Thanks for clarifying his moniker as the woo who man

I called him the yippee bloke.

Im sure i heard a yippee last night but it could have been the 4th bourban kicking in.

Anywho the guys a champion and Im glad he stuck it up the crows fans.

Please step forward sir.

Hey Deever. On the 13th of August in 2016 in response to our round 21 win vs Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval you curiously posted the following: "Whoo Hooo. Don't think well play finals this year but I'm sure we will next year."

Fancy bringing your smooth podcast voice to the party AmDam? Or taking the opportunity for a free plug? I have the link in my pocket but don't want to publicly out you without consent. 

I’m all in dude. Woo hoo [censored].

Well done @Kumamoto_Ken and a big shout out to the real "Woo-Hoo man".  Gotta love a woo-hoo-man with a plan!

As for Woo Who Mystery Man, still my favourite Woo Who came when Clarry goaled from that snap in the pocket a few years back (2017?). So good.

AF - brings back fond memories. I took the family across to Adelaide for the weekend to watch that game. We were right at the top of the main grandstand. As the ferals were getting progressively quiet as we picked up after half time, I yelled out "how good was that" for Clarry's goal. And then wondered if we'd get out unscathed. Gees it was a great night.

Can't recall the industry term but nowadays in a high-end TV series you will tend to have one or two standalone episodes intended to bring the budget down. Usually a minor character study or some single location script. This will be that. 

In the course of my research I just got a tonne of information on why we can never hear the questions in AFL post-match press conferences, and a reasonable explanation of why we suddenly can. A new side-mystery, maybe resolved. 

First thing. It's not the AFL. The individual stadiums have AV contractors. The standard set up is two desk-mikes, one between the legs, and a mobile boom guy. A couple drop-down mikes would fix the problem, but at an unworthwhile expense.

This feed goes out to the radio. If you see mikes with radio logos set up on the desk these are just props. The leads go nowhere. The press room at AO is like a university auditorium. I always imagined it the size of an average lounge-room. 

So the journalists are hugely spread out. It's almost impossible for the boom guy to get across to the question in time, especially when everyone is firing off questions until one is picked out.  The exception is when questions are staged in advance. 

Another side mystery that could probably be easily resolved. My source mentioned a chubby channel 7 journo who all the coaches seriously hate. Has a tie or something. Anyway, they will get the camera and boom on him for prearranged questions. 

Very simply - with Covid - there are now a fifth of the journalists in the press room. And they don't have to compete to get their questions across. So they just agree to take it in turns and the mobile boom guy is standing there in advance.  

 

The term is a bottle episode. Some of the best episodes ever written were bottles.

Ha. Not me. Have not been to Adelaide for decades.

Sounds like something the woo-hoo man would say. 

[Melb-A-Toast 257]

I would love it if this could be the chant from the crowd (when they return in strength) after each goal, and when victory is assured. The collective woo-hoo would be delightful

Do some googling AF. It will be worth the effort. Somerton Man is probably now more well known outside of Australia than within. 

I've done a bunch of Googling and they still say he's unidentified.

Yup, 'The Suitcase' is a bottle. Breaking Bad had some incredible bottle episodes and many of its early episodes verged on bottles, because of the lower AMC budgets, but as the show went on, it got more expansive.

One of the best bottle episodes ever written IMO is an episode of Homicide: Life On The Street, titled 'Three Men and Adena'. Fontana is a bloody brilliant writer, who created and wrote Oz too. He won an Emmy for this episode that was also directed by New Zealand director Martin Campbell, better known for directing Edge of Darkness in the 80s, GoldenEye and Casino Royale. It's an episode where the detectives interrogate a suspect for the entire episode. If you get some time, it's totally worth it. Genius.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Woo-hoo man made his debut in our win over Port in 2016? Roos's last win as coach.

Hopefully he's up and about in the last qtr on Sunday.

- Likely lives in Adelaide

- Likes the words woo and hoo

- He lives inside a bottle

The thing about bottle episodes is they're often divisive. People either love them or hate them. I have a bunch of friends that hate that ep of Seinfeld and hate the Breaking Bad episode of the 'Fly' (another bottle).
