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."

    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.

    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.

    The decade's best episode of television, Mad Men's 'The Suitcase ...

    think "the suitcase" is probably a bottle episode? one of the best hours of television ever

    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.

    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).

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
