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.

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.

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).

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
