Mark DuffieldHOST
It will be known as Dreamtime at Marley, which is the Noongar word for Black Swan.
Mark DuffieldHOST
Richmond will host the Bombers the following year in 2028.
Mark DuffieldHOST
Now, these games, we would guess, are not going to be popular in Melbourne, but they do represent a win for footy-starved WA fans.
Mark DuffieldHOST
Third thought is on Ash Brazel, the Fremantle veteran who will make her final AFLW appearance against Sydney this weekend unless the Dockers can somehow lift themselves from 10th on the ladder and into the finals.
Julian De StoopHOST
That's right.
Liam PickeringHOST
And what about your mob this year? The Bombers.
Liam PickeringHOST
What do you think is going to happen?
Julian De StoopHOST
They'll be
Julian De StoopHOST
Fair enough.
Liam PickeringHOST
But as you say, when you get out of the game by a quarter time, it's deflating.
Liam PickeringHOST
But the other thing with the Bombers is that the teams that they are around, They need to be able to beat.
Liam PickeringHOST
Yeah.
Marnie VinallGUEST
Oh.
Lizzy HooHOST
Yeah, what would your win be? Bombers pay JWS.
Lizzy HooHOST
Woo! Which is a huge win, by the way.
Marnie VinallGUEST
I actually had a really good fish burger, actually.
Lizzy HooHOST
And follow the AFLW this season.
Lizzy HooHOST
Please.
Marnie VinallGUEST
Go Bombers.
Marnie VinallGUEST
Go Bombers.
LeroyHOST
Ben Jacobs is our backline coach now.
LeroyHOST
He's joined us from the Bombers.
LeroyHOST
Yeah.
LeroyHOST
Who, by the way, over the last couple of years have done next to nothing.
LiamHOST
It's Bonnie, Empress, and Gay.
LiamHOST
What say you? You're a known Bombers hater as a Hawthorne fan.
LiamHOST
That's your right of way, even though you don't show that at all.
LiamHOST
Are you of the view that you can stack your team with Bombers given the good matchups, or is it just not a very good football team?
JonoHOST
I don't think there's enough points to go around.
JonoHOST
I think in regular seasons, I would probably have added a Steph Wales to that mix.
Sam EdmundCORRESPONDENT
Yeah.
Kane CornesHOST
But they'll play finals next year, and they'll win a final next year, the Bombers.
Kane CornesHOST
Whoa.
Kane CornesHOST
Hang on.
Kane CornesHOST
They will.
Kane CornesHOST
They'll win a final.
Kane CornesHOST
They'll win a final next year, the Bombers.
Sam EdmundCORRESPONDENT
One of my favourites.
Archie RobertsHOST
But Bomber fans, let's get right into it.
Archie RobertsHOST
Let's start with an AFLW review, and unfortunately, during the trade period where I was talking trades every single day, we unfortunately missed, uh, the opportunity to talk about the Essendon AFLW side's only win of the year, because the Bombers did get a win against GWS three games ago.
Archie RobertsHOST
It was a great win.
Archie RobertsHOST
It was a, a great game for the Bombers, uh, a- and a great moment to just get the monkey off the back a little bit and have something to cheer about.
Archie RobertsHOST
Unfortunately though, since then, it's been back to normality, to real life.
Archie RobertsHOST
It's been back-to-back smashings for the Bombers, uh, at the hands of the Bulldogs last week, and North Melbourne on Sunday.
Archie RobertsHOST
Uh, there are really questions starting to be posed about Natalie Wood's future as head coach of the Essendon side with just two games left in the season.
Archie RobertsHOST
Uh, but despite Sunday's margin, you know, creeping out to above 50 points, the fact that we're equal bottom last with St. Kilda only a head-on percentage, I would say this game was one of the better performing ones for the Bombers, going up against the flag favorites North Melbourne, a team who had an almost 30-game win streak over the last two years.
Gerard WhateleyHOST
Anzac Day is a weird one, lining up in the MCC line each year.
Gerard WhateleyHOST
It's the one day Pies and Bombers supporters laugh with each other while lining up.
Gerard WhateleyHOST
The bars are buzzing with chatter with people who you see once a year.
Gerard WhateleyHOST
They're not your mates, but you know them from the day over the years.
12 MINS LATER
Gerard WhateleyHOST
Les from Moonee Ponds.
Gerard WhateleyHOST
And I remember attending the famous Zaharakis game when it poured with rain.
Gerard WhateleyHOST
I was sitting behind a young family, father, mother and two kids about five years old, all supporting the Bombers.
Gerard WhateleyHOST
The kids were rather restless all day and it got a bit much in the final quarter with five minutes to go.
Gerard WhateleyHOST
Fantastic.
Gerard WhateleyHOST
From the SANFL days, Channel 9 used former Essendon Premiership player of the early 50s and later Sturt player Wally May, who became iconic in Adelaide.
Gerard WhateleyHOST
Jimmy Hill started special comments in English football in the 1970s and during the 1970 World Cup.
Gerard WhateleyHOST
Special comments were utilised.
speaker_7UNKNOWN
J- she w- she just said, "Do you think it's best for a fresh start somewhere else?" And we had a great discussion and, um, walked away from that very, very, uh, confident that we had to, I guess, hopefully look elsewhere.
speaker_7UNKNOWN
And, um, I knew I had another year on my contract, so it was just more discussion, and thankfully, um, the Bombers took the chance on me, yeah.
Andy MaherHOST
There you go.
Andy MaherHOST
Kenny Coleman ends up the Bombers for pick 25.
Andy MaherHOST
So, uh, we wish him all the very best in his rehab.
Andy MaherHOST
And if, uh, they can get him right-
Andy MaherHOST
So the sports update for Diablo Alcoholic Ginger Beer, a gluten-free Queensland-made ginger beer.
Andy MaherHOST
It's devilishly, uh, refreshing.
