From Justin Plapp's round 9 player review: Mitch White: Whitey played really well on the weekend. Some of his 50/50 contests and one-on-one stuff was really strong, particularly in critical contests. He had 15 possessions, one tackle and eight marks. Two or three of those marks were from opposition kicks, where he got himself into really good position and impacted the footy in the air. He was also able to close out his opponent really well. Whitey is growing and improving at a really good rate and he’s a pleasure to coach, because he follows instructions. He’s showing some really strong improvement, so he was one of our better players.

The weirdest thing about the new Jurassic World movie is that it is getting very good reviews with most saying it is finally a sequel worthy of the original first Jurassic Park film. Not sure I'm going to bother though. The next film I'm looking forward to taking a trip to the cinema to see is Ant Man.

I took my kids to see Mad Max Fury Road on Saturday... didn't need to use the grey matter, but it's a wild ride that made for a very enjoyable couple of hours.

A proof reader's nightmare.

I'm actually quietly confident that he will boot 5 this weekend against Port.

I think Hogan could get his bag of goals at any time... he's not building towards it, but rather he's waiting to get consistent quality delivery from the mids.

Max morphed into Robert Crumb, who along with Ralph Steadman, is one of my graphite wielding heroes.

A couple of my fave performers...

Yes... one of my favourites back in the day EH.

Alrightee then!

You are Tony Abbott??

That will be excellent... but too early to know if I can make it down for that. Thanks for the heads-up.

A couple of videos from Saturday night's Sports Reunion show at MEMO (via Carbie Warbie)... https://vimeo.com/127358560 (Wedding Ring) https://vimeo.com/127352191 (What Did the Detectives Say)

So, can it be concluded that sheep farmers are Dockers supporters?

Robbo not listed under Essendon? Also, David Bridie (Not Drowning, Waving and My Friend the Chocolate Cake) is a devoted Dee's supporter - renowned for his verion of It's a Grand Old Flag and the wonderful tune, "Jimmy Stynes".

I thought he was going to get a repetitive strain injury with all of the hand action he had going in that interview.

If you ever get the opportunity to see this guy, do not miss CW Stoneking...

Yes Rob, Steve Cummings (vocalist) and I went to Swinburne together in 1972 and I know Andrew Pendlebury through various other people and parties around Melbourne in the late 70's (not to mention that Andrew's father was the head of the art school at Swinnie when I was there doing Graphic Design). I'll give you a call when I get down there.

I agree... mods, can this post please be nailed to the top of this forum?

It's the main character from David Lynch's film Eraserhead... possibly one of the strangest and most disturbing movie ever made.

Rob... I'm down in Melbourne on Friday 8th May and heading along to see The Sports reunion performance on the Saturday night in St Kilda (which unfortunately clashes with the game against the Swans). Will head back on the Sunday, but am free to catch up on either Friday night or Saturday during the day. I'm staying in Sth Yarra. Glad you liked the song by the way.

We were rapt with the results DC. Camped most of the Casey game just near the sausage truck and enjoyed watching the game while chowing down... they really need a scoreboard though as at one point I was sure we were 3 goals down when we were actually 1 goal up! To then go over the footbridge to the Gee and see the way that game unfolded... heaven on a stick! In the Bradman (gate 5 entrance) just down toward the forward pocket so we had a close up view of the goals in the final quarter... I don't think I can ever recall seeing my son quite so animated... and I'm sure he'd be saying the same thing about me. Sat with a fellow D'land poster, the delightful Rob Mac and also popped in to say a quick hello to Pete (TDI) at the Memembership tent. All in all, a great day and a totally worthwhile trip to Melbourne...and what made it even better was the knowledge that it was pissing down with rain in Sydney while we were bathed in sunshine.

Ok, a quick one before I head off to the Casey v Collingwood prelude to the main game... Chet Baker's brilliant version of Elvis Costello's "Almost Blue"...

Haha... very clever.

Will be at the Gee as well...this is my son's birthday trip to Mlbourne to see the Dees, so he gets to see as much as possible. Footy overload tomorrow :-)
