  1. Actually, I think we are being a little unfair to Undeeterred, It was JackVineyForPresident who started the whole "supported dees as a kid" thing.
  2. Yes, and if all of our current players went to the clubs they supported where would we be? Tyson at Richmond, Jones, Dawes, Watts, Salem, JKH, Howe etc... where would they all be?
  3. Loving the effort so far... even McDonald and Terlich are delivering the ball well.
  4. As much as I would love to be there, I am stuck in Sydney and will be there in spirit while watching every second of the game (and hopefully victory celebrations) on Foxtel. I will however most likely be down late July early August... so maybe Hawthorn at the 'G'.
  5. it's actually "auld acquaintance" (scottish I believe)... I think it means we should never forget our old friends/comrades in arms etc.
  6. Leave the song alone, it's fine as it is... besides, if you really wanted to change it, you would need to rewrite it from scratch and to a totally different tune, because it was originally written for a staged musical called George Washington Jnr... http://www.whatsoproudlywehail.org/curriculum/the-american-calendar/youre-a-grand-old-flag
  7. I particularly liked the last line in that article: "ASADA’s new boss Ben McDevitt has said the Essendon case will be finalised in weeks, not months."
  8. Well, I guess you could look at that as being due to the fact that film schools tried to adopt that as a standard wen the likes of Polanski, Bergman and Fellini were all de rigeur Which film school by the way? I studied graphic art at Swinburne in the very early 70's and had some contact (more on a social level) with people in the Film & TV school - my only recollection of anything film related then in my studies, was some visiting "expert" talking to us on how they blue-screened everything in The Sound of Music... they sent just a camera crew to the alps to film the scenery; apparently not a single actor actually set foot in Austria (or Switzerland?). As for me, I'm just a fan of film, so I'm not professing any knowledge on the technical aspects
  9. Not sure I will be able to get along to the festival yet - finances and other plans allowing or not. (what is the film you have playing there?). Re Repulsion... I saw both that and Images for the first time in 1972, so not having been over exposed to SFX at that time, I found myself pretty immersed in Repulsion (especially the hallway scene with the groping hands)... also, considering Repulsion was made in 1965, the effects weren't too shabby - yes, not exactly Harryhausen, but still pretty ok ;-) If you have time for a drink when you are here, let me know. Would be good to start connecting names with faces on this forum.
  10. Actually, even if he DOES wear MFC attire, it will also mean nothing.
  11. Yep, just came up on my Twitter feed... excellent news!!
  12. As was Woey from memory.
  13. I'm sure you'll be able to find a nice little bar in the Favela where they will be live streaming ;-)
  14. Should have used the Shower Scene from Psycho version... a kind of "stay away from the brown acid" cut.
  15. Maybe the MRP take into account that Brown has broken just about every bone in his head and have a "not quite there" dispensation they invoke for such occasions.
  16. Yeah, know what you mean... you have to travel all the way from East Melbourne and Barn Dee, who started this whole whinge over start times, only has a mere 300km drive ahead of him.
  17. We are in this with a real chance... and whatever the final result, it is patently obvious that we are on the way up!
  18. Grimes should lose his co-captaincy for that effort!
  19. Jetta and Dunn are having fantastic games... and a nice goal to Salem. We're holding our own since they had that early 4 goal break... and another!!
