We need a complete and unadulterated review of the gig !

He was resplendent in orange - and many of us in the audience also wore orange in support. On another note - Do you know of Steven Poltz ?

Ross Hannaford is quite ill and there were two benefit concerts last weekend at the Memo music hall in Melbourne - the who's who came out to play to help defray his medical bills. Hosted by Brian Nankervis - Paul Kelly, Black Sorrows, Linda Bull, Wilbur Wilde, Phil Rudd, the rest of the Daddy Cool but to name a few. Ross Hannaford opened the show and looked very frail but there was a wonderful outpouring of emotion for him. The highlight was probably Joe Camilleri - gee he gives when he performs. Disappointment - Ross Wilson - really acted like he didnt want to be there. ( at the table next to me were half of Sherbert - I managed to keep myself from throwing my panties at them)

I was in the cheer squad in the 70's - I had no 11 - Greg Wells on the back of my duffle coat. Can someone please tell me - who was the other person in the cheer squad ?

why would you be shot down ? The odds aren't with him but the good news is that the decision on him doesn't need to be made for at least 6 months.

I agree that odds aren't with him but talent is talent and Trengove's best form would put him above the four players ( based on their best form to date) I have mentioned.

You can only compare his best form to the best form of players in the current team. So he would replace Bail, Matt Jones, Newton and Riley. The $1M question is whether Trengove will ever play 120 minutes of football let alone return to his best. Trengove returning to his first two years form would be massive but what are the chances of that ?

I think I've jumped off the Jackie Watts Bandwagon.

I'm an unabashed Linkin Park fan so I like anything that Chester does. If anyone gets a chance in the future ( as the tour just finished) - Courtney Barnett is great live - she absolutely rocked the forum.

I have very eclectic taste in music but don't think I delve quite as wide as Hardtack. I go to about 1-2 gigs a week - new stuff and old. Very little I won't go and see. ( i draw the line at boys bands such as one direction !). I go to the caravan club a lot ( it is about 2km from me) and it always has very interesting stuff on - I mentioned I saw Pokey Lafarge - I had never heard of him but we had nothing on and i liked his name and the look of him on the website - my girlfriend even took her own car as she knew nothing about him and was sure she would leave early. We were blown away - best gig of the year. Seeing Steve Poltz and Ryan Adams I know pretty much zip about either of them. Seeing Dave Graney soon and trying to coax Hardtack on coming down to see him !

The voice is still ok. The antics - unchanged.

Jeff Duff ( ex Kush ) does Bowie shows around Melbourne

Saturday night - Courtney Barnett at the Forum - interesting to see how she translates live.

Tim.. Dave Graney is playing memo in August - doing The night of the wolverine beginning to end....

I support Melbourne but on field performances and a persecution complex caused by Demonland posters has me wavering.

mind officially blown - he was sensational - probably the best gig I have seen in a couple of years - if anyone can get down to the corner hotel tonight you will not be sorry.

Seeing Pokey Lafarge tomorrow night - should be interesting.....

don't you just hate that !

Unfortunately this is not accepted by many - there are some that think there is no guesswork. I actually don't care whether they raise the age or not. All I am suggesting is that what we see for 2 years at TAC under 18 level is nothing more than indication that can't possibly take into account both future physical development and maturity rates. There will always be late bloomers and there will be TAC guns that never develop much further than that. If we retrospectively reordered the first two rounds of every draft they would look nothing like the order in which the players were actually picked. We only moan about how it affects us but the reality is most players in the draft have either under or over achieved if you compare them to players taken before or after them.

Way too sensible for my liking. The "experts" also put the knock on Wines kicking - it looks more than fine to me. Until they raise the drafting age so we have more exposed form these mistakes will happen over and over again. Bontempelli, Wines, Dom Tyson's draft - GWS missed out Chad Wingard at 6 ! ( the effectively missed picking the best of the draft and trading out the equal best in Tyson !)

Spot on. I have asked a few times who would like to revise their thoughts on last years drafts but as yet no takers, History tells us that at least one of McCartin, Petracca or Brayshaw will turn out to be ordinary and there will be a much better player or two lower down the draft.

If you need to quote the "papers" then tell the whole story. The "papers" talked up Wines as Toumpas was not expected to be available at our pick. For that reason it was assumed that we would take Wines. The "papers" rated Toumpas higher. Then in the last week or so when it looked as if Toumpas may slip, he was then talked up as our obvious selection. We talk about conspiracy theories - there was one floated here that we overpaid for the Hogan underage pick with the understanding that GWS would let Toumpas slip through to our pick. It is because of Scully, Morton, Toumpas and countless others that I know hold the belief that the "papers" have little idea as to how these kids will turn out and are crystal balling. I wonder if the doggies are slashing their wrists over not picking Wines either. He is clearly the standout from that draft.

All Dazzles post highlighted is that TV considered Toumpas a better choice. If you are alluding to the JR post where he suggested that TV didn't pick Wines because he didn't want someone better than his son...you couldn't possibly be giving that theory oxygen. Patently ridiculous when you consider how many onballers that Viney has put forward to come into the club that could all be seen as competition for JV's place.

exactly - I count our blessing that for 2013 draft we traded our pick 2 for Tyson and Salem or we would be having a huge moanfest about "how on earth did we not take Bontempelli".

I think the simple reason is because Neeld is responsible for this and everything ( as well as the GFC, Ebola and man not actually landing on the moon. I also believe that Neeld's contract with Essendon has a retrospectivity clause in it so he can also be blamed for the systematic doping of their players)
