    Intraclub Games?

    I'm 43 and I'll never forget the moment Yablett took that mark. I was padded up and making my first grade debut in my first game for my new club against Western Suburbs in the Brisbane district competition. Our opponents were known as World Series Wests due to having most of the Qld bowling...

    FA Cup Fourth Round

    Hopefully we'll have Hammond & Lallana fit for the tie with N'Guessan eligible for his first appearance for Saints. The vultures will no doubt be looking over the form of Oxlade-Chamberlain against Premier opposition and it will be interesting to see how he handles the pressure. Nigel is...

    I have one thing to say!!

    Good call, SK, we have to remember this is a work in progress. To all the nay-sayers, believe it or not, there were some very promising signs yesterday. The inside 50 count, for one, was 53 to 47 in our favour - which means we were winning our fair share of the ball and being able to get it...

    Ryan Bastinac

    Basta's instincts and ability to read play are very impressive for a third game player. I can't wait to watch his improvement as he gets more experience playing against the game's top players. JZ's game had me excited as well. I know there were some loose touches, but it looks to me as though...

    Brad Scott in The Age

    This is a ripping thread. Without seeing the full transcript of the Scott interview, I'm of the opinion that the author (Gleeson) has jumped on one of Scott's comments and really tried to ram home the whole distancing the club from the Shinboner tag. To me, Scott is only trying to achieve what...

    Wally, such an inspired performance of a seminal song. Another favourite of mine is the footage featured in the documentary, "The Road To God Knows Where", of the band performing the song in a radio studio, virtually sans instruments (Thomas Wydler provides percussion by beating his hands...

    HHamish McLachlan has a very punchable head

    After post #34, all I can say is - I'll have what Funky's having. Cold Medina's, perhaps... On the subject of punchable heads, is possible to get a two for one offer going and add Mark Nicholas to the hit list?

    Ha ha, Groggy, can you imagine that the Lubricated Goat footage you are talking about comes from their performance of In The Raw shot for the late '80's ABC show, Blah Blah Blah (featuring a very young Andrew Denton)? Needless to say that Media Watch was inundated with complaints from self...

    Johnny Thunders live - that is so cool! What are your memories of the gig and was Jerry Nolan on the tour? Speaking of cool, loved The Dead Boys covering one of my all time favourite bands, The Stooges. Pity there's pretty much no footage of The Stooges in their heyday around, save for...

    I thrashed the living daylights out of my cassette of Brute Force & Ignorance by Exploding White Mice in my poxy walkman going to and from uni. Fear was such a wicked side 1 track 1 and whenever I hear that funny beeping noise thing that always kicked off tapes (something seldom heard...

    Talk about a band who loved their covers - The D4 always threw some gems into their sets. I couldn't find the D4 covers on Youtube, so here are the originals GEeU5OJhMNY&feature=related pmVCdPe2_Ao BTW, great news about the new TMOC album. Funny, I remember the liner notes in their box...

    Haha, you mentioned some words near and dear to my heart - NZ guitar bands and Flying Nun Records!:thumbsu: I returned to Brisbane for 20 months between 2004 and 2005 and sounded out the good folk at Triple Zed about whether they needed any help with announcers. The host of the New Zealand...

    Cheers BS, I look forward to getting my hands on a copy when next I'm out record shopping! In the meantime (to quote one of their inferior contemporaries), I recall you mentioning something about being a fan of this almighty band from Adelaide, TMOC: wEU0bc9Jrw0|

    Apologies TOD, I've now gone back through the earlier posts and found the kind words both you and Black Shadow have written about the Tribesmen. I was fortunate enough in my time as an announcer on 4ZZZ in Brisbane to be put on the door for some cracking gigs and even though both bands have...

    Geez, you guys have brought the memories flooding back. The Sunnyboys were excellent and I can still remember getting home from school one day and seeing them on Simon Townsends Wonder World! Here's another band that rocked the young Tex' world, the Screaming Tribesmen. Unfortunately I...
