**Mark Duffield** (1:07)
They were a great band, weren't they? Ice House, I have a Davies out the front there. What a voice, what a front man. That is time for the electric moment of the weeks. Thanks to Verizon Perth, a new era of commercial transport has arrived in Western Australia.
Paul Heath.

**Heata Butros** (1:26)
Did Heata and Ivo ever hook up?

**Mark Duffield** (1:28)
Did who?

**Heata Butros** (1:29)
Heata Butros and Ivo Davies. Because it's Heata and Ivo, it's just sort of a nice little match up there. You know, we've been around the same time.

**Mark Duffield** (1:37)
We sometimes used to ponder.

**Heata Butros** (1:39)
Same vintage.

**Mark Duffield** (1:40)
At the West Australian newspaper, the sports writing section.

**Heata Butros** (1:44)
Oh dear.

**Mark Duffield** (1:45)
What would happen?

**Heata Butros** (1:46)
Let's get that dumb button ready.

**Mark Duffield** (1:47)
If Fooey Fooey Moi Moi, the NRL player, had fallen in love with Miao Miao, the table tennis player.

**Heata Butros** (1:57)
You tried to get me to figure this out the other day. I still don't know if I've quite got it. So it's...

**Mark Duffield** (2:02)
It would be... She would be Miao Miao.

**Heata Butros** (2:07)
Miao Miao Moi Moi. Yeah.
Well, I'm glad I asked about either and either. Either way. Do you want to take the new ball with this one, Duff?

**Mark Duffield** (2:20)
So for me, the big moment of the week, Marble Stadium was rocking, and it wasn't rocking any more than when Harry Dean kicked his first goal in AFL football.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:31)
Haywood got it to Florent over the top. Jagger-Smith inboard handball. Now what's Dean doing?
Oh, yes, indeed, Dean! First goal in AFL footy, and they've got to find him, because he's in amongst the Blues crowd. They've turned in to the Harlem Globetrotters.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:47)
This carton side, unbelievable goal.

**Heata Butros** (2:50)
It was a very good goal.

**Mark Duffield** (2:51)
Very good goal.

**Heata Butros** (2:52)
For your first one. Yeah, yeah, something to hang the hat on.
Sammy Lawler is where I go to for my electric moment of the week. Here's the goal that iced the game versus West Coast on Sunday.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:03)
Ralph Smith takes the mark and he can just stop and prop. He plays on. He's put it in to the path of Lawler. This can ice it. A foot race back to its goal. Lawler gets it, runs around. He shrugs the tackle. Sammy Lawler, Ices the game.
The young star in the mold of Dustin Martin kicks his third.

**Mark Duffield** (3:25)
It did have the look of Dusty about it, you have to say. And you know the beauty of Sammy Lawler, like Dustin Martin, he is absolutely clinical and surgical with ball in hand. So he had about 13 or 14 disposals on the weekend. He was, as much as anyone in the game, the difference in the game because he kicked goals. He took chances and he kicked goals.
And that's what he does. He's a beautiful user of the ball, and the tides are going to enjoy watching him for a long time to come. Electric Moment of the Week, thanks to Verizon. Design for businesses that demand performance, innovation and efficiency. Verizon Perth. Visit verizonauto.au.
