Leading Teams

Recommended Posts

Thanks Biff. This one was done in Sydney.

"Labor in Power" i worked on for 2 years in Melbourne back in '93.

That was an amazing show to work on.

Cant believe you actually kept your clothes on long enough to shoot some footage.

The problem with the ABC is that when you do turn up you are all off your faces on drugs but usually you are plotting the downfall of society down the Pub on the poor old taxpayers dollar.

I know how it works.

I read Demonland.

BTW-of course it was shot in Sydney. "If you're not living in Sydney-you're camping out"

I'll allow that Keating may have done some good things, but he deprived use of the prime ministership of John Hewson. Unforgivable.

Hewson would liked to have had his cake AND eaten it... but he couldn't work out how to divide it up so he got the biggest piece.

No doubt it would make the No T$ No B$ thread seem tiny .... (and I don't think we would be imagining for long :))

Having read Ray Mcleans books and used some of the strategies myself, I can say that it is a fantastic program IMHO. but it is a very long term one - I was shattered when neeld got rid of it. bailey had it for 2 years and it was just starting to pay off.

there will be off days of course but its a great way of getting those home truths out in the open.

for example, everyone knows stuff about other people at their work, what their main problems are, if they are lazy or don't do x, or concentrate too much on y or whatever - but usually this stuff just gets said behind that persons back.

this is a way of telling that person their problems and then saying "we will help you improve"

I am glad you mentioned Ray McLean, as Roos often refers to him as the spark when they had a chance meeting at an airport 10 or so years ago.

Leading Teams leaves a sour taste in my mouth over the Akermanis bulldogs debacle. Here, the most boring sporting team in Australia, was trying to tell this guy to stop doing something remotely interesting like a frigging handstand after a game.

Was that LT philosophy? Or was that small-mindedness from Eade, Brad Johnson, and Smorgon?

I never understood why Footscray kept Acker in handcuffs. They had an identity that they refused to promote.

Very strange and stupid.

No wonder he became twisted and bitter....

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    Captain Max Gawn has a considerable lead over the injured reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Jack Viney & Alex Neal-Bullen, make up the Top 5. Your votes for the win against the Eagles. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
