Boomer was probably the final remnant.

I mean any club?

....Higgins no...Port boys no

JB commentating...Scotts melting...Ben B looking cluelessly on the Bench...good times

7up?

Which series?

Looking at the ages/dates, would be 42 UP.

Saw up to about 21 UP years ago in the SBS/VHS days.

With the invention of the internet in 2019 watched the lot of them from scratch and noticed this little quirk.

Nope. Thinking that our oldest players are Higgins and our homeboys.

It's good to know the young fella who didn't want to eat his vegetables would one day move to Australia and acquire very good taste.

Later on when he's showing the other guy from the orphanage around Melbourne Zoo - English guy is sporting a North cap.

Marley at Collingwood?

Marley at Collingwood?

I misread the ****ing question...

Marley was left out of both Collingwood squads in 2010.

 

[Jabba the Trump]

Well technically perhaps no...there was the ‘7 Up series’

(Jennie Brockie did some Pov shows on the legal system in the mid 90’s that were ahead of the times. I remember the one on Redfern Cops that was a huge controversy at the time. But I don’t know if that counts as reality tv.)

7 Up was (and is) documentary and not what we now refer to as reality tv. Likewise, all of the fly-on-the-wall style of programs that evolved in the 90s.

I suggest that the original statement is correct - reality tv in its current form more or less began with Survivor and that came after our last grand final appearance.

That's pretty insulting for them to make a point of excluding him.

Especially when he didn't join their list for another 2 years.

I was busy digging a hole to crawl into so I didn't pay attention.

I am not disputing that and I don’t think the Mod cared either but yeh you’re right but keep splitting those hairs

Sorry if I've offended you but it was just meant as an informed observation. As it happens, I once worked in that particular area, and it is an important distinction for many.

If I can state the glaringly obvious, Mitchell and Patton coming into the Hawks this year will likely make them a much more potent proposition...

Good spot - Paul I think his name is.

I do recall watching an episode from the 80's when he'd first moved to Australia and he had on the tele what appeared to be a Hawthorn v * GF so figured he'd become a footy fan.

Depends what Patton is capable of producing. 3 knee recos?

Quite a few clubs starting to get with hit injuries in the new year. Just glad none of our boys have picked up any serious ailments. Let's hope it stays that way!

Those were the days, when you got injured from the act of "getting with".

 

[Caracas]

Unfortunately, our “get with hits” are probably just around the corner.
