Love this! Funny how you can not like a song much until you hear a superb cover of it.

And that song Calling You from Baghdad Cafe is so good! Another film from that era was the Coen Brothers effort, Raising Arizona.

Raising Arizona is a great move. As are most Coen Brothers movies. Fargo and No Country For Old Men are my faves.

I always imagine, that is exactly how it would have started... some dude/dudette, with some words, on a guitar...before production.

Pies first gamer, Irish recruit Anton Tohill is son of Anthony Tohill who played a game for us in the 90’s. He is listed as 200 cm! Interesting to see how he goes. 

Mmmm.  So just a few games short for a father and son pick for us then - no doubt Scott would  have a public gripe though had dad play for the Cats.

And then it usually goes south at that point.

Not sure if I've seen that one. Will put it on the to do list for a rainy weekend. 

One of the worst openings to an Olympics ever!!  I didn't know Beatlejuice was hired as a choreographer!

Back to the footy

It’s so good! I guess lockdown’s not all bad: you get the opportunity to discover new stuff to watch. 


Just watched a few minutes only as I really DGAF re the result.  (We need to only think  of winning our games and ignore the rest, given that we are still currently on top.  Any other mindset will lead to another season of MFCSS disappointment).

Has the distance required for a mark been reduced to 8 meters, without the public being informed?  And holding on after a mark is apparently now ok. 
 

7 commentary again awful.  “Was that deliberate? Oh, didn’t go out??

Correction - 4 meters, it seems. 


Just watching the opening ceremony of the Olympics, like so many other events without crowds it just isn’t the same. Plus the amount of people involved it makes it look like it’s a dress rehearsal. Feel sorry for those involved, their opportunity at being a part of something special and it’s (yet another thing) ruined by the pandemic. 

Such an upbeat Ceremony. Great to see a nod to macrame at the start

I swear to god I’m losing the will to live watching this opening ceremony. And then the other option is watching Port vs Pies. 
Life is so hard.

I wonder what the Japanese theme for the torch lighting will be?  Kamikaze pilot??

I'd rather…beat the top 4 teams.

Robert Harvey just looks so weird in Black and White......dont think hell be there long somehow.

Go coach the Saints Rob.....at least that would be bearable.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
