon my return after hearing AJ and splinters last Friday I felt I must text in well Greg I loved it I just he took me by surprise that was all and I thought I heard what you said but I wasn't sure so if that that's probably why I looked a little bit confused but no I always like being caught out to from across the street so anytime you like that it'll be great hey you can text in just like Greg has on the hardcore time in my life oh four three seven double five two five three five I'll give us a call thirteen hundred forty two fifteen thirty three great to have Trent Bournemouth in the studio he's got a big few weeks ahead as coach of Tasmania's rep so we've got lots of big-game guests to come in an hour to this morning though Jared Waitley of course the number one media man in Australia is joining us we'll talk all things sport including the Olympic Games which Jared is off to shortly to work for channel nine can't wait to talk to Jared soon Mitch Coulson will join me as well he's had a big week with the mighty Mavericks in town he's an airport Tasmania CEO of course and to wind up the show sports minister Nick Street will be my special guest here in the studio as well but now we're off to new sport and weather no Tim Payne this morning unfortunately he's currently flying to London to play some cricket but that hasn't stopped the big name guests from rolling in and it's my pleasure to welcome back to scn tazzy breakfast scn zone Jared Waitley g'day Jared thanks for joining me brand hello what cricket is he playing it's a it's a washed up players like Jared I think it's some something over there I'm not quite sure I'm not sure he might just be on a holiday might just be telling us this but yeah he's not here unfortunately but we're actually enjoying the peace and quiet Hamish and I'm all producers so it's okay hey yeah gee we've got an exciting time in the AFL at the moment looking at the latter this morning third to 13th six points separating all those teams it is extraordinary isn't it incredibly tumultuous and not quite sure I can remember a season like it so Brisbane are in the eight for the first time this season and the Giants are out for the first time you don't have to cast your mind too far back to when the Giants made a mess of Brisbane and you couldn't have believed this would be their trajectories you look at a team like the Bulldogs who are the right side of the ledger for the first time and Hawthorne who might be the league's hot hand they're both on the outside looking in Melbourne might have played their best game of the season but they're 12th Essendon hard to know exactly how to pitch that conversation given the given the umpiring on on Saturday night free mantles inside the top four they had the win to lift the horizon and this one's not as unbeatable as was forecast and and the sons is that was that was a defining night for them against Collinwood to end up winning from behind after surrendering a big lead so the margins are just incredibly narrow the volatility of it the volatility of it is going to be extreme and if you want to make absolute statements you're going to be proven wrong week to week at the moment absolutely so in saying that as we sit here this morning who's your premiership favorite well so I've got Carlton as my one seed and and Sydney is the premiership favorite so that's I watched Carlton yesterday and the burst that they turned in in the middle of winter at the MCG in the third quarter that's formidable the swans are a couple of games clear on top of the table so they've been the best team sustained and the grand final will be played at the the MCG so that that will be the bar that the swans have to make sure they get that far so that they're the two and then it's connoisseurs choices to what you like from there absolutely hey yeah as someone who was strong in in your defensive Ken Hinckley after he was booed what did you make of his emotional post game interview with Fox footy after yesterday's game it's a window into the toll that it all takes and so it's easy from the outside to be to be bomb throwers and torch bearers but those at the Colface are fighting the fight as Port Adelaide are still very viable you wouldn't want your man in charge giving up at this stage the way some of the supporter base has so they were they were very ordinary yesterday and fell across the line really it would have been it's not hard to imagine what this morning would have been had they lost but you want your guy fighting for all these worth and he is and he's got his team doing that they're striving to be better than they are and right now they're a pretty plain commodity but they got the win to keep themselves nestled in the eight and with a stiller shot at the top four so it keeps the walls from the door just briefly no more than that but I thought it was it telling the inside into the toll that it all takes absolutely hey there's a lot spoken about umpires and rules but do you feel like it's been heightened a little bit this year there was a lot of people unhappy with how Essendon and Carlton was officiate sorry Essendon and Carlton were officiated on the weekend yeah so the Essendon community is up in arms and they have a right to be on a handful of decisions from the third quarter how much of that excuses a 45 point defeat I think that I think that's an interesting debate we do this is true across international sports so it's not an air-filled phenomenon but the tolerance for refereeing and for umpiring is that is that an all-time low and the instant belief that the umpire is wrong in every instance is there I think they're wrong in a few instances on Saturday night I could make the case that the umpiring in the Port Adelaide St Kilda game was worse than what happened in the Essendon jillong game but bombers fans won't want to hear that and there is a there's a much broader conversation to be had around what the what the game needs from its umpires and what the best way to service it is that that won't happen in season and it'll be hard to sort of get any rational buying around that but I do think it's a big off-season project and whether that's I think it starts with the the laws and then the interpretations the implementation and then what the umpires are doing themselves I think it would be absolutely worthwhile to delve in deep in the off-season there let's go to some Tazzy stuff because there's a lot of talk about the Tazzy coaching job recently and and the people that should be in contention do you have an opinion on who you'd like to see and what sort of coach Tazzy should approach not really I think they'll want one of the best coaches and one of the more experienced coaches I think and it'll be I think it'll be a very attractive job but 2028 is still a long way away and Brendan Gail is not in the chair yet so my guess would be that once Brendan gets in the chair he would then take aim at at the GM of footy role that could very well be a figure like Chris Fagan or Ken Hinckley should they be interested in it and should they believe that that marries up with where the natural end of their coaching days would be and then you find a figure after that so yeah I'm I would be all in for Chris Scott as Nathan Buckley makes a lot of sense but it doesn't begin in there either I think it'd be I think it'd be a fantastic job to take up so you have to take aim at the coaches who might be near in the end of the run and hopefully a successful run at the clubs that they've been at or maybe you know in in a gap year so I my gut feeling is if Buckley coaches again it'll be before Tasmania it'll probably be sooner rather than later if he's still on the open market then there's you have to make the assessment of how many years has he been out and how many years would you like him in the job before they play their first game so yeah I actually I think it's a fertile market for Tassie but I wouldn't be rushing to a decision in July 2024 for a first game in in March 2028 yeah that's it that's really interesting because you sit across the desk from Bucks each each Tuesday so yeah you think he might be back in the business before then I hope he does that's I enjoy my conversations with him enormously and always have done but he's a coach through and through I hope he does it again and I think once he decides that he is open to it I think there'll be offers there'll be offers immediately so that's for him to get to that point but yeah there's there's going to be job vacancies in 2025 26 27 before Tasmania even becomes a real thought so my gut feeling this if he wants to return to coaching he'll be well in a job before before Tasmania starts got a text in here on the heart courts open line for you Jared from Nick one of our our regular contributors here on the show and he wants to know do you like the idea of Gary Abilott's senior being inducted as a legend of the Hall of Fame on the same night Gary Abilott junior enters the Hall of Fame in brackets 2026 possibly the only chance that senior would go and possibly the only time you could have a unique combination like that occur yeah I love the romance of it I'm a I'm a bit of a no on that so I try to be careful I don't have any influence in the Hall of Fame but but I am obviously part of the night but the Hall of Fame has never meant anything to Gary Abilott senior he's never been he wasn't there when he was first inducted I think it all mean a lot to his son and the Gary Abilott senior conversation is is very complicated separate to football so I don't see him as a legend of the game for a few reasons but there's an obvious romance to that moment yes. Jared Waitley is my special guest on S.E. and Tassie breakfast this morning just back to the devil's. Jared what do you think about the list build and when it comes to draft picks and things like that obviously GWS and Gold Coast were pretty well compensated when they were building their list do you think the same thing will happen with Tasmania there's a bit of talk it won't but how do you see it being fair for all I think there'll be a blend I think the lessons of the sons and the Giants should be well heated as you need your collection of young talent you need players in their in their primes in their mid 20s and I I would hope that the rules around recruiting and that are confected to allow them to be able to do that and then to compensate richly the clubs that they're taking players from and then you need established veterans to be able to lead and show the way so I would hope that we don't bring in another team that's got no prospect of winning games for the first two seasons I think there's clearly a better way to do that and you stock with picks that that must be traded which sort of hypercharges what can happen in the middle of the competition if you're able to pick out talented players in their 20s and those teams are getting new high draft picks to use I think that's a good stimulus for the competition so yeah I would hope that the lessons have been well heated and we don't do what we have the cautionary towers are pretty fresh as we shouldn't be bringing a team in that has no prospect of winning games in its first couple of seasons so that that would be my guiding principle on the laws that are put in place now very big month for you coming up and another text in here on the hardcore type and line says hi Brent can you ask Jared his best ever Olympics moment and about his upcoming commentary stint that's from Robin Hobart yeah so my favorite the favorite moment that I've called is Kyle Chalmers won the 100 meters freestyle in Rio which has been a jinx event for Australia and Chalmers was a teenager who was a virtual unknown heading into the rounds he had a storming victory from last in a semi-final which just sort of piqued the interest to go okay so what's Australia got here at the halfway mark of that final he was in seventh place and his father was in the stands we spoke to him afterwards and he said his single crystallising thought was just don't finish last and in the next 25 seconds Kyle Chalmers swum his way into folklore and to become a household name and that encapsulated everything that the Olympics can be for me youngster roars onto the scene Australia falls in love with him instantly and then his career grows from there plus it was absolutely thrilling so rarely do you see that in the pool in an Olympic final so that's my standout moment there and yes I'm deep in preparation now to to call the track for channel nine which I feel incredibly fortunate to have been put on loan by by SCM and Fox to be able to do that it's an incredible honour it's a little bit daunting in prospect but yeah the track and field around the world is it's just at such a point at the moment is what's happening in Jamaica in their Olympic trials and the Americans are on their last day of their trials today Australia's cutoff date for performance was yesterday so the team will be privately selected today and then announced I imagine in the next week or so there's there's great possibilities there there's there's a great futures market through the likes of Tori Lewis and Claudia Hollingsworth who will will meet for the first time on their Olympic journey and that's a journey that's likely to take us through LA and then to Brisbane as the culmination of it so yeah it's absolutely thrilling in prospect and I've thoroughly enjoyed the work so far how exciting from a Tassie perspective we're keeping a close eye on Stewie McSwayne of course so you've got big hopes for him over in Paris so that's I think we're just waiting on there's a glut of 1,500 metre runners so will he be in the 5,000 he's he's he's an international veteran now watching him run at Diamond Leagues and the like so yeah the selection of event will be really interesting for him with Oli Hawes the Commonwealth Champion at 1,500 and there's a couple of young tyros so yeah I'd be I'd be fascinated to know in the in the next week or so what the conversations have been like behind the scenes as to which event he's going to run and he's when you watch the international races that he's part of he's revered for the work that he does within these races and the chances that he gives himself so his his Olympic journey continues and it'll be great to see him and just quickly because we've got to get to a break but I think people will be fascinated to know just how much work you're putting into this you know it's such a big job I suppose but you've got your footy commitments and you show you do here as well you must just be in the books at the moment watching a lot of vision and things like that yeah so the beauty of modern research is it's it's all accessible it's all on YouTube your Diamond League meetings as so my Sundays have been put aside strictly for track and field over the past couple of months um the you sort of chase around the internet for the the illegal feeds of the US trials so you can get the audio well enough and from time to time you can grab the pictures as well what happens at Jamaica looks like it gets filmed from iPhones in the stands and then posted online but once uh Keishane Thompson runs his world's best top 10 all time it's straight up online um yeah following the the canyon and the Ethiopian Olympic trials it's it's an incredible project actually and and testament to the technological world that we live in that's so much of it is available if not in real time then immediately afterwards to be able to to take in so it's less research on paper and out of books and and much more on screens and what's happening on the track which is which has been wonderful to learn well it's not too far away now we're all excited for Paris all excited for your show coming up right after us too this morning here on S.E.N. Tazijer what have you got for us well there's going to be snap judgments all over the place I imagine deep deep in the footy there'll be a little bit of cricket with India Beadings South Africa and the T20 World Cup if you're in English football found this morning you've been through the wringer with the euros and then we'll do the the means test with David King and the wisdom and experience of Robocratic fantastic Jeremy really appreciate your time always very generous for us here on S.E.N. Tazijer good luck over in Paris we can't wait to hear your your dolls at Tones on Channel 9 terrific Brent good on you have a great day thanks Jared, Jared Whiteley there what a start he is it's breakfast powered by Kubota take on any job with Kubota's range of tractors mowers and utility vehicles still time to get us on the hardcore it's open line just like kick a colon says he says love Jared's segment with Ray Chamberlain every second Wednesday it's a must listen to understand the intricacies to umpiring and what drives the decisions they make thanks kick it for your message this morning you can send us a text as well 0437 552535 but now we're off to a break coming back after this with netball tasbonia ceo Mitch Colson here on S.E.N. Tazie breakfast try to talk netball now here on S.E.N. Tazie breakfast and netball tasbonia ceo Mitch Colson's drawing me in the studio Mitch nice to see you after a big Saturday night where the Mavs got the thrilling finish out there at my state Bankerona you must be wrapped with how it all went yeah thanks for having me on Brent uh now I was an unbelievable finish um yeah very nail-binding I think in my time in netball haven't quite seen a finished game like that but uh no it's great great aim to see her at my state Bankerona and um yeah it's super important for Tazie to keep hosting a let level netball yeah I was about to ask you that so we lost Collingwood obviously with their exit from the competition but it just seemed to know brainer for the Mavs to slide in and the partnership from the outside looking in seems to be going really well so far yeah it was you know the demise of Collingwood um there was that little interim period where obviously netball Australia and everyone else was trying to figure out what was going on um but once the Mavericks um you know entered the fray um the conversation evolved pretty quickly from there and uh yeah you would have seen um Sasha and Lauren from the Mavs in here last week obviously but um you know they were up in up in Launcest in the week leading in you know visits at NCNA school visits um a whole range of you know connection with the community um some connection with our clubs and our state programs so from our end we just feel like you know netball's got an enormous amount of value out of that so that's fantastic. You and I have spoken at length about a Tasmanian super netball team but it just goes to show doesn't it you know probably three three and a half thousand out there supporting a Melbourne based side if we had a Tasmanian team of our own uh we see what's happened with the jack jumpers the appetite's obviously there from what we saw Saturday night. Yeah absolutely right um it's hard to exactly quantify that but yeah the the Tasmanian own um you know that that adds you know x x percent to that um so yeah it's a very exciting ambition and something we're still incredibly passionate about something we're still strongly believing um so you know a bit of water to go into the bridge but um certainly we we make that known with netball Australia absolutely. And and not just super netball on Saturday it was a good chance for our Tasmanian wall to have a game against the marriage reserve side um you mentioned some of the other things they were doing here but just to have that experience and the and the net set goes at half time was awesome too and that probably got the the biggest cheer of all didn't they throughout the night. Yeah absolutely look at that that sort of stuff is you know that's potentially once in a lifetime it's not too often you find yourself out there at half time of the annual eight level sports so um I'm sure that's something that I remember for a long time um our our wild girls getting out there in my state bank arena um they actually had Stacy Meringovitch had popped down for the weekend and um Diamonds head coach and she she actually sat on our bench um and you know worked with our coaching group um work with a girl so again just very simply what sometimes we see our role is just creating more and more opportunity for the netball community I think I think we certainly delivered on that across the weekend. Yeah how do you see the Mabs partnership evolving from here they're going to have a couple of pre-season games I think and then another home in a way matched next season is that right? Yeah that's right so we'll be working with them um about the scheduling of those pre-season games one we'd imagine would be uh late this year sort of just before Christmas and then one early 2025 uh I'd say there's a very good chance um by one of those will be in Launceston um and you know possibly the other one might might even be on the northwest um but we've got to work through that um and then yeah one of the other things that are really begun with the Mavericks is how can we um you know get some of our girls over there Melbourne and training their environment so we're just working through the details of that but that's a really critical part um for us as well. Mitch Coulson is the netball Tasmania CEO and joining me in the studio this morning let's switch to T&L because uh semi-finals locked and loaded for this weekend and in no surprise the two northern teams cabs and hawks will go head to head for a spot in the grand final um and tell us about the other games you're upcoming up as well. Yeah so those those two northern clubs obviously been so so strong for so long so not a total uh surprise but yeah the cabs and hawks will play each other in both 19s and opens up there at the silver dome uh and down south um elimination final in the 19s between Crips and Corona um and then opens uh Crips and Kingston uh at 6pm Saturday 6th of July so yeah pointing into the season um yeah we'll see what happens but um yeah it's um it's been a shorter season but but still um a really really positive one so we're excited to get finals underway. Absolutely how do you think the state league's going as a whole? Yeah look it's it's been talked about and I guess that example of the northern clubs being at the point of the end um has been talked about a lot equally for the clubs you know closer to the bottom that's that's obviously no one likes being there and and we want to have probably a more evenly balanced competition so yeah I think I think that's um that's something we want to work on but I think our perspective on that would be that it's our responsibility to help those clubs and help them lift their standards um and to be frank at the moment help push that that standard up higher to to what the northern clubs are rolling with um so that's that's certainly what we intend to do um I think we can help facilitate more of what you saw on the weekend having a diamonds head coach down or having other head coaches down from SN programs help lift our coaches up um help them connect with you know strength and conditioning expertise all those sorts of things that help make you help make each club's program better so that's that's certainly our own 10 across this off season. And before I let you go how's netball going as a whole in Tasmania do you think? Yeah look we're really pleased um participation last year um you know finished really really strongly um we had the highest level of participation we've ever had in Tasmania from a registered player perspective we're looking a good spot to break that again um so we're really confident about that we're well aware of the challenges and things and the sign around AFL or the jack jumpers and all those sorts of things but um to some degree we also got to focus on what we can control and what we can do really well um and there's still lots of amazing things that you know we're working on at the moment that um I think can keep pushing that number further north. Well tremendous week it was last week for netball in Tasmania Mitch keep up the good work and thanks for joining us here in SCN Tassie breakfast this morning.

sports minister Nick Street nice to see you minister good to see you too mate thanks for coming in plenty happening in Tasmanian sport Andrew Dillon of course was in town last week how did you go with Andrew and what sort of things did you talk about yeah really good catch up with not to standard a bit a few others from the AFL as well Grant was obviously Grant O'Brien was at the meeting as well which was terrific to see him as well you know we were talking about a stadium update we were talking about the high performance center obviously but also just a general catch up into in terms of where we are in terms of progress they were they were really really happy with the participation numbers that they've got for this year both boys and girls they've seen an uptick already which is terrific which is exactly what we want to see from the announcement of the team and the hope is that those numbers keep going from strength to strength as we get closer to the AFL team coming into the comp designs not too far away for Mac Point do you think the public will be pleased with what they see look I have got my fingers crossed the public obviously we'll be very happy with what they see and we'll release those designs as soon as they're ready do you think that the discourse surrounding the stadium might change now that people will have a clear idea of what Mac Point might look like because we haven't had that I think so it's been a very abstract concept the idea people drive past the the site all the time when they go through that intersection and obviously don't see anything there I think once you can actually visualize what's going to be there we hope that it will make it a very different conversation just like the conversation around having an AFL team changed from from when it was an idea as a concept that we'll pitch into the AFL as soon as you saw that they agreed to let the team in you saw the support come forward in terms of the membership 192,000 members you know two years ago when we were talking about whether we could justify having a team who would have thought that that would be the result so soon as you put stuff put the visuals in front of people it changes the conversation to be hopefully we've had Paul Lennon and Dean Kalman on this show talking about Mac 2.0 and Paul I believe wrote to all Tasmanian MPs over the weekend about the impact both standing proposals will have on the the Senate half did you get that email and what's your response to that I'll have got the email my concerns around 2.0 are the same as they've always been there's still a lot of unanswered questions for me in terms of that proposal and I still haven't been provided anything to satisfy any of the questions that I've got so we'll wait for that for Dean and Paul and that consortium to bring forward more information and then we'll go from there Andrew Dillon the AFLCO is my guest on the devil's advocate this afternoon here's what he had to say about 2.0 Mac 2.0 has been around the surface for a little while can we put a line officially through that if it hasn't been already you can definitely do that pretty definitive minister look pretty definitive from the AFL and look whilst the stadium at Mac Point isn't an AFL only stadium and we've been quick to stress that from the start that it's a multi-purpose stadium the fact of the matter is that we do have a contract with the AFL that specifies where the stadium has to be built that's why Andrew is comfortable putting a line through it you do have some things to navigate they don't you with the good shed and and the the centre-tarf issues with the RSL and things you're confident that you be able to tackle all those look I'm really confident that we can deal with all those issues but I'm also acutely aware that we have to deal with them as well we want to make sure that stakeholders are as happy as possible with with the end result whether we can get to a point where everyone's a hundred percent satisfied is probably unlikely that's just the nature of doing any development of this size but we'll continue to work with any stakeholder that that has an opinion or or a peripheral position around the stadium as well how about the high performance centre I feel like just you know from the outside looking in that kimber is well and truly back in the mix for this would you say that and we asked Andrew dealing that too is at 50/50 he still believes rosne rosne is the preferred site but there's a few issues going on over there yeah look we announced rosne is the preferred site last December but even when we did that we made it clear that we were going to continue to do to do our due diligence at both sites because there were still issues to work through that due diligence hasn't changed we're still doing it at both sites I think either site will be a terrific site for the high performance centre rosne still remains the preferred site but if that changes then we'll we'll let people know as quickly as we can got a text in here on the harcot's open line it says good morning sc and tazzy boys please ask minister nick street why it hasn't the tasminian government not declared rosne hpc a major project hence removing ccc of all the unnecessary delays and costly drama the legislation was introduced for developments like this thank you from george understand the sentiment but also was it george yes george um we've been clear that we want to work with people um rather than try and sub try and work over processes we will continue to work through both of these sites at klarens and kinkston with um with the respective councils and that's our preferred way of working at this stage let's go to basketball some really exciting news last week that uh larry keserman and the nbl are looking to take a a joint chunk of that the w nbl which would be great and we've seen what larry's been able to do the the nbl the jack jumpers have obviously strongly expressed an interest in joining that competition is that something you're interested in from sports minister's perspective i'll look at absolutely is it's obviously at a preliminary stage but i've got to say i've had conversations with christian fitting in and others at the jack jumpers um about um the w nbl we um where's the government actually paid um some some money to um basketball Australia to bring a wmbl game down here a couple of seasons back the south side flyers and bendigo yep i think it was yep um and i attended that match and the actual the game itself was as good as you'll see and we know how how well um the Australian team the opal stack up on it on an international stage um but one of the things that i think was the biggest difference between attending the wmbl and the nbl was actual presentation of the game and i think it's one of the things that the wmbl needs um i think with larry's um with larry's input and the um everything that they've brought to the presentation in the nbl i think the wmbl could be an incredibly important competition in international basketball and if there is an opportunity for the jack jumpers to have a female license that's a conversation that the government desperately wants to have with the jack jumpers as well speaking about the jackies obviously sell out crowds every week there's a look at expanding my state underway at the moment um where's that at and do you think that needs to happen uh look i believe that that work's going on at the minute i haven't seen the results of that work but we look forward to um to talking to the okay group and to the jack jumpers once they've um once they've firmed up the work that they're doing out there good another text in here on the harcot's open line question for minister streets quite lengthy so i'll try and um get through it as quick as i can with the election commitment to the lonceston tornadoes nbl one club of a hundred thousand dollars to promote women's equality in basketball and pathways for young female players in northern tasmonia will the government be providing the same support to the hobo charges women's program to promote equality and pathways for young females in southern tasmonia and it goes on a little bit from there but uh your response to that look the commitment that was made to the tornadoes was made during the election campaign it was made after a submission by the tornadoes to one of the um one of the local candidates up there it was assessed like all of the other proposals that were put in front of us during the election campaign and a decision was made to fund it um certainly me as a local member down here i didn't receive anything from the hobo charges of the like um but we're more than happy to continue talking to the hobo charges about how we support that club and basketball in the south the state as well what do you know about the national second to soccer competition it's one that confuses me it doesn't have the backing of football tasmonia it seems like it early it was a south hobo bid which is now a bit on behalf of the state have you been approached about this and is it likely to happen yeah look i've met the people behind that proposal a couple of times firstly when it was a south hobo proposal then when it was a uh more of a tasmonian proposal like you said um i think one of the important aspects of this is that it isn't supported by football tas um we've got teams in second-tier sports right right across the spectrum um but what we want to make sure is that when we do have those teams in those competitions that it actually helps the ecosystem that sits below it in terms of local sport i would have real concerns if football tasmonia don't support the proposal that their biggest concern would be the effect it would have on local soccer rather than adding to to what we've got that it might detract from it as well um and so that's an issue that the consortium would have to have to work through with football tas i've got to say as well that the quantum of funding that they're asking for to make it a reality as well is um is light is in difference to what the government contributes to other sports for bestie supposition in second-tier comps can you tell us what that is no look i'm not going to disclose that that's a conversation that they that they had in terms of coming to us and asking i don't think it's fair to be putting those numbers on the table all i'll say is that there is a vast difference between what we um the support that we provide to somebody in the second-tier basketball competitions for example as to what they need to make this stack up what about a league where does that fit in the scheme of things obviously you got hurricanes jack jumpers hurricanes women as well over that summer period is a league is there room for an a league team down the track i think there's potentially room for an a league team um but again there are a lot of issues to work through in terms of participation for tasmonia in the a league as well netball ripping night on saturday at my state bank arena with the maverick's in town of course so i've been pushing this for a while i think there's a real appetite for a super net ball team here in tazia we've got the venue out there ready to go is that on your right you got you got lots of questions going here about different teams but there's so much opportunity here in tazia isn't it i actually it's one of the great great things though isn't it how long how long ago um or you know five years ago would we be talking about tasmonia in terms of participating in national competitions and national competitions actively pursuing tasmonia to become part of their competition rather than the other way around um again there are some issues around the the super entry tasmonia entry into the super netball uh i don't even know whether they're looking at expansion in terms of the number of teams at the minute i think they're at eight and they're pretty happy with that with that number um but you know anytime netball australia want to come and have a conversation with us about participation in the super netball um competition where we're more than happy to have that conversation having said that um like you said i didn't get there sat on a night but apparently a terrific night and i've got to say that super netball has done already and got in front of the wmbl in terms of its presentation of its product um i think that they um that they found a niche for for women's sport with the super netball series and the promotion of it um and it's something that netball should be incredibly proud of just on back on the wmbl would you consider having a a game here again um between south side and whoever or another club look again that their conversations that we have all the time and that they purely come down to a value judgment for us in terms of the quantum of funding that's required versus what the um what the sport's prepared to bring if they're prepared to bring two sides down um not just for two nights potentially for a game but they're prepared have them here to run some clinics get some community participation then that's certainly something that we look at now a question here from maddie snapper rude who's our racing expert are you worried about this i i was worried about it when you told me beforehand that he texted in i'm more worried now Brent it says what chance a team duck to go back to back at barnboogle he wants to know ah so so he's referring to a 10 on 10 series that get deployed late july between a group group of us uh team duck will go back to back um we have um we've got some work to do to overall we've been doing that for about 10 years and i think we're down a um a couple of trophies but um but rallied last year and looking to go back to back like you said very good now how are you going mate because you've been really open and honest about your mental health and applaud you for that it must be a really tough thing to do um you've been away for a little period but you're back on deck now how's how's things going for you yeah look i've been back at work for a week Brent um really tough period of time um but i've gotten like i've said before i've got an incredible family um really supportive group of friends um who've been with me the whole way through this uh feel like i've worked my way through it and i'm coming out the other side of it now which is great still um still got a little bit of the process to go um but enjoying being back at work um you know even enjoying being back in the office with Tim um my chief of staff which is a surprise surprise to me that even after a week i um i was actually glad to be back around him so um yeah look i'm not to make light of it it's been a tough time um and what i would say to people is reach out and ask for help if you need it um if somebody's leg was as bad as my head was two months ago they would never think about ignoring it um don't ignore it don't think it's going to go away seek professional help um and make sure that you get the support of family and friends around you while you're going through it as well yeah really well said and i'm sure you're helping people just by being so open and honest with it and putting it out there so yeah as i said i poured you for that and thanks again for coming in this morning appreciate you giving us an update on all things sport plenty going on which is really exciting and good luck with it all moving forward anytime mate
