News Melbourne International Film Festival - Collingwood: From The Inside Out

[FireKrakouer]

I thought it may have been over hyped but watched on iview and it was perfection. Raw, honest, didn't even censor the swear words. A lot to think about from that one.

 

[unplugged]

Dunno about anyone else but I developed even more of a man crush on Grundy last night!

 

[grayza2018]

Gee pretty raw stuff, and kudos to Blairy for letting the cameras in for his exit meeting, that blew me away

Great doco

 

[Aishole]

Jesus. Anyone else cry like a little baby?

Couldn’t be prouder of this club and what Buckley has done. Im not even sure how but I love the 2019 version of Collingwood more then the 2010 version.

 

[Vicky Park]

On a side note, I believe the release of this doco has been brilliantly orchestrated by Eddie. To broadcast it prior to a Prelim final is genius. I believe he would have been behind it.

Think about it..

Mark, I think you’re a hard man to please. Underwhelming? Come on, surely you got more out of it than just De GOAT’s joke, even though I laughed at that too...

Yeah, husband said, that was one gigantic PR exercise for Collingwood. He was scoffing and making bored noises throughout.

Jealous.

You knew what you were doing at the time. It was your choice. You got yourself into this situation.

Even my Collingwood hating spouse was quite impressed by the club and Buckley - went so far as to give the doco a big thumbs up. As someone who is also in a “mixed marriage”, you have my sympathies

No I was pleased. But I heard a few comments about how buckley had got better. There was about 20 seconds which said a few comments about things going bad in the period before walsh's report, but it didnt really say much. I get the feeling that the club agreed to the film if it was going to be positive and concentrate on how well things were going. You comment about brilliantly orchestrated by eddie probably sums it up.... a nice piece of public relations

 

[Markfs]

btw... there was a lot of people crying in the flick. if you like a good cry like Adds, Brodie and me, you should rent bridges of madison country....i should get those two around for a screening...not a dry eye in the house

Have you thought about quietly sitting one of your Collingwood Garden Gnomes on his bedside table for him to wake up to on Friday morning?

 

[jathanas]

I cried before the 2 minute mark in the film, but then again I'm a bit of a sook. This is one of the better sports docos I've seen. It brought me closer to the human side of the club I love and am proud of. <3 CFC

 

[Vicky Park]

No, but you have just reminded me 76. Time to move the gnome to the front verandah, where he stays for the finals.

Replying to myself and not relevant to the thread, but here he is (complete with peeling paint on the wall of Vicky Park’s family villa):

[TheGreatGrundy]

i was watching the doco last night. It's on the ABC's iview. I must admit that I found it a little underwelming. I think Treloar's admission on 360 a few weeks back, took the steam out of his mental health issues. We've already heard a lot about buckley. Blair's issues were well known and Brodie was pretty much Brodie. I'm not kidding here but the biggest impression on me was de goey's joke ( technically at least ) about 5 minus 4. I stopped for a minute and thought about the difficulties of mixing jordies with brodies and try to build one united team.

I found the documentary anything but underwhelming. I totally disagree with your opinion and am surprised that none of the material presented truly surprised or touched you. Jordie's joke is one of the things I least recall from the documentary. You were pretty tough on wicksy in another thread but his reaction to the doco was certainly more in line with that expressed by other posters. Each to their own but it is a shame that the documentary had such little impact on you.

 

[Vicky Park]

Wabi sabi?

Same applies to his owner.

 

[Gone Critical]

Just watched it now and loved it. In general I don’t want to know about the players private lives but seeing something of them day to day and seeing how the combination of the game and their lives meshing together brings so many strains we don’t see was an eye opener

Loved Blairy from the moment I first saw him burrowing in at Princes Park in the VFL
as a teenager. Love him all the more now. What more can any one do that give everything they have. He got as close to that ideal as probably anyone when it comes to the Pies.

 

[FireKrakouer]

Gonna rock this "kintsugi" art as my avatar for the rest of the season. Floreat Pica!

 

[Gone Critical]

Someone looking down from above it seems. Prince Phillip is written all over this little sledge.

 

[Nebula1971]

Prelm? Its before the Qualifying Final

Wishful thinking on my part mate. I wish it was before Prelim as it means we would have already won, one or two finals.

You knew what I meant.

Am I confident we can get to a Prelim? Absolutely, but we will need to be at our best.

 

[76woodenspooners]

But I can look back now on one scene and have a bit of a giggle: Bucks using the analogy of 'kintsugi', the ancient Japanese art of repairing broken pots or ceramics, so that they look more beautiful after being fixed and showing their cracks and repairs, than when they were 'whole'. I love Japanese ceramics and have a small collection (but no 'kintsugi' pots) and to see Bucks talking about them was - to say the least - a bit different.

It was very interesting, and it polishes a presentation off nicely to make an interesting reference like that to another culture, or something that happened in a historical era ...

... something philosophical that can we can inform our own attitudes to the way we live life.

What I really do hope we get to see in the future is this kind of thing referencing indigenous culture (in all of society, not just Collingwood)

well at the risk of sounding glib, it was buckley who said in the documentary that the biggest change he had to make was to stop worrying about what others thought so I'm not that fussed about how others felt about the doco. wicky said something about not realising the players were human....that they wouldnt be passionate yada yada. I mean if he has learnt something in that area, what can i say that isnt uncharitable?

As for being hard on someone in this forum, at least that person has a right of reply. Some people get in here and mouth off about how players are useless and not trying etc etc and the players are supposed to cop it because they're professional. Honestly, I'm sick of the whole "passionate supporters who need to vent" thing. I'm not saying that you cant say anything against a player. You can even say that you think he should be dropped off the list, but there's ways to do it. Let me give an example. I think Ben Crocker should be dropped off the list. I can see that he's a great team man - similar to Jaryd Blair - and I recognise that he always gives 100% but I think we should replace him with someone who is more dynamic and with a bigger upside. I think i said that with respect because I do respect the guy. He has pushed his talent to being on an AFL list and it's a credit to him.

You are making less sense than usual?

 

[The Young Chevalier]

The documentary has reinforced to me how much of gun Nick Maxwell is, one of Collingwood's all time great men.
