  1. Wow... like the film, I'm speechless! ;-)
  2. The Speilberg film about the truck? Are you kidding? That is one of the best suspense films I have seen...
  3. In order for that to happen, you're assuming that the ball is going to get to their forward line
  4. Unless they turn them 180 degrees and run on the tops of their feet, I doubt that should be an issue.
  5. I've not seen a single episode.
  6. True story, a friend of mine was curator for aboriginal art at the National Gallery in Canberra and he told me that when the gallery was getting ready to open in the early 80's they had mock-ups created of all of the major works so they could hang them first to get the groupings on the walls looking right. After they were done with, they decided to hang the mock-up of Blue Poles in the staff room. Before the official opening the then Minister for the Arts was taken on a tour to familiarize himself and when they stopped in the staff area he commented on how lucky the staff were to have Blue Poles hanging in their room and how fresh it still looked (the paint was yet to completely dry).
  7. Saty would be the best person to answer this I suspect.
  8. Failed their first real test miserably.
  9. Hawthorn and the Swans by the biggest margins, but all of them by at least a point.
  10. Well, he didn't say that Pedersen won't be coming into the side (or Spencil for that matter).
  11. You seem to have him gone already and have already gone into the first stage of grieving (anger/abuse - "selfish sod"). How about we just wait until the end of the season... his manager may well have told him that he can squeeze a bit more out of the club. None of us know, so why not wait and see?
  12. Have to agree for the most part...and add to that list My Mother the Car, The Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres, Petticoat Junction etc. There have been moments of brilliance since (The Bob Newhart Show, Seinfeld etc) but they have been few and far between.
  13. Robinson and Toby Greene in an almost dead heat followed by daylight and then Harvey and Jack Reiwoldt in another close run contest for the last position on the podium.
  14. I might be wrong, but I think you'll find that Matt Jones was out for a rib injury.
  15. I'd like to see Watts re-sign as well.
  16. Sylvia is being brought back for a guest spot.
  17. So they can shout out a clearly enunciated "Hurrah!" upon slotting it.
  18. And how many of that particular Dees team are playing this Sunday?
  19. Just throw together a few of those "old jungle sayings".
  20. If ANB can rack up 39 disposals against Sandy, he may well break the 50 barrier against the Lions :-)
  21. Well there you go, Jetta's week was the result of a demarcation issue.
  22. Commercial films have been deteriorating as Hollyweird for the most part seems bereft of original ideas, I'll give you that, but there have been plenty of superb "maverick" film makers in more recent times...John Waters, Jim Jarmusch, Werner Herzog, Wim Wenders, and the list goes on. And what about the 40's and 50's? Film noir, high drama, science fiction that hadn't been ruined by science fact getting in the way of a good story and so on. Films like The Maltese Falcon, Giant, Forbidden Planet, etc.
  23. Did you miss the post above that says Dr Larkins believes he should be rested for the remainder of the year? Additionally, we have no idea what his record was with concussions prior to joining an AFL team. Players who attack the ball like Brayshaw does are likely to have suffered numerous concussions in junior competition... there is one such kid in my son's team (just under 14's) who has already suffered two or three concussions this year... to the point where he woke up with such a bad headache that he had to go to the hospital for an immediate check-up. Not only did Blease retire due to issues but also there is the well publicised case of Daniel Bell who suffered brain damage. I find it rather incredible that some supporters see the need to put these players out there regardless of potential major health issues, simply in order to improve our chances of winning a few games. Some things are simply bigger than the game.
