I still get a giggle every time I hear Sandy Roberts call Leanne Dick, Leanne Cock.
Rosie WaltonHOST
Yeah, here we go.
speaker_5UNKNOWN
First Australia with us in Leanne Cock and Leanne Dick, I should say, and Leanne, it's going to be very interesting.
RabsPANELIST
This is, uh, Wayno.
RabsPANELIST
He goes, "When Fat plays the audio- Yes ... of the 27-meter goal after the siren- 57 ... ask him why Sandy Roberts describes it as, quote, 'A rock 'n' rolling season.'" Yes.
RabsPANELIST
"Then ask him about round five at Kardinia Park against North Melbourne- Righto ... where the smack- [laughs] The smack ... played a full game of AFL football with two gloves on." No.
RabsPANELIST
So let's just- Two gloves? Let's just hear the audio first.
RabsPANELIST
I think the gloves might've got the axe.
RabsPANELIST
[laughs] Yes.
RabsPANELIST
Wayne, we appreciate you- Oh, good one, Wayne ... shining a light on exactly why the great Sandy Roberts said- So negative ... rock 'n' rolling season.
RabsPANELIST
So negative, you are.

Dwayne RussellHOST
Susan, there were a lot of great callers back then.
Dwayne RussellHOST
I mean, Sandy Roberts, a good friend of mine, was lucky enough to call with Sandy for years.
Dwayne RussellHOST
Fantastic caller.
Dwayne RussellHOST
Even the ABC had great callers like Peter Booth, Peter Smooth Booth, that I was lucky enough to learn from at the ABC when I did my five-year traineeship.
Mark BerettaGUEST
I'd just walked in the door at Channel 7, and they said, you know what, we'd like you to go to the Olympic Games in Atlanta.
Mark BerettaGUEST
And I turned to a guy called Sandy Roberts, who Sandy was a great sports commentator and senior to me, and I said, Sandy, what's it like? He said, mate – He said, Olympic Games are like two AFL Grand Finals every day for two weeks.
Mark BerettaGUEST
And he wasn't wrong.
Mark BerettaGUEST
It's that big.
Mark BerettaGUEST
If it was happening, Dad was there.
Mark BerettaGUEST
Mum would love to watch it, just love the magnificence of sport.
Mark BerettaGUEST
I think that's also where my... my love of sports commentary came from was, you know, just watching mum calling us in and watching so many hours of TV and watching, you know, the Bruce McIvanes and Sandy Roberts and all those guys who went before me and I was lucky enough to work with.
Mark BerettaGUEST
But yeah, skiing was just one of those things.
Sam EdmundHOST
That's Hutch in Glebe.
Sam EdmundHOST
Oh, and we were talking about Sandy Roberts earlier.
Sam EdmundHOST
What more can you say? When Sandy's son moved to Geelong Mad Geelong College in the early 90s at the height of Ablett fever, the poor fella could not cross the quadrangle without someone shouting, what more can you say? That's from Troy.
Sam EdmundHOST
What's Trent Rivers going to do? Well, there's a question.
Sam EdmundHOST
We'll go back and we'll have a look.
Sam EdmundHOST
Someone's saying here, can you please get the Sandy Roberts audio out? Here is the magician at work, Hamish Parkdale.
Sam EdmundHOST
What more can you say? Geelong versus Collingwood in the mud, middle of the year, MCG.
Sam EdmundHOST
Ablett Senior goes up for the mark.
Mark BerettaGUEST
You know, I didn't want, never wanted to get out of sport.
Mark BerettaGUEST
And, uh, you know, I'd watch the Australian Open tennis and see, um, guys like Bruce McAvaney and Sandy Roberts and Peter Landy, all these commentators, and I thought, "What a great thing, you know, to be able to go to the best sport in the world and talk about it." And, uh, I, I just managed to, to work my way, with a-
Pod O'SullivanHOST
Yeah
Mark BerettaGUEST
... a lot of help and friends and probably hard work, um, into that area.
