Yeah , I can just see us all rockin up to the Premiere of ...................................."Demonlanders" ( The Movie )

I'll check "Performance" out as well - good reviews btw Always been a fan of off-beat humour - The Party , Evil Roy Slade and The Big Labowski are one's that I'd recommend .

Just watched the clip - ridiculously funny - and I've already managed to get a hold of the movie ( tomorrow ) - ah what a quick world we live in ! Btw - what is this particular thread about anyway ? Hope I haven't hijacked it ! I'm "Johnny-new-boy" - don't wanna get banned too quickly !

I'll check it out - cheers !

Yeah the British Bands were the Kings - esp that psychedelic / progressive rock era - Small faces , Badfinger , Procol Harum , Moody Blues - too many to mention - fantastic era for Rock

Wow - that's gotta be a classic memory ! Can't imagine anything like that happening now though I stand to be corrected - great stuff Don't have too many regrets but couda / shouda / wouda done the "Sunbury" thing in my youth .

I was just a tad too young for a lot of the sixties bands stuff - which is a shame really cos it was a great era - though Thorpie , The Easybeats , Chain and lots of others are firmly etched in the memory - How about "The Groove" - Australia's 1st "Supergroup ! "

Random off subject comment - If ya like "Curb your enthusiasm" try "Lead Balloon" with Jack Dee . Oh , and the doco about "Exile on Main St" is on again - one of the foxtel music stations in early November - well worth a watch .

Correction John Elliott - Mr t

Kennett will possibly be the new "John Elliot" The media always need a "go to" man . He'll end up being an embarrassment to himself - if that's possible !

Yeah , every dog has his day . 2004 - We played finals after a 14/8 season - whilst the Hawks were busy tanking - they lost 12 of their last 14 games And picked up Buddy and Roughy in that years draft - love reminding my Hawk mates of that one - tarnished 2008 flag !? We'll be strong again soon enough - Kennett is now an irrelevance .

In that same link he had some interesting things to say about Garry Lyon - another foot in mouth effort me thinks .

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-08-04/afl-lenient-over-tanking-allegations3a-kennett/2824594/?site=melbourne Kennett stooped to his lowest level when he tried to win points at our Jimmy's expense - see above link I sent a nice little email to the Hawthorn fc to let him know how I felt - I'm not expecting a xmas card back !

Which players are uncontracted ? Thanks in advance I like the way Joel Mac goes about it but he might be in trouble .

Fair enough - I just don't like excuses - esp in advance . If you are right and it does sap the players energy too much , I still reckon you just get on with it .

We've rarely won 2 games in a row in the last 5 years so I'm not so sure it's a Darwin thing anyway I hear the whole "saps you're energy bit" but I don't buy it . We've been a club in the last 5 years that gets the odd win and we all know what happens then .............. Neeld and his crew will change the mentality

Oh , ok - my bad ! Anyway it's always Port then yeah ? That'll do .

You're right and there lies the conundrum - how do come to an amicable end ? Esp with so much money in the game now - I know if I was a player I wouldn't want it to end but if somebody like Barassi or Stynes sat me down then ..............................

Totally agree - we shouldn't be worried at all about a new frontier - Embrace it Wouldn't it be good if opposition teams and fans were fearful about playing us in Darwin . As a club we need to be innovative and think outside the square a bit more - bring it on . I see playing 2 games rather than 1 a huge advantage esp if we play teams that aren't used to the conditions .

Why were they ugly exits ? Ask the club - they were the people involved - that's gonna have to do you ! As I've said before - my observation was that we've had too many ugly exits - "The why" is a club issue . Don't agree with you at all re Johnno . Btw - I've got no problem with ANY player of any club trying to maximise their income at the end of their careers - often players get paid "Unders" at the start of their career's - you're a long time retired ( in most sports )

Good sides win anywhere - we should be able to travel and win - it's just another footy ground in my eyes . Never seemed to bother the Eagles and the Crows in the 90's or the Lions in the early 2000's . Don't believe in hoodoo's etc - it's rot - just win .

We're getting nowhere here - agree to disagree time

Yze , Robbo , Junior , Bruce , Trav - all ugly exits - I could name others but you'll probably tear strips off them . The Ox your only example - any other ugly exits pre 2007 ? Trav a dweeb ? What is a dweeb ? Somebody who plays pinball ? Great player btw and won us many games . Btw - are there any past players that you like ?

Observation .

Yeah ya right about our list - probably the end of 2005 really if ya think about it . Back to Bruce ! I'm done unless ....................
