00:00:00,339 --> 00:00:03,089
(dramatic music)
2
00:00:24,379 --> 00:00:27,129
(birds chirping)
3
00:00:31,331 --> 00:00:33,557
(coughing)
4
00:00:33,557 --> 00:00:36,390
(heavy breathing)
5
00:01:16,628 --> 00:01:20,295
- 'Bout time you need
to call a cab, Laurie.
6
00:01:39,477 --> 00:01:42,227
(faint speaking)
7
00:01:55,936 --> 00:01:57,103
- [Man] 45:05.
8
00:01:58,835 --> 00:02:02,585
Six, seven, eight, nine,
ten, eleven, twelve,
9
00:02:05,685 --> 00:02:08,018
thirteen, fourteen, fifteen.
10
00:02:10,856 --> 00:02:11,689
45:20.
11
00:02:13,573 --> 00:02:16,075
(heavy breathing)
12
00:02:16,075 --> 00:02:16,908
45:25.
13
00:02:21,613 --> 00:02:22,446
45:30.
14
00:02:25,578 --> 00:02:26,411
- Shit.
15
00:02:26,411 --> 00:02:27,578
- [Man] 45:35.
16
00:02:30,666 --> 00:02:31,499
45:40.
17
00:02:34,232 --> 00:02:36,904
(faint speaking)
18
00:02:36,904 --> 00:02:38,464
- Yes, Ted, I have most of, in fact,
19
00:02:38,464 --> 00:02:39,904
I think all of the details.
20
00:02:39,904 --> 00:02:42,019
They're, uh, all here.
21
00:02:42,019 --> 00:02:44,352
Sit on the end there, Geoff.
22
00:02:46,043 --> 00:02:47,583
Right around, fellas.
23
00:02:47,583 --> 00:02:49,070
Over there, Frank, if you don't mind.
24
00:02:49,070 --> 00:02:49,903
Good, thanks.
25
00:02:51,460 --> 00:02:53,200
- How's the Mrs, Jim?
26
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,048
- Oh, not back, Jock, not bad.
27
00:02:55,048 --> 00:02:57,965
(friendly chatter)
28
00:03:00,990 --> 00:03:04,587
- Right gentlemen, let's
get down to business.
29
00:03:04,587 --> 00:03:06,240
We think the price you're
asking for young Geoff
30
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,880
is outrageous, but we want
the lad so we're gonna pay it.
31
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,652
- Well if you hadn't,
there's others who would.
32
00:03:10,652 --> 00:03:11,485
He's the best player to come out
33
00:03:11,485 --> 00:03:13,043
of Tasmania since Darrel Baldock.
34
00:03:14,670 --> 00:03:16,850
- [Jock] What are you studying, Geoff?
35
00:03:16,850 --> 00:03:17,900
- Economics.
36
00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:19,040
- Ah, I don't really hold with
37
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,160
young blokes going to university,
38
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,490
puts some funny ideas in their heads.
39
00:03:23,490 --> 00:03:24,990
Not going to interfere
with your football, is it?
40
00:03:24,990 --> 00:03:26,890
- He came over to play football, Jock.
41
00:03:26,890 --> 00:03:28,240
Anything else comes second.
42
00:03:30,270 --> 00:03:33,070
- This club has a great tradition, Geoff.
43
00:03:33,070 --> 00:03:34,930
We've never had to pay big
money for players before
44
00:03:34,930 --> 00:03:36,490
because every kid in the
country wanted to play for us
45
00:03:36,490 --> 00:03:38,760
just for the honour of wearing our jersey.
46
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:39,770
- Those days are gone, Jock.
47
00:03:39,770 --> 00:03:42,163
- I know they're gone,
but the kid should know!
48
00:03:42,163 --> 00:03:44,460
This club has a proud tradition.
49
00:03:44,460 --> 00:03:45,310
- Oh yeah?
50
00:03:45,310 --> 00:03:48,193
You haven't won a bloody
premiership for 19 years.
51
00:03:52,150 --> 00:03:53,963
- Sign here on the last page, Geoff.
52
00:04:28,190 --> 00:04:31,150
- How much of this money
actually goes to me?
53
00:04:31,150 --> 00:04:32,250
- Well it's quite a complicated thing--
54
00:04:32,250 --> 00:04:33,450
- How much, essentially?
55
00:04:34,530 --> 00:04:37,253
- Upwards of $20,000,
plus your yearly contract.
56
00:04:40,090 --> 00:04:41,520
- It's not enough.
57
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,735
- What do you mean, Geoff?
58
00:04:42,735 --> 00:04:43,568
It's a great deal!
59
00:04:43,568 --> 00:04:44,401
- Yeah, for you.
60
00:04:44,401 --> 00:04:45,234
You get most of the money!
61
00:04:45,234 --> 00:04:46,067
- What is this?
62
00:04:46,067 --> 00:04:46,900
We agreed on the price weeks ago!
63
00:04:46,900 --> 00:04:49,030
- Come on, Geoff, the club
always gets the bulk of the cash!
64
00:04:49,030 --> 00:04:49,863
- Yeah, well I wanna a better
65
00:04:49,863 --> 00:04:51,147
deal than this or I won't sign.
66
00:04:51,147 --> 00:04:52,330
- Oh, this is bloody lovely!
67
00:04:52,330 --> 00:04:54,010
We've players over here with more expense
68
00:04:54,010 --> 00:04:56,272
than they put in the entire
bloody Moscow State Circus
69
00:04:56,272 --> 00:04:57,360
and you can't even deliver the goods!
70
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:58,193
- Oh get off it, Jock!
71
00:04:58,193 --> 00:04:59,293
We didn't know the kid was
pulling something like this!
72
00:04:59,293 --> 00:05:01,910
- Knowing you, Frank, you
probably put him up to it.
73
00:05:01,910 --> 00:05:03,167
- Oh Jesus, Jock, I'll
drop you, I tell you!
74
00:05:03,167 --> 00:05:06,078
- Amateurs, you plod about
like bloody amateurs!
75
00:05:06,078 --> 00:05:08,350
- Just sign the bloody thing!
76
00:05:09,407 --> 00:05:10,493
- What sort of business is it if you can't
77
00:05:10,493 --> 00:05:11,777
deliver the goods, and don't try--
78
00:05:11,777 --> 00:05:13,590
- Listen, I'm warning
you, shut up, shut up!
79
00:05:13,590 --> 00:05:14,423
- Calm down!
80
00:05:14,423 --> 00:05:16,580
Can we establish a new
negotiating perspective?
81
00:05:16,580 --> 00:05:17,470
- Just sign the thing, Geoff!
82
00:05:17,470 --> 00:05:18,303
It's as good a deal--
83
00:05:18,303 --> 00:05:19,690
- Not until I get more money!
84
00:05:19,690 --> 00:05:21,090
- [Ted] How much more money?
85
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,073
- 10,000.
86
00:05:28,100 --> 00:05:30,433
- We're at the upper limit
of our authorizations.
87
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,723
- Yes, but we don't want
to lose the boy, Gerry.
88
00:05:37,610 --> 00:05:38,760
I'll pay it personally.
89
00:05:56,044 --> 00:05:59,127
(players chattering)
90
00:06:15,946 --> 00:06:19,481
- Why didn't you have the guts to tell me?
91
00:06:19,481 --> 00:06:22,070
I don't care how good
this Geoff Hayward is,
92
00:06:22,070 --> 00:06:24,870
it's crazy to spend all our money on a kid
93
00:06:24,870 --> 00:06:26,530
who hasn't proven himself
in the big league!
94
00:06:26,530 --> 00:06:28,520
- Look Laurie, I was a
coach of this club myself
95
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,110
for 15 years, I know talent when I see it.
96
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:33,430
Oh, this kid's gonna
make you eat your words.
97
00:06:33,430 --> 00:06:34,800
- You'd better be right, Jock.
98
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,443
You just better be right!
99
00:06:41,250 --> 00:06:45,160
Right fellas, this is our
new boy, Geoff Hayward.
100
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,900
I want ya to make him feel welcome.
101
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:49,683
(clapping)
102
00:06:49,683 --> 00:06:51,383
- 120,000 for that rabbit.
103
00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:53,333
- Suck.
104
00:06:53,333 --> 00:06:55,610
- Alright, now there's no need to tell you
105
00:06:56,540 --> 00:06:58,340
that all the skill in the world
106
00:06:58,340 --> 00:07:00,000
isn't gonna help you in this game
107
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,100
unless you've got one thing, and that is?
108
00:07:02,100 --> 00:07:03,139
- [All] Guts.
109
00:07:03,139 --> 00:07:04,184
- [Laurie] Come on, I didn't hear it!
110
00:07:04,184 --> 00:07:05,100
- [All] Guts!
111
00:07:05,100 --> 00:07:05,933
- Right!
112
00:07:06,810 --> 00:07:08,210
Two groups, 20 metres apart.
113
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,810
Alright, Geoff against Tank.
114
00:07:23,540 --> 00:07:24,373
- Beauty.
115
00:07:26,620 --> 00:07:27,773
- I hope he's insured.
116
00:07:35,002 --> 00:07:36,283
Oh, shit.
117
00:07:37,789 --> 00:07:38,733
- [Laurie] Come on, Geoff, you'll have
118
00:07:38,733 --> 00:07:39,566
to do better than that.
119
00:07:39,566 --> 00:07:42,066
This isn't Tasmania, you know!
120
00:07:45,551 --> 00:07:47,468
- Go on, Tank, get him.
121
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:51,473

00:10:05,333 --> 00:10:06,250
- Back off!

- [Laurie] Watch it!

the highest paid recruit
168
00:10:12,150 --> 00:10:13,690
in the history of league football
169
00:10:13,690 --> 00:10:16,203
coming out from under
wraps, how will he go?
170
00:10:17,353 --> 00:10:20,390
- I don't wanna talk about
the individuals, Lou.
171
00:10:20,390 --> 00:10:23,580
- [Lou] But you must have
a lot of faith in the lad.
172
00:10:23,580 --> 00:10:26,170
- Laurie, if you paid as much as you're
173
00:10:26,170 --> 00:10:28,210
supposed to pay for this recruit,
174
00:10:28,210 --> 00:10:30,590
I reckon you're out of
your crazy little minds.
175
00:10:30,590 --> 00:10:33,430
You're paying these fellas,
they're March champions, and--
176
00:10:33,430 --> 00:10:36,550
- [Lou] Hey, wait a minute,
Jack, what's a March champion?
177
00:10:36,550 --> 00:10:38,500
- [Jack] A March champion
comes down in March,
178
00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:40,800
practises amazing practise game,
179
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,870
shows a lot of potential, then disappears.
180
00:10:42,870 --> 00:10:44,177
I've seen 'em come and go.
181
00:10:44,177 --> 00:10:49,177
(crowd chattering)
(happy music)
182
00:10:58,290 --> 00:11:01,710
- Alright, now before
the season's even started
183
00:11:01,710 --> 00:11:03,860
we've had the sports writers on our backs,
184
00:11:03,860 --> 00:11:08,580
telling us we're no good,
that we're has-beens, hacks,
185
00:11:08,580 --> 00:11:11,650
and that we haven't got the chance in hell
186
00:11:11,650 --> 00:11:13,267
of getting into the finals.
187
00:11:13,267 --> 00:11:14,270
(players muttering)
188
00:11:14,270 --> 00:11:15,340
Alright!
189
00:11:15,340 --> 00:11:17,140
Now I'll tell you something.
190
00:11:17,140 --> 00:11:19,500
Those bastards are gonna
choke on their words!
191
00:11:19,500 --> 00:11:20,977
Right!
192
00:11:20,977 --> 00:11:22,438
Get up there and get out!
193
00:11:22,438 --> 00:11:25,521
(players chattering)
194
00:11:27,031 --> 00:11:28,823
- Appears there's a
capacity crowd here today,
195
00:11:28,823 --> 00:11:31,023
round about 45,000 people,
and young Hayward'll
196
00:11:31,023 --> 00:11:33,230
will be certainly under
plenty of pressure, won't he?
197
00:11:33,230 --> 00:11:35,180
- Yes, about $120,000 worth, I believe.
198
00:11:35,180 --> 00:11:36,700
- I'd say so, and if he makes a mistake
199
00:11:36,700 --> 00:11:38,760
he'll have this entire crowd on his back.
200
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,310
- And the committee, I'd think.
201
00:11:41,250 --> 00:11:42,780
- [Announcer] There's the
bounce, down she goes.
202
00:11:42,780 --> 00:11:43,953
In comes Jones for the knock out.
203
00:11:43,953 --> 00:11:45,460
Hayward moving around there, too,
204
00:11:45,460 --> 00:11:47,710
as the ball is knocked out by Jones.
205
00:11:47,710 --> 00:11:50,180
The ball down towards
Carlton's halfback line
206
00:11:50,180 --> 00:11:51,013
and Collingwood going to attack now
207
00:11:51,013 --> 00:11:52,866
as they send the ball well down there.
208
00:11:52,866 --> 00:11:54,639
But there's a good mark to Edwin,
209
00:11:54,639 --> 00:11:57,060
a very good mark indeed.
210
00:11:57,060 --> 00:11:59,370
Ashton ready now to send
the ball back into attack.
211
00:11:59,370 --> 00:12:01,360
Across the centre half forward position.
212
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,700
Gets around his opponent very nicely.
213
00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:05,103
The ball's shot back up there towards
214
00:12:05,103 --> 00:12:06,053
the half back player.
215
00:12:06,053 --> 00:12:08,135
Hayward coming across,
goes for the plunge.
216
00:12:08,135 --> 00:12:09,810
It's a good one, but
it's to the wrong man,
217
00:12:09,810 --> 00:12:12,073
and Carlton goes back into attack again.
218
00:12:12,073 --> 00:12:13,919
Galwood's coming to
the half forward line--
219
00:12:13,919 --> 00:12:15,026
- He's coming on.
220
00:12:15,026 --> 00:12:15,859
- [Announcer] There to Edwards.
221
00:12:15,859 --> 00:12:16,692
- [Man] Punch it, punch it!
222
00:12:16,692 --> 00:12:17,525
- [Announcer] He's looking
there now for Hayward
223
00:12:17,525 --> 00:12:18,358
to give a handpass to, which he does.
224
00:12:18,358 --> 00:12:20,500
But Hayward's got a touch of the fumbles.
225
00:12:20,500 --> 00:12:21,577
He goes down for the count.
226
00:12:21,577 --> 00:12:23,530
- Don't give ground for Christ's sake!
227
00:12:23,530 --> 00:12:24,363
Get back in there and try again.
228
00:12:24,363 --> 00:12:25,196
- So Collingwood's still struggling there
229
00:12:25,196 --> 00:12:26,180
on that half forward as we see Carlton
230
00:12:26,180 --> 00:12:27,920
pick the ball up through Johnson.
231
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,180
A lovely handpass going over
to Brown who's going for goal,
232
00:12:31,180 --> 00:12:33,030
and I think it may be
through for six points.
233
00:12:33,030 --> 00:12:34,593
Yes, it's a goal for Carlton,
234
00:12:34,593 --> 00:12:37,040
and they're looking
mighty good at the moment.
235
00:12:41,230 --> 00:12:42,471
Johnson's amazing.
236
00:12:42,471 --> 00:12:43,822
Let's see the start of the bounce again.
237
00:12:43,822 --> 00:12:44,655
There she goes.
238
00:12:44,655 --> 00:12:46,641
(crowd cheering)
239
00:12:46,641 --> 00:12:48,508
And that's Collingwood going into attack
240
00:12:48,508 --> 00:12:50,150
or trying to get themselves
back into attack,
241
00:12:50,150 --> 00:12:51,170
but they're finding it difficult.
242
00:12:51,170 --> 00:12:54,330
Down towards their half forward
line, Magrow in front there.
243
00:12:54,330 --> 00:12:56,760
Couldn't quite hold the
mark, it hits the ground now.
244
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,260
A chance for Collingwood's
Moore to crash through the pack,
245
00:12:59,260 --> 00:13:00,830
and look at him go, this big bloke.
246
00:13:00,830 --> 00:13:03,737
He can't get himself, he's gone
without the ball that time.
247
00:13:03,737 --> 00:13:05,340
He lost sight of it completely.
248
00:13:05,340 --> 00:13:06,173
You certainly can't do that in football
249
00:13:06,173 --> 00:13:08,350
if you wanna be a success.
250
00:13:08,350 --> 00:13:10,060
A chance for Collingwood to come back now,
251
00:13:10,060 --> 00:13:10,945
but are they good enough?
252
00:13:10,945 --> 00:13:13,193
Out there on the halfback flank is Daicos.
253
00:13:13,193 --> 00:13:15,003
Thrust there to Haywood,
he goes for the mark.
254
00:13:15,003 --> 00:13:16,955
He closes his eyes!
255
00:13:16,955 --> 00:13:19,080
He should have a seeing eye dog out there,
256
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,943
as we see McCullough give a handpass
257
00:13:20,943 --> 00:13:22,693
over there to his teammate Brown.
258
00:13:22,693 --> 00:13:24,370
Brown's gonna move away from the pack,
259
00:13:24,370 --> 00:13:26,290
and once again we see Carlton get the ball
260
00:13:26,290 --> 00:13:27,810
up there towards their forward line.
261
00:13:27,810 --> 00:13:29,660
This is Milan stepping around Moore.
262
00:13:29,660 --> 00:13:30,493
He's dropped the ball,
263
00:13:30,493 --> 00:13:31,488
but Moore's got a good arm on him.
264
00:13:31,488 --> 00:13:32,321
- Oh, please!
265
00:13:32,321 --> 00:13:33,810
- [Announcer] In comes
Shaw to try and pick it up
266
00:13:33,810 --> 00:13:35,580
and clear it out of the danger zone.
267
00:13:35,580 --> 00:13:37,040
He's down, but not quite out.
268
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,750
He stumbles, he fumbles, and now he turns
269
00:13:39,750 --> 00:13:42,083
looking for a mate to
handpass the ball to.
270
00:13:42,083 --> 00:13:43,360
Over it goes to Haywood,
271
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:44,793
but he's got a touch of the fumbles,
272
00:13:44,793 --> 00:13:48,353
and (speaking drowned out by jeering).
273
00:13:48,353 --> 00:13:51,110
He loses the ball, and he's stuffed.
274
00:13:51,110 --> 00:13:53,520
- 120,000 for what?
275
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:54,667
- [Announcer] I bet they
(crowd drowns out speaking).
276
00:13:55,613 --> 00:13:57,210
Collingwood's not looking good at all.
277
00:13:57,210 --> 00:13:59,983
- Get Haywood off and put Simpson on.
278
00:14:02,740 --> 00:14:05,630
- I see that Holden's got Simpson
279
00:14:05,630 --> 00:14:06,800
warming up on the bench down there.
280
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,673
Looks like they might take someone off.
281
00:14:10,060 --> 00:14:11,960
Well he's going out on the ground now.
282
00:14:12,979 --> 00:14:13,812
- Who's it gonna be?
283
00:14:13,812 --> 00:14:15,415
- I think it's Haywood.
284
00:14:15,415 --> 00:14:17,205
Yes, it's Haywood,
they're dragging him off.
285
00:14:17,205 --> 00:14:18,210
And that's one for the book,
286
00:14:18,210 --> 00:14:19,043
because halfway through the first quarter
287
00:14:19,043 --> 00:14:21,063
they drag off their top recruit.
288
00:14:21,980 --> 00:14:23,296
By golly, there'll be hell to pay
289
00:14:23,296 --> 00:14:24,325
in the dressing rooms tonight.
290
00:14:24,325 --> 00:14:25,158
I'd hate to be there.
291
00:14:25,158 --> 00:14:28,825
(crowd yelling and jeering)
292
00:14:37,398 --> 00:14:41,065
(whistle shrieking faintly)
293
00:14:45,616 --> 00:14:50,616
Back in this game, there's
Johnson driving through the pack.
294
00:14:51,941 --> 00:14:56,441
Now it goes to McCullough,
and how is that for a mark?
295
00:14:58,215 --> 00:14:59,945
And once again Carlton drives the ball
296
00:14:59,945 --> 00:15:02,833
up toward their forward position.
297
00:15:02,833 --> 00:15:05,852
(crowd cheering)
298
00:15:05,852 --> 00:15:10,769
But the goals are raining here
at the moment for the Blues.
299
00:15:17,613 --> 00:15:20,220
- What's the meaning of
taking Geoff Haywood off?
300
00:15:20,220 --> 00:15:22,557
- What's the meaning of you
telling me how to run the game?
301
00:15:22,557 --> 00:15:24,110
- I'm the president of this club, Laurie,
302
00:15:24,110 --> 00:15:26,967
and if I've got an opinion
to express, I'll express it!
303
00:15:26,967 --> 00:15:28,000
- Not to me!
304
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,090
Not during a game!
305
00:15:29,090 --> 00:15:32,247
Now get outta here and let
me get on with the job!
306
00:15:32,247 --> 00:15:33,647
- Sign this for me, okay?
307
00:15:33,647 --> 00:15:36,480
(kids chattering)
308
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,493
- Laurie, we're getting
persistent rumours, mate,
309
00:15:47,493 --> 00:15:49,800
that there's strife within
the club over Geoff Haywood.
310
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:50,633
Would you care to comment?
311
00:15:50,633 --> 00:15:51,970
- No, Scott.
312
00:15:51,970 --> 00:15:53,630
- Well why was Ted
Parker in the coaches box
313
00:15:53,630 --> 00:15:54,860
during the first match, Laurie?
314
00:15:54,860 --> 00:15:56,260
- Because it's hard for some people
315
00:15:56,260 --> 00:15:57,250
to stop sticking their noses in
316
00:15:57,250 --> 00:15:59,200
where they're not wanted, isn't it, eh?
317
00:16:00,404 --> 00:16:01,237
- If the kid--
318
00:16:01,237 --> 00:16:04,070
- No comment, just leave it alone.
319
00:16:16,943 --> 00:16:19,530
- I think, I think it's
better to stay cool, Gerry.
320
00:16:19,530 --> 00:16:20,984
Don't you think, better to stay cool?
321
00:16:20,984 --> 00:16:21,817
- Ted!
322
00:16:21,817 --> 00:16:22,897
(tyres squealing)
323
00:16:22,897 --> 00:16:25,183
(speaking in foreign language)
324
00:16:25,183 --> 00:16:26,280
- If you stay as cool as you are now,
325
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,717
you'll wipe us both out!
326
00:16:41,190 --> 00:16:42,890
Thanks for coming, Laurie.
327
00:16:42,890 --> 00:16:44,020
The committee thought
we oughta thresh this
328
00:16:44,020 --> 00:16:46,220
thing out privately
before we took any action.
329
00:16:46,220 --> 00:16:47,500
- Fine.
330
00:16:47,500 --> 00:16:48,720
I shouldn'ta said anything to the press.
331
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,693
But what I did say, I meant.
332
00:16:51,890 --> 00:16:54,580
- The committee, naturally, is very upset
333
00:16:54,580 --> 00:16:57,350
about those press statements,
334
00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:58,330
but they don't wanna have to ask
335
00:16:58,330 --> 00:16:59,780
for your resignation, Laurie.
336
00:17:00,798 --> 00:17:02,850
You're one of the best
coaches this club's ever had.
337
00:17:02,850 --> 00:17:05,680
We'd find it almost
impossible to replace you.
338
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,743
The club's going through a
slump, but nobody's blaming you.
339
00:17:09,743 --> 00:17:11,220
- I should bloody well hope not.
340
00:17:11,220 --> 00:17:12,780
- Holy Jesus, Laurie, there's no need
341
00:17:12,780 --> 00:17:14,840
to be totally self-righteous.
342
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,120
When a team is playing as
badly as ours is playing,
343
00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:19,360
most coaches would be willing
to accept some of the blame!
344
00:17:19,360 --> 00:17:20,700
- Ted.
345
00:17:20,700 --> 00:17:22,590
- You know, it really makes me wonder
346
00:17:22,590 --> 00:17:24,620
whether there's any point
to this whole exercise.
347
00:17:24,620 --> 00:17:26,940
We come to you in a spirit of conciliation
348
00:17:26,940 --> 00:17:29,450
and you jump down our throat
at the first opportunity.
349
00:17:29,450 --> 00:17:30,830
- The committee is very angry about
350
00:17:30,830 --> 00:17:31,787
those press statements, Laurie.
351
00:17:31,787 --> 00:17:33,430
- What's my sin, Laurie?
352
00:17:33,430 --> 00:17:34,580
What's my crime?
353
00:17:34,580 --> 00:17:36,140
All I can gather from this article
354
00:17:36,140 --> 00:17:38,910
is some vague accusation
that I'm autocratic!
355
00:17:38,910 --> 00:17:40,043
- All I said is some people stick their
356
00:17:40,043 --> 00:17:41,660
nose in where it's not wanted.
357
00:17:41,660 --> 00:17:43,760
They made the rest up themselves.
358
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,795
- If I have opinions I'll
express them, Laurie!
359
00:17:45,795 --> 00:17:46,628
- Ted, come on.
360
00:17:46,628 --> 00:17:48,296
- I was elected by the members
of this club to lead it.
361
00:17:48,296 --> 00:17:50,960
Now I'm sick of
pussy-footing around, Gerry.
362
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,320
He's called me autocratic,
363
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:53,669
he just didn't come up
with the same words.
364
00:17:53,669 --> 00:17:54,842
- Well I wouldn't know where to start.
365
00:17:54,842 --> 00:17:55,675
- You think we could continue
this discussion upstairs?
366
00:17:55,675 --> 00:17:56,508
- I know what he resents.
367
00:17:56,508 --> 00:17:57,990
He resents the fact that I've got
368
00:17:57,990 --> 00:18:00,150
a level-headed business
approach to the club
369
00:18:00,150 --> 00:18:01,840
and that that approach is gonna pay off.
370
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,040
He'd like to take us back to the days
371
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,300
of the glorious club tradition.
372
00:18:05,300 --> 00:18:06,133
- [Laurie] Rubbish!
373
00:18:06,133 --> 00:18:07,800
- It's no good waiting for
players to come to you.
374
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,010
You've gotta go out into the
marketplace and fight for 'em.
375
00:18:10,010 --> 00:18:11,020
- I've been asking the committee
376
00:18:11,020 --> 00:18:14,170
to buy players for years, and you know it!
377
00:18:14,170 --> 00:18:16,170
Don't give me a lecture about tradition.
378
00:18:17,210 --> 00:18:18,870
- Alright, so why are we fighting?
379
00:18:18,870 --> 00:18:22,333
- Because you're buying
the wrong bloody ones!
380
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,160
- Where's all that spirit we had
381
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,980
when I was elected last year?
382
00:18:28,980 --> 00:18:30,473
It cannot have evaporated.
383
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:34,610
Remember my election slogan,
the great leap forward?
384
00:18:34,610 --> 00:18:36,360
Boom or bust?
385
00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:37,193
What happened?
386
00:18:37,193 --> 00:18:38,026
- [Danny] We bust!
387
00:18:40,030 --> 00:18:40,880
- What do you want?
388
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,570
- The players would like
their point of view heard
389
00:18:42,570 --> 00:18:44,510
before the committee
makes any move on Laurie.
390
00:18:44,510 --> 00:18:46,550
- The players can go to
hell, come on, Gerry.
391
00:18:46,550 --> 00:18:48,620
- And always could as far
as you're concerned, Parker!
392
00:18:48,620 --> 00:18:49,630
And we'd just like the committee to know
393
00:18:49,630 --> 00:18:51,540
that we're 100% behind Laurie!
394
00:18:51,540 --> 00:18:53,100
- Well you can just go
and tell the players
395
00:18:53,100 --> 00:18:55,300
that the committee are 100% behind me!
396
00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:56,610
- Well then perhaps the
committee had better
397
00:18:56,610 --> 00:18:58,560
roll up on Saturday and play the match!
398
00:18:59,470 --> 00:19:00,783
- What's that meant to mean?
399
00:19:00,783 --> 00:19:01,616
- Ted.
400
00:19:01,616 --> 00:19:02,640
- It means if that
bloody committee of yours
401
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,500
gives Laurie the boot, then
we go on strike next Saturday.
402
00:19:05,500 --> 00:19:07,080
- Delightful, a strike threat.
403
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,222
- It's no threat, we mean it!
404
00:19:09,222 --> 00:19:10,958
- Calm down, mate, and go home.
405
00:19:10,958 --> 00:19:11,791
- Did you hear that,
Gerry, a strike threat?
406
00:19:11,791 --> 00:19:12,624
- Let's go upstairs.
407
00:19:12,624 --> 00:19:13,457
- There'll be no strike.
408
00:19:13,457 --> 00:19:14,410
- I should bloody well hope not!
409
00:19:14,410 --> 00:19:15,458
- Come on, calm down!
410
00:19:15,458 --> 00:19:16,390
- Because that's the
way to get the community
411
00:19:16,390 --> 00:19:17,577
already with us (mumbling).
412
00:19:18,889 --> 00:19:19,722
- Ted, for Christ's sake.
413
00:19:19,722 --> 00:19:20,660
- No, the next thing you know there'll be
414
00:19:20,660 --> 00:19:23,500
a stop work meeting every time
the umpire blows his whistle.
415
00:19:23,500 --> 00:19:25,204
- How can he run a team with you
416
00:19:25,204 --> 00:19:26,880
sticking your nose in every week?
417
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:27,713
- Stick my nose in?
418
00:19:27,713 --> 00:19:29,044
I don't stick my nose in.
419
00:19:29,044 --> 00:19:31,030
- It's not your job to
pick the bloody team.
420
00:19:31,030 --> 00:19:32,750
- Well I don't, I'm not on
the selection committee.
421
00:19:32,750 --> 00:19:35,010
- No, but you take two-thirds
of 'em into the bar
422
00:19:35,010 --> 00:19:37,290
and talk for four hours
every Wednesday night.
423
00:19:37,290 --> 00:19:39,100
- Jock and Tony, but so what?
424
00:19:39,100 --> 00:19:40,359
The team's barely discussed.
425
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,000
- (laughing) Well that's not what I heard.
426
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,780
- Laurie, have you ever thought that I've
427
00:19:43,780 --> 00:19:46,060
tried to influence the
selection of the team?
428
00:19:46,060 --> 00:19:46,893
- Yes.
429
00:19:47,972 --> 00:19:49,270
- What, when?
430
00:19:49,270 --> 00:19:50,890
- You told Jock and Tony that
431
00:19:50,890 --> 00:19:52,990
Geoff Hayward was not to be dropped.
432
00:19:52,990 --> 00:19:54,420
- I didn't tell him any such thing!
433
00:19:54,420 --> 00:19:55,687
- Danny, this is confidential.
434
00:19:55,687 --> 00:19:58,163
- I'm not allowed to express an opinion?
435
00:19:59,300 --> 00:20:00,850
Geoff's struggling to
perform at the moment,
436
00:20:00,850 --> 00:20:03,350
and you and your mates
and Laurie aren't helping.
437
00:20:03,350 --> 00:20:04,650
You're making him feel about as welcome
438
00:20:04,650 --> 00:20:06,560
as a blowfly at a butcher's picnic.
439
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,000
- Oh, I'm sorry.
440
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,700
We had planned to all give him a big kiss,
441
00:20:09,700 --> 00:20:10,670
but we thought he'd be in a hurry
442
00:20:10,670 --> 00:20:12,180
to get home and count his money.
443
00:20:12,180 --> 00:20:13,930
- My God, if you're trying to tell me
444
00:20:13,930 --> 00:20:15,440
the team's playing badly because
445
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,560
it's still sulking over a bit of money
446
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,070
that went into the pocket of a legitimate
447
00:20:19,070 --> 00:20:20,850
champion then I'm disgusted.
448
00:20:20,850 --> 00:20:22,890
- There are a lot of legitimate
champions in this club,
449
00:20:22,890 --> 00:20:24,370
Parker, and all we got for joining
450
00:20:24,370 --> 00:20:26,400
was a guernsey and a pat on the back!
451
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:27,837
I've given the club over
10 years of my life,
452
00:20:27,837 --> 00:20:29,880
and all I've got in the bank is $80.
453
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,310
- Well then you must be a
hell of a far spender, Rowe.
454
00:20:32,310 --> 00:20:34,070
You're on a bloody good
contract and you're
455
00:20:34,070 --> 00:20:36,010
due for your provident
fund when you retire.
456
00:20:36,010 --> 00:20:37,530
- Oh, I can hardly wait.
457
00:20:37,530 --> 00:20:39,290
Take my two best mates to the Pizza Palace
458
00:20:39,290 --> 00:20:40,710
and put the other half in the bank.
459
00:20:40,710 --> 00:20:41,860
- Danny, you've left us no doubt
460
00:20:41,860 --> 00:20:43,160
as to the player's point of view,
461
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,980
but could we talk about
this some other time?
462
00:20:45,980 --> 00:20:47,940
- Sorry I'm late, what are you doing here?
463
00:20:47,940 --> 00:20:49,409
- Oh, he just dropped in to tell us
464
00:20:49,409 --> 00:20:52,860
that if we take any action over Laurie,
465
00:20:52,860 --> 00:20:54,860
the players will go on strike.
466
00:20:54,860 --> 00:20:56,453
- Strike?
467
00:20:56,453 --> 00:20:57,390
(mumbling) the bastards strike.
468
00:20:57,390 --> 00:20:58,700
I've never heard anything
like it in me life!
469
00:20:58,700 --> 00:20:59,850
Who's involved?
470
00:20:59,850 --> 00:21:01,110
Give me their names.
471
00:21:01,110 --> 00:21:02,380
No one's gonna hold this club for ransom,
472
00:21:02,380 --> 00:21:03,420
I'll suspend the lot of ya.
473
00:21:03,420 --> 00:21:04,400
Who else is involved?
474
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,390
- Everyone, except Geoff Hayward.
475
00:21:07,390 --> 00:21:08,340
It'll give him a chance to show
476
00:21:08,340 --> 00:21:10,170
what a real champion he is.
477
00:21:10,170 --> 00:21:12,530
- This is a disgusting and
a despicable threat, Danny.
478
00:21:12,530 --> 00:21:15,470
I've played 282 game for this club,
479
00:21:15,470 --> 00:21:17,260
and every time I ran out onto that ground
480
00:21:17,260 --> 00:21:18,459
I felt as honoured to be out there
481
00:21:18,459 --> 00:21:20,450
wearing my club colours as
I did the very first time!
482
00:21:20,450 --> 00:21:22,040
- Calm down, Jock!
483
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,590
They'll be out there playing on Saturday,
484
00:21:23,590 --> 00:21:25,190
no matter what happens, and you know it.
485
00:21:25,190 --> 00:21:27,620
- Oh God, I never thought
I'd live to see the day
486
00:21:27,620 --> 00:21:30,490
when I'd hear the work
strike uttered in this room.
487
00:21:30,490 --> 00:21:32,380
Look at them pictures up there, Danny.
488
00:21:32,380 --> 00:21:33,630
Danny, I'm talkin' to ya.
489
00:21:34,490 --> 00:21:38,060
Look, Cheetah Ryan, the
greatest centre man of all time.
490
00:21:38,060 --> 00:21:39,970
Warren Oates, only 5'7",
491
00:21:39,970 --> 00:21:42,220
but with a heart as big as a pumpkin.
492
00:21:42,220 --> 00:21:46,070
Mike Lenner, Jerry Dunstin, Sandy Forbes.
493
00:21:46,070 --> 00:21:48,280
Great names from a great club.
494
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,061
And you've got the
honour and the tradition
495
00:21:50,061 --> 00:21:52,680
that they created restin'
right there in your hands.
496
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:53,890
- And the crap from the present
497
00:21:53,890 --> 00:21:55,880
administration right up our nostrils!
498
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,930
- Don't get too cocky, Rowe.
499
00:21:57,930 --> 00:22:00,260
Any player found guilty
of a gross misdemeanour
500
00:22:00,260 --> 00:22:02,970
can lose every cent of his provident fund.
501
00:22:02,970 --> 00:22:03,890
- Bullshit!
502
00:22:03,890 --> 00:22:05,010
- It's true isn't it, Gerry.
503
00:22:05,010 --> 00:22:05,843
- No.
504
00:22:05,843 --> 00:22:06,676
Now can we please get back to--
505
00:22:06,676 --> 00:22:08,080
- You know what I wanna do?
506
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:09,720
I wanna turn every one
of them pictures around
507
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:10,900
so they don't have to look down
508
00:22:10,900 --> 00:22:12,350
on this whole shameful scene.
509
00:22:13,450 --> 00:22:14,930
How would Harry Payne feel if he knew
510
00:22:14,930 --> 00:22:17,610
that the word strike
was being bandied around
511
00:22:17,610 --> 00:22:18,820
in this hallowed room?
512
00:22:18,820 --> 00:22:20,020
Just tell me that, eh?
513
00:22:20,020 --> 00:22:20,853
How would he feel?
514
00:22:20,853 --> 00:22:23,748
I mean, the man who kicked
three super-human goals
515
00:22:23,748 --> 00:22:26,081
(mumbling).
516
00:22:27,972 --> 00:22:28,805
I wouldn't be surprised if he's
517
00:22:28,805 --> 00:22:30,530
turnin' in his grave right now!
518
00:22:30,530 --> 00:22:31,890
- [Danny] He isn't even dead!
519
00:22:31,890 --> 00:22:33,377
- Harry?
520
00:22:33,377 --> 00:22:35,050
I went to his funeral last year.
521
00:22:35,050 --> 00:22:36,300
- That was Harry Tralore.
522
00:22:38,620 --> 00:22:39,870
- Shit yeah.
523
00:22:39,870 --> 00:22:42,640
Well, there's so many of 'em
dropping off I get confused.
524
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,670
But it doesn't alter my argument.
525
00:22:44,670 --> 00:22:46,250
Dead or alive, what's happened here today
526
00:22:46,250 --> 00:22:48,320
is a disgrace to their memories.
527
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,843
Them players up there on
the wall loved this club.
528
00:22:49,843 --> 00:22:52,450
They would have done anything for it.
529
00:22:52,450 --> 00:22:53,390
Why, during the depression they
530
00:22:53,390 --> 00:22:54,720
practically played for nothing.
531
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,490
- Then they were stupid!
532
00:22:56,490 --> 00:22:58,720
Look, if I'm going out there
to risk a fractured skull
533
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,730
or a ruptured spleen for
the amusement of a pack
534
00:23:00,730 --> 00:23:02,850
of overweight drunks
in the grandstand bar,
535
00:23:02,850 --> 00:23:04,210
then I wanna get paid for it!
- Overweight drunks!
536
00:23:04,210 --> 00:23:06,260
Oh, so that's what you think
of your supporters, eh?
537
00:23:06,260 --> 00:23:07,900
Well just for your information,
538
00:23:07,900 --> 00:23:10,290
I had two of the country's top businessmen
539
00:23:10,290 --> 00:23:11,960
watching the match with me last week,
540
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,420
and just by the way, they
were drinking tomato juice.
541
00:23:15,420 --> 00:23:16,910
- Yeah, well if you'd
been there since morning
542
00:23:16,910 --> 00:23:18,800
that's probably all that was left.
543
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,150
- Just watch yourself, Rowe!
544
00:23:20,150 --> 00:23:21,710
You're not indispensable around here!
545
00:23:21,710 --> 00:23:22,760
- What's that meant to mean?
546
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,170
- You're 29 and slowing down.
547
00:23:24,170 --> 00:23:26,340
You only had 12 kicks and
four hand balls last week.
548
00:23:26,340 --> 00:23:27,960
- First time I've dropped
under 20 disposals
549
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:28,880
since the start of the season.
550
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:29,890
- It's the first time you found
551
00:23:29,890 --> 00:23:31,310
yourself on a classy opponent.
552
00:23:31,310 --> 00:23:32,769
- Everyone gets beaten
once in a while, Parker!
553
00:23:32,769 --> 00:23:33,707
- Danny, you played a good game.
554
00:23:33,707 --> 00:23:35,430
Now don't let him needle you.
555
00:23:35,430 --> 00:23:36,370
- Really, gentlemen--
556
00:23:36,370 --> 00:23:37,203
(speakers drown each other out)
557
00:23:37,203 --> 00:23:39,330
- For 10 years, game in, game out.
558
00:23:39,330 --> 00:23:40,163
- Just calm down.
559
00:23:40,163 --> 00:23:42,440
- The first time I have
a bad day, he's on to me.
560
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:43,340
Well what gives you the right
561
00:23:43,340 --> 00:23:45,410
to sit in judgement on me, you fat turd?
562
00:23:45,410 --> 00:23:46,243
Go get back
- Don't you talk
563
00:23:46,243 --> 00:23:47,643
to me like that!
- to the pie factory!
564
00:23:47,643 --> 00:23:48,640
- Calm down!
565
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,750
- Danny, you've given
the club great service,
566
00:23:50,750 --> 00:23:52,220
and only a fool would deny it.
567
00:23:52,220 --> 00:23:54,090
- Oh, he's allowed to call me a drunk,
568
00:23:54,090 --> 00:23:55,870
I'm not allowed to tell
him he's played a bad game?
569
00:23:55,870 --> 00:23:56,990
- Shut up, Ted, or I'll thump ya.
570
00:23:56,990 --> 00:23:57,980
- Yes, for Christ sakes.
- Jesus Christ!
571
00:23:57,980 --> 00:23:59,950
- Can we start on the
real business of the day?
572
00:23:59,950 --> 00:24:02,348
Danny, perhaps it would be
better if you waited outside.
573
00:24:02,348 --> 00:24:04,770
You've left us in no doubt
as to the player's point
574
00:24:04,770 --> 00:24:06,610
of view and it will be taken into account.
575
00:24:06,610 --> 00:24:08,180
- Yeah, well when
something definite happens
576
00:24:08,180 --> 00:24:09,528
the players want to be notified!
577
00:24:09,528 --> 00:24:11,283
- Hey, phone you straight away.
578
00:24:17,901 --> 00:24:18,920
- I need a drink.
579
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,028
- Me too.
580
00:24:20,028 --> 00:24:21,090
- You just watch the way you
581
00:24:21,090 --> 00:24:22,480
speak to me in the future, Parker.
582
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,630
Otherwise, you'll end
up gettin' flattened!
583
00:24:27,070 --> 00:24:28,730
- Well that's lovely.
584
00:24:28,730 --> 00:24:30,620
A player threatens the
president of the club
585
00:24:30,620 --> 00:24:32,560
with physical violence
and nobody says a word.
586
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:33,710
- Ah, shut up, Ted.
587
00:24:33,710 --> 00:24:35,500
You're lucky he didn't slug ya.
588
00:24:35,500 --> 00:24:36,780
You gotta be bloody tactful when
589
00:24:36,780 --> 00:24:38,665
a player's getting on in years.
590
00:24:38,665 --> 00:24:41,320
You ever played the game
yourself you'd know.
591
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:42,640
I remember Tommy Roberts took me
592
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,870
apart in the '39 Grand Final.
593
00:24:44,870 --> 00:24:47,010
When I got home, Dulcie says to me,
594
00:24:47,010 --> 00:24:49,200
I think you've met your match, today.
595
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,393
So I thumped her one.
596
00:24:51,390 --> 00:24:54,300
She apologised later, but
by then the damage was done.
597
00:24:54,300 --> 00:24:56,440
- Look, can we forget about strikes,
598
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,530
forget about Danny, and
get down to settling
599
00:24:58,530 --> 00:25:00,630
this dispute between Laurie and Ted.
600
00:25:00,630 --> 00:25:03,710
- Oh, I was wondering when
we'd get around to that.
601
00:25:03,710 --> 00:25:06,070
Now the first thing I
want understood by Ted
602
00:25:06,070 --> 00:25:08,070
and everyone else around here is that
603
00:25:08,070 --> 00:25:10,970
I will handle the team and Geoff Hayward
604
00:25:10,970 --> 00:25:14,060
in my own way without interference.
605
00:25:14,060 --> 00:25:17,310
- It's not your place to be
handing out ultimatums, Laurie.
606
00:25:17,310 --> 00:25:19,740
The committee's on the point
of demanding your resignation.
607
00:25:19,740 --> 00:25:20,573
- Look, either I--
608
00:25:20,573 --> 00:25:21,880
- What's this about Geoff Hayward?
609
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:22,713
He'll come good.
610
00:25:22,713 --> 00:25:25,080
- We do have a problem with him, Jock.
611
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,407
He's openly defying Laurie to
the point of coming to blows.
612
00:25:28,407 --> 00:25:29,952
- Who told you that?
613
00:25:29,952 --> 00:25:31,360
- I've been keeping my ear to the ground.
614
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:32,260
- That's lovely, coming to blows.
615
00:25:32,260 --> 00:25:34,090
- That why you wanted
him down in the reserves?
616
00:25:34,090 --> 00:25:35,690
- I wanted him in the reserves because
617
00:25:35,690 --> 00:25:37,628
he was playing atrociously in the seniors.
618
00:25:37,628 --> 00:25:40,060
- Well you could have
told me that, Laurie.
619
00:25:40,060 --> 00:25:41,150
No sense having one of your men
620
00:25:41,150 --> 00:25:43,117
play up on you, you ought to know that.
621
00:25:43,117 --> 00:25:44,970
Had to lay you out behind
the lockers in your
622
00:25:44,970 --> 00:25:47,720
first year before I
got any sense outta ya.
623
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,133
- Well those sort of
methods don't work anymore.
624
00:25:50,133 --> 00:25:52,680
- Yeah, so why are you
using them on Geoff?
625
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:53,940
- I made a mistake.
626
00:25:53,940 --> 00:25:56,690
- Bullshit, a good
stomp never hurt anyone.
627
00:25:56,690 --> 00:25:58,440
- If your relationship with Geoff
628
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,440
has deteriorated to the
point of fisticuffs,
629
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,420
then you've got no damn right on insisting
630
00:26:02,420 --> 00:26:03,930
on handling the problem yourself.
631
00:26:03,930 --> 00:26:06,550
- Either I handle it or I resign!
632
00:26:06,550 --> 00:26:07,970
- Laurie.
633
00:26:07,970 --> 00:26:09,420
Laurie, the committee is insisting
634
00:26:09,420 --> 00:26:11,260
on a joint press statement to the effect
635
00:26:11,260 --> 00:26:14,320
that you and Ted have
settled your differences.
636
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,083
- Well the committee can get stuffed!
637
00:26:18,950 --> 00:26:19,873
- Laurie!

00:26:32,439 --> 00:26:35,472

646

Leaves his wife and kids for
some Avis Rent-A-Car sheila.
647
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,294
I'll tell ya what, Dulcie,
none of these players
648
00:27:05,294 --> 00:27:07,673
these days have got one
ounce of moral fibre.
649
00:27:26,860 --> 00:27:27,985
- Relax.
650
00:27:27,985 --> 00:27:28,818
- Bastard.
651
00:27:28,818 --> 00:27:30,620
Didn't give me a chance.
652
00:27:30,620 --> 00:27:31,720
- What does it matter?
653
00:27:33,070 --> 00:27:34,020
- Stuff him.
654
00:27:34,020 --> 00:27:35,779
Stuff the club.
655
00:27:35,779 --> 00:27:37,120
They've treated me like
shit ever since I arrived,
656
00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:39,123
so why should I bloody well bother?
657
00:27:42,022 --> 00:27:43,920
- You're just being exploited, anyway.
658
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,993
It's not a game, it's a business.
659
00:27:47,430 --> 00:27:49,220
Here, try some of this.
660
00:27:49,220 --> 00:27:50,053
It'll calm you.
661
00:27:52,410 --> 00:27:53,243
- Why not?
662
00:28:02,172 --> 00:28:06,089
♪ So let your hair down slowly ♪
663
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,450
- Do you know what I've been thinking?
664
00:28:10,450 --> 00:28:13,500
Let's stop trying to appease
the bastard and sack him.
665
00:28:13,500 --> 00:28:14,479
- It's a tempting thought.
666
00:28:14,479 --> 00:28:15,660
- Then why don't we do it?
667
00:28:15,660 --> 00:28:17,020
- It's difficult to replace a coach
668
00:28:17,020 --> 00:28:18,590
during the season, and he knows it.
669
00:28:18,590 --> 00:28:20,630
- We're gonna sack him at
the end of the year anyway,
670
00:28:20,630 --> 00:28:21,480
why don't we do it now?
671
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:22,736
- We're gonna try to sack him.
672
00:28:22,736 --> 00:28:23,810
- Good evening.
673
00:28:23,810 --> 00:28:24,643
- Good evening.
674
00:28:25,500 --> 00:28:26,910
He hasn't exactly been
a failure, you know.
675
00:28:26,910 --> 00:28:29,660
We've only been out of the
finals once in eight years.
676
00:28:29,660 --> 00:28:31,270
- Yeah, well right now
we're second from the bottom
677
00:28:31,270 --> 00:28:32,730
with three straight losses.
678
00:28:32,730 --> 00:28:34,920
Laurie, Laurie's a dead duck.
679
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:35,753
- [Arthur] Good evening, Mr. Parker.
680
00:28:35,753 --> 00:28:37,943
- Good evening, Sir Arthur, Lady Mary.
681
00:28:39,290 --> 00:28:41,240
- They say he was a great player.
682
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,210
- Oh yes, and my aunt makes great scones,
683
00:28:43,210 --> 00:28:45,000
it doesn't mean she
should run a cake factory.
684
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,210
If he stays he's gonna
have to apologise to me.
685
00:28:47,210 --> 00:28:48,043
- He won't.
686
00:28:48,043 --> 00:28:48,876
- In the press!
687
00:28:48,876 --> 00:28:49,853
- He won't, so be reasonable.
688
00:28:51,190 --> 00:28:53,961
The best we can hope for
is a joint press statement
689
00:28:53,961 --> 00:28:55,280
to the affect that you've
settled your differences.
690
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,644
- He can apologise or resign, Gerry!
691
00:28:57,644 --> 00:28:58,477
Good evening.
692
00:28:58,477 --> 00:28:59,310
- [Man] Having a good time?
693
00:28:59,310 --> 00:29:00,540
- [Gerry] Good evening.
694
00:29:00,540 --> 00:29:01,497
We gonna strike enough trouble when we
695
00:29:01,497 --> 00:29:03,410
try to get rid of him at
the end of the season.
696
00:29:03,410 --> 00:29:05,414
- I don't see why, not
the way he's performing.
697
00:29:05,414 --> 00:29:07,090
- [Gerry] Alright, alright,
so let him keep going,
698
00:29:07,090 --> 00:29:07,923
let him keep on losing,
we'll get rid of him
699
00:29:07,923 --> 00:29:10,632

- [Announcer] And it's Moore against Lee.
720
00:30:04,130 --> 00:30:05,910
This time Moore gets the knock out.
721
00:30:05,910 --> 00:30:07,653
But Ronnie Wearmouth gets
a touch of the fumbles,
722
00:30:07,653 --> 00:30:09,570
couldn't pick the ball up.
723
00:30:09,570 --> 00:30:11,930
In chips Wood of Richmond,
picks the ball up nicely,
724
00:30:11,930 --> 00:30:13,600
goes for a hand pass again.
725
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:14,433
Back to Ray.
726
00:30:14,433 --> 00:30:16,400
Here's another hand pass
coming over to Barford.
727
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:17,980
Barford moves across very nicely
728
00:30:17,980 --> 00:30:19,320
towards that forward pocket.
729
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,557
He's on the boundary line, he lets fire.
730
00:30:21,557 --> 00:30:24,267
(mumbling), but not a very good one,
731
00:30:24,267 --> 00:30:25,800
and it goes through for a point.
732
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,580
So we wait now for the fullback Stuart
733
00:30:27,580 --> 00:30:29,730
to kick the ball back into play.
734
00:30:29,730 --> 00:30:31,244
Collingwood's not playing
too well at the moment.
735
00:30:31,244 --> 00:30:33,180
- Laurie, the committee is digging its
736
00:30:33,180 --> 00:30:35,123
heels in over this press release.
737
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:37,380
They feel we've gotta do something
738
00:30:37,380 --> 00:30:39,290
to restore the club's image.
739
00:30:39,290 --> 00:30:43,543
- If I back down now, Gerry,
Ted's only going to get worse.
740
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:45,990
I won't be told how to do my job
741
00:30:45,990 --> 00:30:48,160
by the owner of some meat pie factory
742
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,760
who's never played the game
of football in his life!
743
00:30:52,070 --> 00:30:54,280
- Laurie, I know how
difficult it must be for you,
744
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,320
but Ted is the president of the club,
745
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,623
elected by the members,
and we're stuck with him.
746
00:31:00,623 --> 00:31:01,706
- Watch this.
747
00:31:08,270 --> 00:31:09,892
- [Announcer] Ray Shaw
gives a nice handpass
748
00:31:09,892 --> 00:31:11,164
over there towards Hayward.
749
00:31:11,164 --> 00:31:12,510
He's hopeless!
750
00:31:12,510 --> 00:31:13,800
He's even so frustrated he threw
751
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,253
a punch at one of the Richmond players!
752
00:31:15,253 --> 00:31:17,040
And now back it goes to McMiller,
753
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,057
he gets it clear, and drives it--
754
00:31:21,180 --> 00:31:22,600
- I can't have the president of the club
755
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,080
telling me that I've gotta keep a man
756
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,745
who is playing like that in my team.
757
00:31:26,745 --> 00:31:29,412
(door thumping)
758
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,210
- The reason that Ted is
so touchy about Geoff is,
759
00:31:36,210 --> 00:31:37,280
and I'd appreciate it if you kept
760
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,810
this absolutely confidential,
is that he kicked in
761
00:31:40,810 --> 00:31:43,210
10,000 out of his own
pocket to help by buy him.
762
00:31:44,655 --> 00:31:46,490
- He must have money to burn!
763
00:31:46,490 --> 00:31:47,327
- He hasn't now.
764
00:31:48,220 --> 00:31:50,470
His firm's about to go bankrupt.
765
00:31:50,470 --> 00:31:52,420
- Don't expect me to cry.
766
00:31:52,420 --> 00:31:53,870
I thought that stuff I said in the press
767
00:31:53,870 --> 00:31:55,870
might embarrass him into resigning.
768
00:31:55,870 --> 00:31:56,840
- Embarrass?
769
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,033
You can't embarrass Ted Parker.
770
00:32:00,060 --> 00:32:01,880
- The other day I called
him a cunning little rodent,
771
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,970
he took it as a compliment.
772
00:32:03,970 --> 00:32:06,460
Look Laurie, I'm gonna tell you something
773
00:32:06,460 --> 00:32:09,010
in the strictest confidence.
774
00:32:09,010 --> 00:32:10,860
You can afford to be generous to Ted,
775
00:32:11,780 --> 00:32:14,764
because he's not gonna be
around here much longer.
776
00:32:14,764 --> 00:32:16,870
- What, because of the bankruptcy?
777
00:32:16,870 --> 00:32:19,290
- Financial incompetence
is no disqualification
778
00:32:19,290 --> 00:32:20,990
for high office around this place.
779
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,580
No, he's really gone and
got himself into hot water.
780
00:32:25,580 --> 00:32:27,260
- What's he done?
781
00:32:27,260 --> 00:32:29,733
- Can't tell you anything,
except it's dynamite.
782
00:32:32,180 --> 00:32:33,430
- You're absolutely sure?
783
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:35,873
- Absolutely sure.
784
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,840
- I won't have you coming and
telling me how to run my game!
785
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,230
- I was only saying what everyone else
786
00:32:55,230 --> 00:32:56,100
on the ground was thinking.
787
00:32:56,100 --> 00:32:57,540
- Well I'm the one that on the spot,
788
00:32:57,540 --> 00:32:59,270
and I'm the one who knows exactly
789
00:32:59,270 --> 00:33:01,330
what my men can and can't do,
790
00:33:01,330 --> 00:33:04,313
and I don't appreciate
interference from amateurs!
791
00:33:05,810 --> 00:33:07,083
- Alright, alright.
792
00:33:08,570 --> 00:33:11,383
What sort of thing do you wanna
say in our press statement?
793
00:33:14,810 --> 00:33:17,610
- Just that we're prepared to
keep working with each other.
794
00:33:17,610 --> 00:33:19,710
- Jesus, Laurie, I want
a bit more than that!
795
00:33:19,710 --> 00:33:23,960
I wanna slip in fruitful and
harmonious in there somewhere.
796
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,060
You called me autocratic
in the press last week,
797
00:33:26,060 --> 00:33:29,150
don't you think that calls
for some kind of retraction?
798
00:33:29,150 --> 00:33:32,480
- The fact that I will
say that we can still
799
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,400
keep working with each other
will be virtually a retraction.
800
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:36,233
- No, it won't.
801
00:33:36,233 --> 00:33:38,990
All that means is that you
still think I'm autocratic,
802
00:33:38,990 --> 00:33:41,360
but you're prepared to sit it out.
803
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,810
- Well that wouldn't be
too far wide of the mark.
804
00:33:45,509 --> 00:33:49,407
- Laurie, we shouldn't
be arguing like this.
805
00:33:51,030 --> 00:33:53,380
I've always been one of
your greatest admirers.
806
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,190
Remember the day you
played your first game?
807
00:34:00,190 --> 00:34:01,553
- Of course.
808
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,837
- You'd just turned 17 three
days before, or was it 18?
809
00:34:06,989 --> 00:34:07,822
- 17.
810
00:34:08,807 --> 00:34:10,760
- It was quite an extraordinary feeling
811
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,373
right round the ground.
812
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,000
We all knew we'd come
to see the first game
813
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,993
of a great new champion, by
God you didn't disappoint us.
814
00:34:19,370 --> 00:34:20,970
Do you remember your first kick?
815
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:24,037
- Not all that well.
816
00:34:24,037 --> 00:34:25,363
- Oh, it was magic.
817
00:34:26,240 --> 00:34:30,840
I was standing on almost this,
yes, this exact same spot.
818
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,993
I can see it as clearly as
if it was a video replay.
819
00:34:37,153 --> 00:34:40,900
You read the play and started
sprinting for the goal,
820
00:34:40,900 --> 00:34:43,500
picked up a long low
pass from Wally Baker,
821
00:34:43,500 --> 00:34:47,610
did a beautiful flying
turn around Stan Jackson,
822
00:34:47,610 --> 00:34:49,860
and slammed it through
the centre (laughing).
823
00:34:50,990 --> 00:34:55,150
I'd go out on a limb and say it's the best
824
00:34:55,150 --> 00:34:57,650
first game that's ever
been played on this ground.
825
00:34:59,410 --> 00:35:00,243
- Thanks.
826
00:35:00,243 --> 00:35:01,076
- No, I mean it.
827
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,083
And I've seen every game this
club's played since I was six.
828
00:35:07,190 --> 00:35:09,277
Up until the time I was 12 or so,
829
00:35:09,277 --> 00:35:11,283
I used to cry every time we lost.
830
00:35:13,860 --> 00:35:16,300
If we won, I went home
and booted the football
831
00:35:16,300 --> 00:35:18,240
around the backyard in the dark,
832
00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:20,860
trying to remember every kick of the match
833
00:35:20,860 --> 00:35:22,510
and pretending I was in the side.
834
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,810
By the time I was 16, I could hardly
835
00:35:25,810 --> 00:35:27,653
hold my place in the school thirds.
836
00:35:30,580 --> 00:35:32,280
- We've all got different talents.
837
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,890
- I would like to put
fruitful and harmonious
838
00:35:37,890 --> 00:35:39,982
somewhere in our press statement, Laurie.
839
00:35:39,982 --> 00:35:43,732
- (laughing) You're a tryer.
840
00:35:45,130 --> 00:35:49,551
Alright, fruitful and
harmonious, but that's it!
841
00:35:49,551 --> 00:35:50,384
- Great.
842
00:35:52,502 --> 00:35:53,335
Great.
843
00:36:05,810 --> 00:36:07,044
- Jock in?
844
00:36:07,044 --> 00:36:08,144
- [Man] He's in there.
845
00:36:13,790 --> 00:36:14,623
- G'day.
846
00:36:15,470 --> 00:36:17,850
- What are you doing here, Laurie?
847
00:36:17,850 --> 00:36:19,810
- Want a bit of information.
848
00:36:19,810 --> 00:36:20,643
- You know, I've been thinking about
849
00:36:20,643 --> 00:36:22,840
that problem you're
having with young Geoff.
850
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,071
I wonder, have you ever
tried talking to the lad?
851
00:36:25,071 --> 00:36:26,438
- I'll handle him in my own way.
852
00:36:26,438 --> 00:36:28,249
- Well, I used to talk to my blokes.
853
00:36:28,249 --> 00:36:29,830
It always used to pay off.
854
00:36:29,830 --> 00:36:30,890
Remember Lofty Lou?
855
00:36:30,890 --> 00:36:32,390
Jesus, the worst damn bloke I ever saw
856
00:36:32,390 --> 00:36:33,840
when he first come to this club.
857
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,230
He talked back to me, wouldn't do what
858
00:36:35,230 --> 00:36:36,810
he was told on the field or off.
859
00:36:36,810 --> 00:36:38,890
A real bloody nightmare, he was.
860
00:36:38,890 --> 00:36:41,280
So, I sat him down, looked
him straight in the eye.
861
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,540
Heh, you had to sit him
down to look him in the eye.
862
00:36:44,540 --> 00:36:45,690
Well, I said to him, righto, Lofty,
863
00:36:45,690 --> 00:36:48,560
what is it that's worrying you, ol' son?
864
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,280
He just broke down and cried.
865
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:51,450
True.
866
00:36:51,450 --> 00:36:52,470
Well you see, no one had ever talked
867
00:36:52,470 --> 00:36:54,070
to him like that way before.
868
00:36:54,070 --> 00:36:55,660
Well it turned out the
problem was real simple.
869
00:36:55,660 --> 00:36:58,710
He hadn't had a good night's
sleep since he was 16
870
00:36:58,710 --> 00:37:00,450
cause his legs were too long for the bed.
871
00:37:00,450 --> 00:37:02,932
So the club chipped in,
bought him a king-sized bed.
872
00:37:02,932 --> 00:37:05,763
The next year he won the
club's best and fairest award.
873
00:37:08,711 --> 00:37:11,498
Well, what's your problem, Laurie?
874
00:37:11,498 --> 00:37:15,242
- What's this I hear about
Parker being forced to resign?
875
00:37:15,242 --> 00:37:16,160
- First I've heard of it.
876
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,940
- Come on, Jock, I'm not an idiot.
877
00:37:18,940 --> 00:37:21,120
Gerry's told me there's some
sort of storm brewing up
878
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:22,670
and Ted's gonna have to resign.
879
00:37:24,090 --> 00:37:26,135
- Well, I did hear a whisper to
880
00:37:26,135 --> 00:37:27,137
that effect now that you mention it.
881
00:37:27,137 --> 00:37:30,320
- You don't hear whispers,
Jock, you start them.
882
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:31,884
Now what's going on?
883
00:37:31,884 --> 00:37:33,370
- Oh, he's got himself
into some sort of trouble.
884
00:37:33,370 --> 00:37:34,203
I don't know all the details,
885
00:37:34,203 --> 00:37:35,570
but thank Christ is all I can say.
886
00:37:35,570 --> 00:37:38,340
I mean, let's face it,
Laurie, the man's a buffoon.
887
00:37:38,340 --> 00:37:42,660
- And when he's gone,
you'll stand for president.
888
00:37:42,660 --> 00:37:45,020
- If it's the wish of the committee.
889
00:37:45,020 --> 00:37:46,360
Look, with Parker out of the way,
890
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,860
things will start ticking
over smoothly once again.
891
00:37:48,860 --> 00:37:51,337
Ah, that Gerry's got some
great ideas for next year.
892
00:37:51,337 --> 00:37:52,476
- Has he?
893
00:37:52,476 --> 00:37:55,780
- Very good administrator, that lad.
894
00:37:55,780 --> 00:37:57,120
- You were the one man on the committee
895
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:58,820
who voted against his appointment!
896
00:38:00,871 --> 00:38:02,270
- Well, a man can be wrong.
897
00:38:02,270 --> 00:38:04,320
- Not many can manage it as often as you.
898
00:38:06,321 --> 00:38:08,621
What are some of these
great ideas of Gerry's?
899
00:38:09,630 --> 00:38:11,640
- We're gonna buy up big.
900
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:12,800
- Players?
901
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:13,930
- No, sheep.
902
00:38:13,930 --> 00:38:15,410
We're gonna graze 'em on the oval and save
903
00:38:15,410 --> 00:38:17,860
on the lawn mowin' cost,
course we're gonna buy players!
904
00:38:17,860 --> 00:38:19,780
We are going on the biggest buying spree
905
00:38:19,780 --> 00:38:20,650
in the history of the game.
906
00:38:20,650 --> 00:38:22,430
And what's more, it's good economics.
907
00:38:22,430 --> 00:38:23,263
- Why?
908
00:38:23,263 --> 00:38:24,096
- Why?
909
00:38:24,096 --> 00:38:25,220
Because if we win a premiership,
910
00:38:25,220 --> 00:38:26,860
it will arrest the membership decline,
911
00:38:26,860 --> 00:38:28,630
and members mean money!
912
00:38:28,630 --> 00:38:30,759
As a businessman myself,
I can see the logic of it.
913
00:38:30,759 --> 00:38:34,000
- (laughing) As a businessman yourself?
914
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,671
God help us!
915
00:38:35,671 --> 00:38:37,060
I was one of the mugs that invested
916
00:38:37,060 --> 00:38:39,630
in this little setup of yours.
917
00:38:39,630 --> 00:38:43,260
100 dozen pop up Taiwanese
toasters that first burned
918
00:38:43,260 --> 00:38:46,080
the toast and then fired 'em
like bloody mortar shells.
919
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,270
What about 40 gross, hey?
920
00:38:48,270 --> 00:38:50,590
40 gross of bloody Russian alarm clocks
921
00:38:50,590 --> 00:38:52,547
that tick so loud you didn't
even need the bloody alarm!
922
00:38:52,547 --> 00:38:54,260
- Hey, hey, you're not gonna make fun
923
00:38:54,260 --> 00:38:55,190
of me when you hear some of the names
924
00:38:55,190 --> 00:38:56,420
that we've been negotiating with!
925
00:38:56,420 --> 00:38:58,233
- Negotiating!
926
00:38:58,233 --> 00:38:59,479
You're negotiating for this bloody
927
00:38:59,479 --> 00:39:00,663
team without consulting me!
928
00:39:00,663 --> 00:39:02,110
- Not, not negotiating.
929
00:39:02,110 --> 00:39:03,720
I didn't mean negotiating.
930
00:39:03,720 --> 00:39:06,105
We've just started to think
of a few names, that's all.
931
00:39:06,105 --> 00:39:06,938
- Who's we?
932
00:39:06,938 --> 00:39:07,970
- Me and Gerry.
933
00:39:07,970 --> 00:39:09,063
- What names.
934
00:39:14,110 --> 00:39:15,800
- Try these for size.
935
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,563
Cam Donaldson, Micky
Dimmish, and Andy Payne.
936
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,133
How'd you like that lot in
your goal to goal line, huh?
937
00:39:22,133 --> 00:39:24,640
- I would love that lot
on my goal to goal line,
938
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,390
but I would like to be consulted.
939
00:39:26,390 --> 00:39:28,040
- You are being consulted right now!
940
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,523
Cam Donaldson, Micky
Dimmish, and Andy Payne!
941
00:39:33,460 --> 00:39:34,833
- The centre bounce again.
942
00:39:34,833 --> 00:39:36,190
Collingwood's playing bully at the moment.
943
00:39:36,190 --> 00:39:37,107
They've lost their first three games
944
00:39:37,107 --> 00:39:40,080
and don't look like a
football team at all.
945
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,027
Bennett comes across, but Moore
beats him for the knock out,
946
00:39:42,027 --> 00:39:43,630
it's a good one, and down towards
947
00:39:43,630 --> 00:39:46,135
their centre half forward position.
948
00:39:46,135 --> 00:39:48,970
Ball's coming out there towards
Collingwood's Wearmouth.
949
00:39:48,970 --> 00:39:51,560
He's looking for Danny Rowe, a handpass.
950
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:52,760
Danny's getting a bit old,
951
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,493
I wonder if he can get away this time.
952
00:39:54,493 --> 00:39:55,609
He's locked in a scrap.
953
00:39:55,609 --> 00:39:57,930
By golly, I think he's
ready for the pension too,
954
00:39:57,930 --> 00:40:00,034
he's slowed really down!
955
00:40:00,034 --> 00:40:02,531
By golly, he's out of form completely.
956
00:40:02,531 --> 00:40:04,770
And there must be a cloud over him.
957
00:40:04,770 --> 00:40:06,170
- How many kicks Danny have?
958
00:40:07,316 --> 00:40:08,149
- [Man] Two.
959
00:40:08,149 --> 00:40:08,982
- [Announcer] Hawthorne
well on top at the moment.
960
00:40:08,982 --> 00:40:11,410
Collingwood going to
attack again through Banks.
961
00:40:11,410 --> 00:40:12,700
He's grabbed around the neck,
962
00:40:12,700 --> 00:40:14,587
he nearly pulled his neck
outta the socket that time.
963
00:40:14,587 --> 00:40:16,446
(crowd jeering)
964
00:40:16,446 --> 00:40:17,972
Brute force and stupidity.
965
00:40:17,972 --> 00:40:19,580
Edwards coming across
to have a bit of a go.
966
00:40:19,580 --> 00:40:21,116
They're going at it here today,
967
00:40:21,116 --> 00:40:22,600
and now Collingwood has been stuffed.
968
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,680
It'll be a penalty free
kick down the ground,
969
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,240
and to take the free kick will be Young.
970
00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:27,147
Let's see what he can do with this one.
971
00:40:27,147 --> 00:40:28,010
- [Announcer] One in front,
972
00:40:28,010 --> 00:40:29,000
put the family jewels on the line.
973
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,440
- [Announcer] Ah, that's a junky kick
974
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:31,970
off the side of his boot.
975
00:40:31,970 --> 00:40:32,943
A terrible kick.
976
00:40:34,087 --> 00:40:35,730
- I can't understand you.
977
00:40:35,730 --> 00:40:38,082
You've forgotten all the
very basics of football.
978
00:40:38,082 --> 00:40:38,970
(players muttering)
979
00:40:38,970 --> 00:40:40,920
Now if there's a pack forming to take
980
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:42,390
a mark on the back line, there's gotta be
981
00:40:42,390 --> 00:40:45,446
someone down the front
to pick up the crumbs.
982
00:40:45,446 --> 00:40:47,390
Alright, now it's no good
trying punching the ball
983
00:40:47,390 --> 00:40:48,847
if going straight to the bloody.
984
00:40:48,847 --> 00:40:51,840
- Not once, not twice,
but three bloody times!
985
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,520
Where are your balls, men?
986
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,207
What are you, a bloody poofter?
987
00:40:55,207 --> 00:40:56,930
Now look, you wake up to
yourself or you'll play
988
00:40:56,930 --> 00:40:59,050
the rest of the game in a bloody dress!
989
00:40:59,050 --> 00:40:59,883
And as for the rest of you,
990
00:40:59,883 --> 00:41:01,260
start talking to each other, alright?
991
00:41:01,260 --> 00:41:02,920
- And the pack try the ball,
992
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:03,753
it's knocked to the ground,
993
00:41:03,753 --> 00:41:04,927
a chance for Morris to break clear.
994
00:41:04,927 --> 00:41:06,630
He's showing a lot strength.
995
00:41:06,630 --> 00:41:08,780
He backs up well and
shows a lot of confidence
996
00:41:08,780 --> 00:41:10,410
as he comes right through
the centre position
997
00:41:10,410 --> 00:41:12,470
of the ground and boots it well down
998
00:41:12,470 --> 00:41:14,800
towards the half forward
line for Collingwood.
999
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:15,798
Look at these!
1000
00:41:15,798 --> 00:41:18,240
What a beautiful mark,
but he juggles the ball.
1001
00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:20,080
He's got it well under control now.
1002
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:21,670
He's straightened himself up ready
1003
00:41:21,670 --> 00:41:23,540
to send Hawthorne back into attack.
1004
00:41:23,540 --> 00:41:25,670
He gets around his opponent, Anderson.
1005
00:41:25,670 --> 00:41:27,634
The ball's booted down
there towards Hayward.
1006
00:41:27,634 --> 00:41:29,051
But look at Hayward standing there,
1007
00:41:29,051 --> 00:41:29,884
he isn't even going for it.
1008
00:41:29,884 --> 00:41:31,726
It is unbelievable.
1009
00:41:31,726 --> 00:41:33,401
(crowd jeering)
1010
00:41:33,401 --> 00:41:35,984
- We paid 150,000 for that bastard?
1011
00:41:35,984 --> 00:41:38,651
(crowd jeering)
1012
00:41:39,595 --> 00:41:41,675
- [Announcer] Down towards
Collingwood's half back line.
1013
00:41:41,675 --> 00:41:44,760
(crowd roaring)
1014
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,192
And Haywood's still looking up at the sky.
1015
00:41:46,192 --> 00:41:47,776
He seems mesmerised to me.
1016
00:41:47,776 --> 00:41:49,195
He's in a trance!
1017
00:41:49,195 --> 00:41:52,214
(crowd jeering)
1018
00:41:52,214 --> 00:41:55,631
- This bastard's as bad as Parker's pies!
1019
00:41:56,601 --> 00:41:57,559
- [Announcer] In a hell of a spot.
1020
00:41:57,559 --> 00:41:59,310
They can't make the grade at the moment.
1021
00:41:59,310 --> 00:42:01,020
The ball's driven down there by Payton.
1022
00:42:01,020 --> 00:42:03,953
It's a long kick out there towards Stuart.
1023
00:42:03,953 --> 00:42:06,260
Stuart goes for the punch,
the ball hits the ground.
1024
00:42:06,260 --> 00:42:08,143
Coming across there to
pick it up is Scott.
1025
00:42:08,143 --> 00:42:10,300
He's moving very well, a nice handpass
1026
00:42:10,300 --> 00:42:12,630
coming out there to Gode,
and Gode's getting ready
1027
00:42:12,630 --> 00:42:14,372
to straighten up to fire at the goal.
1028
00:42:14,372 --> 00:42:17,452
He fires and it's six
points again for Hawthorne!
1029
00:42:17,452 --> 00:42:20,119

00:43:19,210 --> 00:43:21,540
- Alright, if you really
wanna know what's going on
1048
00:43:21,540 --> 00:43:23,140
is I'm sick to death of
football and I couldn't
1049
00:43:23,140 --> 00:43:24,810
care less if I never play
another game in my life.
1050
00:43:24,810 --> 00:43:26,873
It's a lot of macho competitive bullshit!
1051
00:43:28,110 --> 00:43:30,840
You chase a lump of pigskin
around the muddy ground
1052
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:31,867
as if you're life depended on it,
1053
00:43:31,867 --> 00:43:33,107
and when you finally get it,
1054
00:43:33,107 --> 00:43:35,340
you kick it in the bugger
and you go chasin' it again.
1055
00:43:35,340 --> 00:43:36,490
Football's shit to me.
1056
00:43:36,490 --> 00:43:38,790
- Well I wish to Christ you'd told us that
1057
00:43:38,790 --> 00:43:42,287
before we paid out $120,000 for you.
1058
00:43:42,287 --> 00:43:43,610
- If you think you can
buy me like a lump of meat
1059
00:43:43,610 --> 00:43:45,207
then you'd better think again!
1060
00:43:45,207 --> 00:43:47,140
- Don't you push me too far, Geoff.
1061
00:43:47,140 --> 00:43:49,940
I love this club, and I love football,
1062
00:43:49,940 --> 00:43:51,920
and I will not tolerate anyone
1063
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:53,520
who holds them both in contempt.
1064
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:55,350
- Love the club?
1065
00:43:55,350 --> 00:43:57,270
Jock, Ted, and Gerry?
1066
00:43:57,270 --> 00:44:00,730
- The club's not Jock, Ted, and Gerry.
1067
00:44:00,730 --> 00:44:02,110
It's 100 years of history.
1068
00:44:02,110 --> 00:44:03,470
- Yeah, well I missed out on the history,
1069
00:44:03,470 --> 00:44:05,850
and caught Jock, Ted, and Gerry.
1070
00:44:05,850 --> 00:44:06,730
How can an old fool like Jock
1071
00:44:06,730 --> 00:44:09,330
ever coach a club to four premierships?
1072
00:44:09,330 --> 00:44:10,830
- Got 'em in his first six years,
1073
00:44:10,830 --> 00:44:13,210
when every talented kid in this country
1074
00:44:13,210 --> 00:44:15,260
was dying to put on one of our guernseys.
1075
00:44:18,095 --> 00:44:19,545
He wasn't a coach's bootlace.
1076
00:44:20,660 --> 00:44:21,493
- Yeah, well you've been doing
1077
00:44:21,493 --> 00:44:23,850
some pretty bad coaching yourself lately.
1078
00:44:23,850 --> 00:44:24,920
- Such as?
1079
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:26,480
- Such as not shifting Danny off Wilson,
1080
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:27,680
he was gettin' thrashed.
1081
00:44:30,150 --> 00:44:31,084
- [Laurie] I know.
1082
00:44:31,084 --> 00:44:32,367
- [Geoff] Why didn't you shift him?
1083
00:44:33,993 --> 00:44:36,093
- Because he was desperate to keep trying.
1084
00:44:37,350 --> 00:44:38,850
He'd never been beaten so bad.
1085
00:44:41,720 --> 00:44:43,717
Danny has been the backbone of our team
1086
00:44:43,717 --> 00:44:45,453
for the last eight years.
1087
00:44:46,340 --> 00:44:48,100
I thought I owed him something.
1088
00:44:48,100 --> 00:44:52,190
Besides, I don't think anyone else
1089
00:44:52,190 --> 00:44:53,700
could have done any better.
1090
00:44:53,700 --> 00:44:54,700
- I can beat Wilson.
1091
00:44:55,610 --> 00:44:56,443
- You?
1092
00:44:56,443 --> 00:44:57,280
- Yeah, me!
1093
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:58,547
- Jesus Christ!
1094
00:45:00,271 --> 00:45:02,083
Now I've heard every bloody thing.
1095
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,370
I'm getting pretty fed up
with your arrogance, Geoff.
1096
00:45:06,370 --> 00:45:08,070
In the last three weeks
you've hardly had a kick.
1097
00:45:08,070 --> 00:45:10,740
You spent the whole of this week's match
1098
00:45:10,740 --> 00:45:12,283
staring up into the sky!
1099
00:45:14,390 --> 00:45:16,340
You just let the ball go straight past!
1100
00:45:17,433 --> 00:45:19,060
- I was stoned.
1101
00:45:19,060 --> 00:45:20,040
- Drunk?
1102
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:20,873
- Stoned.
1103
00:45:24,270 --> 00:45:26,010
- Marijuana?
1104
00:45:26,010 --> 00:45:27,890
- No, Laurie, hash.
1105
00:45:27,890 --> 00:45:29,113
I wasn't just staring up into the sky,
1106
00:45:29,113 --> 00:45:31,755
incidentally, I was watching a seagull.
1107
00:45:31,755 --> 00:45:33,900
Not just an ordinary seagull.
1108
00:45:33,900 --> 00:45:36,020
This was a prince of seagulls.
1109
00:45:36,020 --> 00:45:38,320
Dazzling me with blasts of pure white
1110
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,120
every time his wings caught the sun.
1111
00:45:49,870 --> 00:45:51,720
- Look, I am sorry Miss,
but ladies are just
1112
00:45:51,720 --> 00:45:53,800
not allowed in the changing
rooms before the games.
1113
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,724
It's just a club policy, I'm very sorry.
1114
00:45:55,724 --> 00:45:56,557
- Is Gerry in?
1115
00:45:56,557 --> 00:45:57,390
- He is Laurie.
1116
00:45:57,390 --> 00:45:58,374
But look, you can't go in there right now.
1117
00:45:58,374 --> 00:46:01,360
His instructions are no one's allowed in.
1118
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,260
- [Laurie] You got a minute?
1119
00:46:03,260 --> 00:46:04,613
- Be right with you, Laurie.
1120
00:46:11,846 --> 00:46:14,679
(players yelling)
1121
00:46:18,930 --> 00:46:20,760
You wanted to see me, Laurie?
1122
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,310
- What's the meaning of starting to plan
1123
00:46:22,310 --> 00:46:24,470
next year's team without
even consulting me?
1124
00:46:24,470 --> 00:46:26,060
- I was gonna talk to
you about it this week.
1125
00:46:26,060 --> 00:46:28,740
- Where are you getting the
money for all these new players?
1126
00:46:28,740 --> 00:46:29,627
- Leave that to me.
1127
00:46:29,627 --> 00:46:31,133
- Be buggered, I'll leave it to you!
1128
00:46:31,133 --> 00:46:33,760
I've been around this place 22 years,
1129
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,763
and I am the coach of this
bloody club, not the office boy!
1130
00:46:37,846 --> 00:46:39,610
Now how are you getting the money?
1131
00:46:39,610 --> 00:46:40,670
Come on, Danny!
1132
00:46:40,670 --> 00:46:41,503
- Alright, if you really wanna--
1133
00:46:41,503 --> 00:46:42,336
- [Laurie] Follow it up!
1134
00:46:42,336 --> 00:46:43,310
- If you really wanna know I'll tell you.
1135
00:46:43,310 --> 00:46:45,160
But for Christ's sake, keep it quiet.
1136
00:46:46,110 --> 00:46:48,230
I've been courting a couple
of big property developers--
1137
00:46:48,230 --> 00:46:49,150
- [Laurie] Go on, Ronnie!
1138
00:46:49,150 --> 00:46:49,983
Call out!
1139
00:46:49,983 --> 00:46:51,390
- They're all club supporters and they're
1140
00:46:51,390 --> 00:46:52,370
looking for a hobby and they've got
1141
00:46:52,370 --> 00:46:54,340
a hell of a lot of money to spend.
1142
00:46:54,340 --> 00:46:55,443
The only hitch at the moment is
1143
00:46:55,443 --> 00:46:57,350
that they're hesitant
about getting involved
1144
00:46:57,350 --> 00:46:59,387
while we've still got
a president like Ted.
1145
00:46:59,387 --> 00:47:00,610
- Now go on, Tank!
1146
00:47:00,610 --> 00:47:02,600
- He's been fawning on
'em like a drunken toad.
1147
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,020
- They haven't said anything
directly, of course,
1148
00:47:05,020 --> 00:47:06,470
but I'd stake my life we'll get an instant
1149
00:47:06,470 --> 00:47:08,463
commitment from them the minute he goes.
1150
00:47:09,947 --> 00:47:11,317
- And what kind of role in the club
1151
00:47:11,317 --> 00:47:13,293
had you planned for these guys?
1152
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:15,473
Come on, Geoff, brace!
1153
00:47:15,473 --> 00:47:18,200
- Well, we'll bring one
in as vice president
1154
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,860
and make the other one
a honorary life member.
1155
00:47:20,860 --> 00:47:21,693
- Yeah?
1156
00:47:23,373 --> 00:47:25,173
Where's his 25 years active service?
1157
00:47:26,230 --> 00:47:28,281
- Laurie, let's not be bush lawyers
1158
00:47:28,281 --> 00:47:29,830
with this kind of money involved.
1159
00:47:29,830 --> 00:47:31,300
- What kind of money?
1160
00:47:31,300 --> 00:47:32,460
- Up to half a million each.
1161
00:47:32,460 --> 00:47:34,870
- Plus some cash from our sales.
1162
00:47:34,870 --> 00:47:35,853
- What sales?
1163
00:47:37,185 --> 00:47:40,020
- Oh, I was gonna discuss
with you the possibility
1164
00:47:40,020 --> 00:47:42,840
of offloading one or two
of our older players.
1165
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:43,673
- Such as?
1166
00:47:43,673 --> 00:47:45,420
- Well, you tell me.
1167
00:47:45,420 --> 00:47:46,253
- [Laurie] Come on, Ronnie!
1168
00:47:46,253 --> 00:47:48,450
- I'm only the administrator,
you're the expert.
1169
00:47:48,450 --> 00:47:49,730
Who can we do without?
1170
00:47:55,190 --> 00:47:56,563
- Tony Harper, I suppose.
1171
00:47:58,470 --> 00:48:00,017
- Hardly worth the effort.
1172
00:48:00,017 --> 00:48:00,850
- Come on, Geoff!
1173
00:48:00,850 --> 00:48:02,810
- Market price would be under 5000.
1174
00:48:02,810 --> 00:48:04,620
The only player we've got who's got
1175
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,350
big money on his head is Danny.
1176
00:48:09,350 --> 00:48:11,340
- And he's not gonna
have it for much longer.
1177
00:48:11,340 --> 00:48:13,023
- We're not selling Danny.
1178
00:48:14,070 --> 00:48:15,100
- With the players we'll be getting
1179
00:48:15,100 --> 00:48:16,240
next year do we really need him?
1180
00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:18,403
- Of course we need him!
1181
00:48:18,403 --> 00:48:20,220
- I was only asking a question.
1182
00:48:20,220 --> 00:48:21,053
There's no need to get angry,
1183
00:48:21,053 --> 00:48:22,750
I was simply asking a question.
1184
00:48:22,750 --> 00:48:23,720
- We need him.
1185
00:48:23,720 --> 00:48:24,553
- Fine.
1186
00:48:25,980 --> 00:48:27,050
- Come on, Danny!
1187
00:48:27,050 --> 00:48:27,883
- Jock's point--
1188
00:48:27,883 --> 00:48:28,716
- Pick it up!
1189
00:48:28,716 --> 00:48:29,700
- Is worth considering though.
1190
00:48:29,700 --> 00:48:31,370
This is possibly the last year
1191
00:48:31,370 --> 00:48:33,540
that Danny will command decent money.
1192
00:48:33,540 --> 00:48:36,240
- I say sell him while
he's still worth something.
1193
00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:37,217
I mean, let's face it, Laurie,
1194
00:48:37,217 --> 00:48:39,040
when we were winning our medals
1195
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,090
it was in a team full of champions.
1196
00:48:41,090 --> 00:48:43,210
Danny is little more than a talented hack.
1197
00:48:43,210 --> 00:48:45,620
- Come off it, Jock!
1198
00:48:45,620 --> 00:48:48,820
He's bloody near as good as
either of us were in our day.
1199
00:48:48,820 --> 00:48:50,520
I know what's bothering you, mate.
1200
00:48:51,430 --> 00:48:53,270
If he stays here another year or two
1201
00:48:53,270 --> 00:48:56,080
he'll end up beating
your precious 282 games.
1202
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:57,890
- Yeah, well you couldn't beat it.
1203
00:48:57,890 --> 00:48:58,723
He's not gonna beat it either.
1204
00:48:58,723 --> 00:48:59,960
- Come on, Tank!
1205
00:48:59,960 --> 00:49:01,060
- When my record goes, it's gonna be
1206
00:49:01,060 --> 00:49:02,990
to someone with a bit of moral fibre.
1207
00:49:02,990 --> 00:49:03,998
- Moral fibre?
1208
00:49:03,998 --> 00:49:04,831
- Yeah.
1209
00:49:04,831 --> 00:49:06,897
- You were never known
for your celibacy, mate.
1210
00:49:06,897 --> 00:49:08,203
- Laurie, Laurie.
1211
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:12,726
What if I told you I could
swap Danny for Tony Marcaso?
1212
00:49:12,726 --> 00:49:14,320
Makes you stop and think, doesn't it?
1213
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:15,153
- Well can ya?
1214
00:49:17,690 --> 00:49:20,540
- No, but it made you stop and think.
1215
00:49:20,540 --> 00:49:22,520
- The only reason I would want Danny
1216
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:24,240
to go is if Danny wants to go.
1217
00:49:24,240 --> 00:49:26,370
I don't care if you could
swap him for Jesus Christ.
1218
00:49:26,370 --> 00:49:27,910
- Yeah, well with the
team we'll have next year,
1219
00:49:27,910 --> 00:49:30,460
Jesus Christ would be flat
out making the reserves!
1220
00:49:32,254 --> 00:49:33,367
- And then I told Laurie I was stoned
1221
00:49:33,367 --> 00:49:35,500
and you should seen Laurie's eyes.
1222
00:49:35,500 --> 00:49:36,333
Marijuana?
1223
00:49:37,230 --> 00:49:39,620
- Do you really think you
should smoke before a match?
1224
00:49:39,620 --> 00:49:40,453
- Hey?
1225
00:49:40,453 --> 00:49:42,670
- I'd really like to see you play well.
1226
00:49:42,670 --> 00:49:43,730
- I thought you hated football?
1227
00:49:43,730 --> 00:49:44,563
- I know.
1228
00:49:44,563 --> 00:49:46,453
But that was before I'd seen any.
1229
00:49:47,830 --> 00:49:48,800
- Well, I'm not gonna play my heart out
1230
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:50,425
for that mob of crooks and deadbeats.
1231
00:49:50,425 --> 00:49:51,350
- How 'bout a lettuce.
1232
00:49:51,350 --> 00:49:52,962
- No, I don't like lettuce.
1233
00:49:52,962 --> 00:49:54,160
You know how they've treated me!
1234
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,860
- Yes, but I'm just getting
sick of watching you lose.
1235
00:50:02,980 --> 00:50:04,311
Hey, let's go our for dinner tonight.
1236
00:50:04,311 --> 00:50:05,311
- What, why?
1237
00:50:05,311 --> 00:50:06,321
Why are we buying all this stuff
1238
00:50:06,321 --> 00:50:07,154
if we're gonna go out to dinner.
1239
00:50:07,154 --> 00:50:09,237
- I'm sick of cooking.
1240
00:50:09,237 --> 00:50:10,430
I know this great new Indian place.
1241
00:50:10,430 --> 00:50:13,780
- Oh hello, here comes the
club's answer to Cary Grant.
1242
00:50:13,780 --> 00:50:14,770
- What does he want?
1243
00:50:14,770 --> 00:50:16,525
- God knows.
1244
00:50:16,525 --> 00:50:17,358
- Hey, GeofF!
1245
00:50:17,358 --> 00:50:18,962
- G'day, Jock.
1246
00:50:18,962 --> 00:50:21,020
- (laughing) Good on ya, mate.
1247
00:50:21,020 --> 00:50:22,197
I'm glad I caught you at home.
1248
00:50:22,197 --> 00:50:24,650
- Uh, Jock, this my friend, Susie.
1249
00:50:24,650 --> 00:50:27,140
- Ah, hello Susie, and what do you do?
1250
00:50:27,140 --> 00:50:28,390
- I study history.
1251
00:50:28,390 --> 00:50:33,040
- Oh well, some of us study
it, and some of us make it.
1252
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,340
Look, Geoff, sorry to
barge in on you like this,
1253
00:50:36,340 --> 00:50:40,170
but we got a couple of
problems down at the club.
1254
00:50:40,170 --> 00:50:41,313
- I'll go upstairs.
1255
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:46,200
- Gorgeous looking sheila
you got there, Geoff.
1256
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:47,420
- Yeah.
1257
00:50:47,420 --> 00:50:48,670
What's the problem, Jock?
1258
00:50:49,810 --> 00:50:53,290
- Well, uh, I've been a bit
worried about your form,
1259
00:50:53,290 --> 00:50:54,600
to tell you the truth, lately, Geoff,
1260
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:58,000
and well seeing as how I
was the one who insisted
1261
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,763
on getting you, I thought
we might have a little chat.
1262
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,070
- [Geoff] You've been talking to Laurie?
1263
00:51:06,070 --> 00:51:06,903
- Uh, no, no.
1264
00:51:06,903 --> 00:51:08,990
He chooses not to consult
me on such matters.
1265
00:51:08,990 --> 00:51:12,040
But it's my opinion that the
reason that you haven't been
1266
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:14,990
playing as well as
you're capable is because
1267
00:51:14,990 --> 00:51:16,790
he hasn't been giving you a fair go.
1268
00:51:18,890 --> 00:51:21,960
I hear that you two had
a bit of an altercation.
1269
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:23,160
- [Geoff] Yeah, we did.
1270
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:24,605
- Well any coach that has to resort
1271
00:51:24,605 --> 00:51:27,820
to them sort of methods
is no coach in my book.
1272
00:51:27,820 --> 00:51:31,420
Oh, a marvellous high mark
you took last Saturday.
1273
00:51:31,420 --> 00:51:34,013
Jesus, you just seemed to go up and up!
1274
00:51:34,013 --> 00:51:37,342
(crowd roaring)
1275
00:51:37,342 --> 00:51:38,390
- Yeah, I felt like Achilles.
1276
00:51:38,390 --> 00:51:41,570
- Yes, yes. (laughing)
1277
00:51:41,570 --> 00:51:42,403
Who's he?
1278
00:51:43,330 --> 00:51:45,420
- A Greek guy who could really jump.
1279
00:51:45,420 --> 00:51:46,253
- Oh, yeah yeah.
1280
00:51:46,253 --> 00:51:48,200
Well, some of these new Australians,
1281
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:49,800
you know they could be real champions
1282
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,650
if they forget about soccer
and just learn to assimilate.
1283
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:56,740
Why did Butcher Malone take
a swing at you last Saturday?
1284
00:51:56,740 --> 00:51:59,057
Did you give him the ol'
elbow in the gut, eh?
1285
00:51:59,057 --> 00:52:00,257
- No, I blew him a kiss.
1286
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,860
- Oh, very good.
1287
00:52:03,860 --> 00:52:05,360
Very subtle.
1288
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:08,275
Well, of course I was a
bit more direct in my day.
1289
00:52:08,275 --> 00:52:09,910
You know them times when you're half
1290
00:52:09,910 --> 00:52:11,240
a yard behind your man?
1291
00:52:11,240 --> 00:52:12,400
He's going for the ball.
1292
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:13,331
Now there's no way in the world
1293
00:52:13,331 --> 00:52:14,953
you're gonna stop him, right?
1294
00:52:14,953 --> 00:52:15,943
Right.
1295
00:52:15,943 --> 00:52:19,470
Just as he leaves the
ground, get your thumb,
1296
00:52:19,470 --> 00:52:21,061
ram it up his bum!
1297
00:52:21,061 --> 00:52:23,037
(laughing) It works every time!
1298
00:52:23,037 --> 00:52:24,050
- Sounds effective.
1299
00:52:24,050 --> 00:52:25,323
- Oh, it's a beauty.
1300
00:52:26,270 --> 00:52:28,440
Oh, you roll your own, do you?
1301
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,426
I used to roll me own.
1302
00:52:30,426 --> 00:52:31,893
- Would you like me to roll you one?
1303
00:52:33,430 --> 00:52:35,197
- Yeah, why not.
1304
00:52:36,310 --> 00:52:39,792
We'll have a nice little
chat and a quiet smoke.
1305
00:52:39,792 --> 00:52:41,170
- I got a couple here already rolled.
1306
00:52:41,170 --> 00:52:42,003
- Oh, beauty, beauty.
1307
00:52:42,003 --> 00:52:42,836
Good on ya, son.
1308
00:52:44,904 --> 00:52:46,764
Hey, you don't smoke too
many of these, I hope?
1309
00:52:46,764 --> 00:52:47,597
- Hmm?
1310
00:52:47,597 --> 00:52:49,340
- It makes you short of breath.
1311
00:52:49,340 --> 00:52:50,173
- Oh.
1312
00:52:50,173 --> 00:52:51,930
- How many of 'em do you smoke a day?
1313
00:52:51,930 --> 00:52:52,810
- Three or four.
1314
00:52:52,810 --> 00:52:54,643
- Oh, it's no problem.
1315
00:52:58,793 --> 00:53:01,043
(coughing)
1316
00:53:04,938 --> 00:53:07,202
It's a bit strong.
1317
00:53:07,202 --> 00:53:09,223
(coughing)
1318
00:53:09,223 --> 00:53:11,587
You get a bit used to having 'em filtered.
1319
00:53:19,490 --> 00:53:24,490
Now Geoff, this trouble that
you're having with Laurie,
1320
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:27,580
do you think that's the main problem?
1321
00:53:27,580 --> 00:53:28,463
- Not entirely.
1322
00:53:30,230 --> 00:53:33,075
- Is something else worrying you, son?
1323
00:53:33,075 --> 00:53:34,525
You know, something personal?
1324
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:37,050
- There is, Jock.
1325
00:53:38,490 --> 00:53:39,455
How'd you guess?
1326
00:53:39,455 --> 00:53:41,690
- I have an instinct for problems.
1327
00:53:41,690 --> 00:53:43,767
You wanna talk about it?
1328
00:53:43,767 --> 00:53:45,080
- I don't know if I can.
1329
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:48,610
- It won't go any further
than this room if you do, son.
1330
00:53:48,610 --> 00:53:49,667
You know that.
1331
00:53:52,890 --> 00:53:54,970
Have you been able to
talk to Laurie about it?
1332
00:53:54,970 --> 00:53:55,803
- No.
1333
00:53:58,223 --> 00:54:00,433
- Bit hard to have a heart
to heart talk with Laurie.
1334
00:54:00,433 --> 00:54:03,930
I mean, he lacks that little human touch.
1335
00:54:03,930 --> 00:54:06,810
When I was coach, me and
the boys were like that.
1336
00:54:06,810 --> 00:54:08,410
They told me everything.
1337
00:54:09,692 --> 00:54:10,942
Except Laurie, of course.
1338
00:54:11,900 --> 00:54:14,010
We'd be hanging around having
a few beers and a chat,
1339
00:54:14,010 --> 00:54:15,130
he'd be out in that bloody ground
1340
00:54:15,130 --> 00:54:16,930
practising his kicking or something.
1341
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:19,753
Bloody fanatic even in those days.
1342
00:54:21,658 --> 00:54:23,951
Do the players really like him?
1343
00:54:23,951 --> 00:54:24,784
- They seem to.
1344
00:54:25,980 --> 00:54:26,813
- I can't understand that.
1345
00:54:26,813 --> 00:54:28,913
I mean, he seems too stand offish.
1346
00:54:30,820 --> 00:54:32,160
You probably gathered that me and Laurie
1347
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:33,970
don't exactly see eye to eye.
1348
00:54:33,970 --> 00:54:35,900
- Yeah, I have sensed a bit of friction.
1349
00:54:35,900 --> 00:54:38,260
- In fact, we hate each other's guts.
1350
00:54:38,260 --> 00:54:39,337
From the very minute he joined this club,
1351
00:54:39,337 --> 00:54:42,450
he's made it his business to
rewrite the club's history
1352
00:54:42,450 --> 00:54:44,850
with himself as it's biggest shining star!
1353
00:54:44,850 --> 00:54:48,706
He was obsessed with beating
my record of 282 games.
1354
00:54:48,706 --> 00:54:50,520
Absolutely obsessed!
1355
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:53,380
He had a bad groyne injury
and a dicey hamstring.
1356
00:54:53,380 --> 00:54:54,467
He was in agony every
time he took that ground,
1357
00:54:54,467 --> 00:54:56,170
but there was no stoppin' him.
1358
00:54:56,170 --> 00:54:57,010
- [Geoff] But he didn't beat it?
1359
00:54:57,010 --> 00:55:00,690
- No, no.
1360
00:55:00,690 --> 00:55:03,130
No, he took like a rabbit
right up coming out
1361
00:55:03,130 --> 00:55:04,410
of the pack and did
his cartilage with only
1362
00:55:04,410 --> 00:55:06,710
three games to go and I
can't say I was sorry.
1363
00:55:07,930 --> 00:55:09,871
In fact, I laughed me bloody head off.
1364
00:55:09,871 --> 00:55:12,121
(laughing)
1365
00:55:15,551 --> 00:55:18,120
You know how he took over for me as coach?
1366
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:19,479
He went around to the
members of the committee
1367
00:55:19,479 --> 00:55:21,522
behind my back and told 'em I was drunk
1368
00:55:21,522 --> 00:55:23,593
during the '69 Grand Final.
1369
00:55:24,847 --> 00:55:26,720
I had a cold in the head!
1370
00:55:26,720 --> 00:55:29,283
I'd had a few sips of
whiskey, but I was not drunk!
1371
00:55:32,405 --> 00:55:33,322
He'll keep.
1372
00:55:34,240 --> 00:55:35,223
He's gonna get his.
1373
00:55:36,650 --> 00:55:38,803
He promised that committee the world.
1374
00:55:39,850 --> 00:55:43,283
He hasn't even won them one
premiership and I've won four!
1375
00:55:44,750 --> 00:55:48,440
Anyway, the important thing
at the moment is to find out
1376
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:50,874
what it is that's worrying you, son.
1377
00:55:50,874 --> 00:55:53,930
- I don't know where to begin.
1378
00:55:53,930 --> 00:55:56,413
It would absolutely destroy
me if it ever came out.
1379
00:55:58,060 --> 00:55:58,893
- Yeah?
1380
00:56:00,610 --> 00:56:03,600
- It's not that I'm not
attracted to women, Jock, I am!
1381
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:05,330
Desperately attracted.
1382
00:56:05,330 --> 00:56:08,410
But when it comes to the vital...
1383
00:56:10,970 --> 00:56:14,460
- Can't you, um, get your act together?
1384
00:56:14,460 --> 00:56:16,044
- For Christ sake, keep
it to yourself, Jock.
1385
00:56:16,044 --> 00:56:18,039
- But what about Susie?
1386
00:56:18,039 --> 00:56:19,920
- Unfortunately, she's just a friend.
1387
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:20,780
- Yeah?
1388
00:56:20,780 --> 00:56:21,613
Tell you what, I wouldn't mind
1389
00:56:21,613 --> 00:56:24,470
having a few friends like her.
1390
00:56:24,470 --> 00:56:26,209
Hey, maybe you're training too hard.
1391
00:56:26,209 --> 00:56:27,042
- No, it's not that.
1392
00:56:27,042 --> 00:56:27,875
- No, no, no, I used to have trouble
1393
00:56:27,875 --> 00:56:30,010
gettin' it up sometimes after a big match.
1394
00:56:30,010 --> 00:56:31,110
- It's not that, Jock.
1395
00:56:32,279 --> 00:56:34,360
- Have you seen a doctor?
1396
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:35,570
- Yeah.
1397
00:56:35,570 --> 00:56:37,583
Apparently, there's nothing
wrong with me physically.
1398
00:56:38,798 --> 00:56:39,881
It's up here.
1399
00:56:45,727 --> 00:56:47,827
Have I ever talked to you about my sister?
1400
00:56:49,260 --> 00:56:50,200
- No.
1401
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:52,498
Well, didn't know you had one.
1402
00:56:52,498 --> 00:56:54,290
- I don't talk about her often.
1403
00:56:54,290 --> 00:56:55,843
She was in a serious
car accident the night
1404
00:56:55,843 --> 00:56:58,330
before her 18th birthday
when I was only 14.
1405
00:56:58,330 --> 00:56:59,540
- Uh-huh.
1406
00:56:59,540 --> 00:57:01,180
Badly hurt?
1407
00:57:01,180 --> 00:57:03,030
- Both legs amputated above the knee.
1408
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:05,790
- Oh hell.
1409
00:57:06,988 --> 00:57:08,240
- It would have been tragic for anyone,
1410
00:57:08,240 --> 00:57:09,840
but for someone as young and beautiful
1411
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:13,519
as Gabrielle, it was devastating.
1412
00:57:13,519 --> 00:57:14,352
- Yeah.
1413
00:57:14,352 --> 00:57:15,360
- She had everything going for her, Jock.
1414
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:19,343
She was beautiful, warm,
intelligent, popular, you name it.
1415
00:57:19,343 --> 00:57:20,176
- Yeah.
1416
00:57:20,176 --> 00:57:23,510
- And Jock, when it happened, the courage
1417
00:57:23,510 --> 00:57:25,510
in that girl you just would not believe.
1418
00:57:26,639 --> 00:57:28,200
Don't be sad, she'd say.
1419
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:29,300
I'm still me.
1420
00:57:29,300 --> 00:57:31,320
What's a few legs between friends.
1421
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:34,303
I mean, joking, Jock, joking
in a situation like that.
1422
00:57:34,303 --> 00:57:35,930
I mean, Jesus.
1423
00:57:35,930 --> 00:57:37,540
Is that courage, Jock?
1424
00:57:37,540 --> 00:57:38,373
Tell me, is it?
1425
00:57:39,748 --> 00:57:43,108
- Oh, that's courage, yes, it's courage.
1426
00:57:43,108 --> 00:57:43,941
It's courage.
1427
00:57:43,941 --> 00:57:46,990
- One night I heard her crying
in the dark in the next room.
1428
00:57:46,990 --> 00:57:48,690
It became too much for me to bear.
1429
00:57:50,300 --> 00:57:53,123
So I went and lay beside
her and held her in my arms.
1430
00:57:54,190 --> 00:57:56,280
Every night after that I'd
comfort her in the same way
1431
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:58,933
and we'd lie together, crying in the dark.
1432
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,803
Then one night, is this
too much for you, Jock?
1433
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:06,410
- Oh, no, no, no, no, go on.
1434
00:58:06,410 --> 00:58:07,720
- You're looking as white as a sheet.
1435
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:09,550
- Yeah, it must be this bloody tobacco.
1436
00:58:09,550 --> 00:58:10,870
No, go on.
1437
00:58:10,870 --> 00:58:14,370
- Well, without either of us knowing
1438
00:58:14,370 --> 00:58:18,793
quite how or why, we became lovers.
1439
00:58:21,094 --> 00:58:21,927
- Jesus!
1440
00:58:22,870 --> 00:58:24,430
- We knew what we were doing was wrong,
1441
00:58:24,430 --> 00:58:27,840
but the surprising thing
was, we just didn't care.
1442
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:30,940
It was wrong, but it was right.
1443
00:58:30,940 --> 00:58:32,440
Can you understand that, Jock?
1444
00:58:36,518 --> 00:58:37,351
- No legs?
1445
00:58:37,351 --> 00:58:38,510
- It sounds sordid, but it wasn't.
1446
00:58:38,510 --> 00:58:39,513
I loved her, Jock.
1447
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:44,530
- Well, how long did this go on for?
1448
00:58:44,530 --> 00:58:45,780
- Oh, not long.
1449
00:58:47,470 --> 00:58:50,470
One night when dad was away
on one of his conferences,
1450
00:58:50,470 --> 00:58:52,752
the light was suddenly switched
on and there was my mother.
1451
00:58:52,752 --> 00:58:54,370
(soft music)
1452
00:58:54,370 --> 00:58:55,822
- Oh hell.
1453
00:58:55,822 --> 00:58:59,430
- Still young, still beautiful,
in a flowing silk negligee.
1454
00:58:59,430 --> 00:59:01,088
The look of utter shock on her face.
1455
00:59:01,088 --> 00:59:02,838
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
1456
00:59:02,838 --> 00:59:04,528
- There was nothing she could say to us.
1457
00:59:04,528 --> 00:59:06,100
There was nothing we could say to her.
1458
00:59:06,100 --> 00:59:08,943
She just turned off the light
and went back to her bed,
1459
00:59:09,970 --> 00:59:13,145
and we lay there, listening
to her sobbing in the dark.
1460
00:59:13,145 --> 00:59:13,978
- Yeah.
1461
00:59:13,978 --> 00:59:15,560
- Finally I couldn't stand it any longer.
1462
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:17,680
I picked up my sister and carried
her into my mother's room,
1463
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:20,293
and we all clung together,
sobbing in the dark.
1464
00:59:22,050 --> 00:59:23,813
Eventually, as the night wore on,
1465
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,233
again I have no idea quite how or why,
1466
00:59:28,540 --> 00:59:30,013
mom and I became lovers too.
1467
00:59:33,779 --> 00:59:35,000
- [Jock] Holy God.
1468
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:36,059
- [Geoff] Three days later my father came
1469
00:59:36,059 --> 00:59:37,643
home early from a conference.
1470
00:59:37,643 --> 00:59:38,476
- [Jock] Holy God.
1471
00:59:38,476 --> 00:59:39,848
- He shot himself.
1472
00:59:39,848 --> 00:59:42,598
(dramatic music)
1473
00:59:47,012 --> 00:59:48,250
(pistol booming)
1474
00:59:48,250 --> 00:59:49,890
I've been impotent ever since.
1475
00:59:49,890 --> 00:59:51,193
- No bloody wonder!
1476
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:59,090
Quite frankly, Geoffrey, I am disgusted!
1477
00:59:59,090 --> 01:00:00,820
And it's no good pretending otherwise.
1478
01:00:00,820 --> 01:00:02,720
- Every time I go out onto the ground,
1479
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:04,853
I feel as though everyone's
whispering about me.
1480
01:00:04,853 --> 01:00:06,833
I just can't concentrate on the game.
1481
01:00:09,010 --> 01:00:09,903
- Personally, I had me doubts about
1482
01:00:09,903 --> 01:00:14,250
paying $100,000 for a bloody Protestant.
1483
01:00:14,250 --> 01:00:16,340
I mean, if a good Catholic lad so much
1484
01:00:16,340 --> 01:00:18,470
as even thought of giving his handicapped
1485
01:00:18,470 --> 01:00:20,920
sister a Wellington boot, he'd still be
1486
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:23,433
down on his hands and
knees yelling Hail Marys!
1487
01:00:24,890 --> 01:00:26,083
But the damage is done.
1488
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:29,200
I'm the one who held out for you.
1489
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:30,610
I'm the one who's gonna get crucified
1490
01:00:30,610 --> 01:00:32,580
if any of this ever gets out.
1491
01:00:32,580 --> 01:00:33,413
I'm gonna have to lay it right
1492
01:00:33,413 --> 01:00:35,040
on the line for you, young fella.
1493
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:36,810
Stay right away from your family
1494
01:00:36,810 --> 01:00:39,150
and concentrate on the club.
1495
01:00:39,150 --> 01:00:40,240
Otherwise we'll cut our losses and sell
1496
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:42,483
ya to some deadbeat team out in the bush.
1497
01:00:43,500 --> 01:00:44,950
On the other hand, if you knuckle down
1498
01:00:44,950 --> 01:00:47,560
and start pulling your socks
up doin' things proper,
1499
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:48,727
you could find yourself part of some
1500
01:00:48,727 --> 01:00:50,030
really excitin' things that are gonna
1501
01:00:50,030 --> 01:00:51,480
be happenin' around here next year.
1502
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:53,020
- What things?
1503
01:00:53,020 --> 01:00:54,247
- We are getting some great new players
1504
01:00:54,247 --> 01:00:57,170
and a fantastic coach.
1505
01:00:57,170 --> 01:00:58,233
Oh shit!
1506
01:00:59,250 --> 01:01:01,310
I shouldn't have said that.
1507
01:01:01,310 --> 01:01:02,193
- What new coach?
1508
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:04,633
- Huh?
1509
01:01:04,633 --> 01:01:05,533
- What new coach?
1510
01:01:07,370 --> 01:01:08,203
- The best.
1511
01:01:08,203 --> 01:01:10,560
We are gettin' the best.
1512
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:14,040
Laurie's had his chance
and he is finished.
1513
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:14,873
But you keep that quiet,
1514
01:01:14,873 --> 01:01:17,490
and you just remember what I said, mate.
1515
01:01:17,490 --> 01:01:20,233
Just pull up your socks
and get a grip on yourself,
1516
01:01:21,090 --> 01:01:23,410
or else you are bloody history!
1517
01:01:49,830 --> 01:01:52,443
- No one's asking you to resign, Ted.
1518
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:55,337
I just thought you might
have considered it.
1519
01:01:55,337 --> 01:01:56,620
- No, I'm not going to resign.
1520
01:01:56,620 --> 01:01:59,390
There's no way in the
world I'm going to resign.
1521
01:01:59,390 --> 01:02:00,890
- Well, that's up to you, Ted.
1522
01:02:02,050 --> 01:02:03,490
I'm sure the committee will back you
1523
01:02:03,490 --> 01:02:06,260
if you decide to battle
the whole thing through.
1524
01:02:06,260 --> 01:02:08,100
- Oh, I'll battle the whole thing through,
1525
01:02:08,100 --> 01:02:11,010
and I'll expect 100%
loyalty from the committee.
1526
01:02:11,010 --> 01:02:12,220
- You won't get it from me.
1527
01:02:12,220 --> 01:02:13,863
- I wouldn't expect it from you.
1528
01:02:17,470 --> 01:02:19,563
They're trying to force me to resign.
1529
01:02:20,620 --> 01:02:22,856
- Ted's in a spot of trouble.
1530
01:02:22,856 --> 01:02:24,450
A stripper's suing him for assault
1531
01:02:24,450 --> 01:02:27,970
and the whole thing's being
plastered across the papers.
1532
01:02:27,970 --> 01:02:28,840
- What, the stripper from the club ball?
1533
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,113
- Yes, it's a whole lot
of trumped up garbage.
1534
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:33,600
- Well what happened?
1535
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:35,490
- Oh, Ted went 'round to see her backstage
1536
01:02:35,490 --> 01:02:36,530
after the act, and there
was an unfortunate--
1537
01:02:36,530 --> 01:02:38,778
- The whole thing's been
inflated out of all proportion.
1538
01:02:38,778 --> 01:02:40,770
I slapped her, that's all.
1539
01:02:40,770 --> 01:02:41,603
I slapped her.
1540
01:02:41,603 --> 01:02:44,380
- How come the medical report
said she had bruises all over?
1541
01:02:44,380 --> 01:02:46,070
- She must have got one
of her friends to slap her
1542
01:02:46,070 --> 01:02:47,600
around some more to get
more money out of me.
1543
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:48,910
It happens all the time.
1544
01:02:48,910 --> 01:02:50,567
- I wouldn't be surprised if you're right,
1545
01:02:50,567 --> 01:02:53,050
but the public are probably
gonna believe her story.
1546
01:02:53,050 --> 01:02:55,110
- Oh, who gives a stuff
what the public believes?
1547
01:02:55,110 --> 01:02:56,900
The facts are she a
trumped up little nobody
1548
01:02:56,900 --> 01:02:59,050
and I slapped her.
1549
01:02:59,050 --> 01:03:00,570
She egged me on all the
way through her act.
1550
01:03:00,570 --> 01:03:02,320
Laurie, you say her.
1551
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:05,000
Practically rubbed her tits on my nose.
1552
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:06,430
When I went 'round back stage
1553
01:03:06,430 --> 01:03:09,090
she switched it all off and treated me
1554
01:03:09,090 --> 01:03:10,640
like I was dirt under her feet.
1555
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:13,990
Well, nobody treats me like that, Laurie.
1556
01:03:13,990 --> 01:03:16,390
Least all a little trollop like her.
1557
01:03:16,390 --> 01:03:18,060
I'm the president of the
greatest football club
1558
01:03:18,060 --> 01:03:19,250
in the history of the game and I'm
1559
01:03:19,250 --> 01:03:21,450
not gonna have some little
slut laugh in my face.
1560
01:03:21,450 --> 01:03:24,050
- Exactly how badly was she hurt?
1561
01:03:24,050 --> 01:03:25,697
- Oh, I hardly touched her.
1562
01:03:25,697 --> 01:03:26,960
By the time the press
have got through with it
1563
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:28,950
it'll sound like we went 15 rounds.
1564
01:03:28,950 --> 01:03:30,790
- Well who told the press?
1565
01:03:30,790 --> 01:03:31,623
- God knows.
1566
01:03:31,623 --> 01:03:33,980
We did everything possible
to keep it quiet at this end.
1567
01:03:33,980 --> 01:03:36,240
- You need me around here, Gerry.
1568
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:38,670
I fought a pitched battle
against the entrenched forces
1569
01:03:38,670 --> 01:03:40,173
of conservatives and then won!
1570
01:03:41,404 --> 01:03:43,050
In fact, I've been so bloody successful
1571
01:03:43,050 --> 01:03:44,700
those very same forces have turned around
1572
01:03:44,700 --> 01:03:46,740
and adopted my ideas as
if they were their own.
1573
01:03:46,740 --> 01:03:47,623
- Are you referring to me?
1574
01:03:47,623 --> 01:03:49,323
- Yes, I am referring to you!
1575
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:52,440
Because of what I've
done, we're gonna have
1576
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:54,670
the greatest years we've ever had.
1577
01:03:54,670 --> 01:03:55,760
We're gonna have a triumph that'll make
1578
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:58,260
the famous years of the '20s
look pale by comparison,
1579
01:03:58,260 --> 01:04:00,270
and I'm gonna be here
while it's happening.
1580
01:04:00,270 --> 01:04:02,520
No little trollop's
gonna deprive me of that.
1581
01:04:04,164 --> 01:04:06,900
The committee will stick by me to a man.
1582
01:04:06,900 --> 01:04:07,850
- Wanna bet?
1583
01:04:07,850 --> 01:04:09,542
- Stake my life on it.
1584
01:04:09,542 --> 01:04:10,792
- Then you're a dead man.
1585
01:04:11,630 --> 01:04:13,420
I'm gonna move that you stand down.
1586
01:04:13,420 --> 01:04:15,470
- You won't get a second.
1587
01:04:15,470 --> 01:04:16,510
- Wanna bet?
1588
01:04:16,510 --> 01:04:17,730
- You'll never get the numbers.
1589
01:04:17,730 --> 01:04:20,203
Ian, and Kevin, and Jeff
are my personal friends.
1590
01:04:34,650 --> 01:04:36,820
- If the feeling around the committee is
1591
01:04:36,820 --> 01:04:40,760
that you should resign,
Ted, it's not necessarily
1592
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:42,710
that we don't believe you're innocent
1593
01:04:43,820 --> 01:04:45,120
or we're not your friends.
1594
01:04:46,090 --> 01:04:48,360
It's just that the
committee, unfortunately,
1595
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:50,540
has to face realities.
1596
01:04:50,540 --> 01:04:52,820
The reality is that we can't afford
1597
01:04:52,820 --> 01:04:55,640
to jeopardise the credibility of the club
1598
01:04:55,640 --> 01:05:00,070
by retaining a president
who's erred in the way
1599
01:05:00,070 --> 01:05:05,070
the public is going to
(coughing) think you've erred.
1600
01:05:07,131 --> 01:05:08,670
- What kinda logic is that?
1601
01:05:08,670 --> 01:05:09,913
- Business logic, Ted.
1602
01:05:11,290 --> 01:05:14,483
You brought it to this
club, and you were right.
1603
01:05:15,810 --> 01:05:20,440
Loyalty to any one individual
is a luxury we can't afford
1604
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:22,990
in a business with a
multi-million dollar turnover.
1605
01:05:24,180 --> 01:05:27,050
You'll get my vote to
retain you, of course.
1606
01:05:27,050 --> 01:05:30,183
But if the consensus goes the other way,
1607
01:05:31,300 --> 01:05:33,720
I hope you'll understand their viewpoint.
1608
01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:35,170
- They're gonna get you, Ted.
1609
01:05:37,420 --> 01:05:38,403
Give up gracefully.
1610
01:05:40,500 --> 01:05:43,052
- I've had my differences
with you, Laurie.
1611
01:05:43,052 --> 01:05:44,210
But I've been a good president,
1612
01:05:44,210 --> 01:05:47,063
not a great one, but a good one.
1613
01:05:48,286 --> 01:05:50,770
They won't throw me out if
I lay my record on the line.
1614
01:05:50,770 --> 01:05:52,463
- You served your purpose, Ted.
1615
01:05:53,697 --> 01:05:54,800
They don't need you anymore.
1616
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:57,313
If they didn't need
me, they'd sack me too.
1617
01:06:05,950 --> 01:06:10,163
- Well, no one's gonna sack me.
1618
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:13,840
I've just resigned.
1619
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:16,890
- Oh, I'm sorry this has happened, Ted.
1620
01:06:16,890 --> 01:06:18,443
You have been a good president.
1621
01:06:19,340 --> 01:06:21,350
You certainly won't be forgotten.
1622
01:06:21,350 --> 01:06:22,997
You fought to get me my job here,
1623
01:06:22,997 --> 01:06:24,547
and I won't forget that either.
1624
01:06:25,570 --> 01:06:28,570
I just hope that I can
go on and do justice
1625
01:06:28,570 --> 01:06:30,393
to the faith that you've shown in me.
1626
01:06:33,100 --> 01:06:34,100
- I'm sure you will.
1627
01:06:44,263 --> 01:06:47,730
Well, I, I hope that you and young Geoff
1628
01:06:47,730 --> 01:06:48,563
sort out your differences, Laurie.
1629
01:06:48,563 --> 01:06:52,663
I'll doubt if I'll ever be
dashing off $10,000 checks again.
1630
01:06:53,940 --> 01:06:56,493
I'd like to think that
my money was well spent.
1631
01:06:58,610 --> 01:07:01,023
- Yeah, so would I.
1632
01:07:04,870 --> 01:07:07,390
- Do you know what I thought was the
1633
01:07:07,390 --> 01:07:09,960
best game of football you ever played?
1634
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:12,143
The day you took on Dick Turner in '62.
1635
01:07:13,010 --> 01:07:16,913
Mind you, I think he just
shaded you by a whisker.
1636
01:07:18,489 --> 01:07:20,650
- There's a lot of people who don't.
1637
01:07:20,650 --> 01:07:25,000
- It was like two magicians
trying to outdo one another.
1638
01:07:26,890 --> 01:07:29,697
- Well, I think everyone got
their two bobs out of it.
1639
01:08:40,590 --> 01:08:44,683
- Geoff, it's about time
I had it out with you.
1640
01:08:48,930 --> 01:08:51,250
It'll be one of histories
great understatements to say
1641
01:08:51,250 --> 01:08:55,433
I'm not very impressed with
your attitude or your habits.
1642
01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:57,560
Look me in the eye!
1643
01:08:57,560 --> 01:08:58,860
Listen to what I'm saying!
1644
01:09:01,340 --> 01:09:04,340
Now you may think it's
a big joke to smoke,
1645
01:09:04,340 --> 01:09:08,260
screw, and take Ted Parker's money,
1646
01:09:08,260 --> 01:09:10,060
but I don't think that's funny.
1647
01:09:10,060 --> 01:09:10,893
- He can afford it.
1648
01:09:10,893 --> 01:09:11,893
- No, he can't!
1649
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:14,920
He's about to go bankrupt.
1650
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:17,890
Now he may be a pompous
little turd, but he's seen
1651
01:09:17,890 --> 01:09:21,980
every game this club's
played since he was six.
1652
01:09:21,980 --> 01:09:23,090
Well that may not impress you,
1653
01:09:23,090 --> 01:09:25,080
but by Christ, it impresses me.
1654
01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:27,533
- Laurie, you're giving me the shits.
1655
01:09:29,340 --> 01:09:31,140
- You're giving me the shits, Geoff.
1656
01:09:33,130 --> 01:09:35,710
If you're on about this peace and love
1657
01:09:35,710 --> 01:09:38,770
and non-competitiveness, then just pay
1658
01:09:38,770 --> 01:09:40,230
back your money and get out.
1659
01:09:40,230 --> 01:09:43,230
But I'll you one thing,
you'll wish you hadn't.
1660
01:09:43,230 --> 01:09:45,920
That first night at
training, you beat Tank.
1661
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:47,610
You were so bloody pleased with yourself
1662
01:09:47,610 --> 01:09:49,360
you had tears in your eyes.
1663
01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:50,380
- Bullshit.
1664
01:09:50,380 --> 01:09:52,420
- It's not bullshit.
1665
01:09:52,420 --> 01:09:54,020
I know the feeling.
1666
01:09:54,020 --> 01:09:57,290
I ought to, I've been
missing it for 15 years.
1667
01:09:57,290 --> 01:10:00,360
- Laurie, can't you
understand, football bores me!
1668
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:01,560
When I was 12, I was living in a little
1669
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:02,910
country town and my ultimate dream
1670
01:10:02,910 --> 01:10:04,530
was to get a game with the local first.
1671
01:10:04,530 --> 01:10:06,830
Six years later I was playing
centre for the state side,
1672
01:10:06,830 --> 01:10:08,120
I was an acknowledged champion.
1673
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:09,280
- No where weren't!
1674
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:11,740
You were just a kid with potential.
1675
01:10:11,740 --> 01:10:14,070
And that's what you still are!
1676
01:10:14,070 --> 01:10:17,020
Anybody who wasn't
cross-eyed or bandy-legged
1677
01:10:17,020 --> 01:10:20,053
could get a game with
a Tasmanian state side.
1678
01:10:21,370 --> 01:10:25,530
You're in the big league now,
Geoff, and you're scared.
1679
01:10:25,530 --> 01:10:27,380
Scared you're not half
as good a footballer
1680
01:10:27,380 --> 01:10:29,580
as you bloody thought you were.
1681
01:10:29,580 --> 01:10:32,970
No good telling me that
you can beat Wilson.
1682
01:10:32,970 --> 01:10:34,480
You gotta do it!
1683
01:10:34,480 --> 01:10:38,340
And until you've got the guts
to get out there and try,
1684
01:10:38,340 --> 01:10:40,670
you can sit and rot in the reserves
1685
01:10:40,670 --> 01:10:43,493
for the arrogant young turd you are!
1686
01:10:46,060 --> 01:10:48,290
- I'm more than a kid
with potential, Laurie!
1687
01:10:49,860 --> 01:10:53,060
They don't pay 120,000 bucks
for a kid with potential!
1688
01:10:53,060 --> 01:10:55,750
- Normal people wouldn't,
but as you pointed out,
1689
01:10:55,750 --> 01:10:57,920
this is club is run by morons.
1690
01:10:57,920 --> 01:10:59,660
Now I meant what I said.
1691
01:10:59,660 --> 01:11:01,250
I don't wanna see your face down
1692
01:11:01,250 --> 01:11:03,975
at the club again until you mean business.
1693
01:11:03,975 --> 01:11:05,466
(engine revving)
1694
01:11:05,466 --> 01:11:07,154
(tyres squealing)
1695
01:11:07,154 --> 01:11:09,221
(Susie applauding)
1696
01:11:09,221 --> 01:11:10,490
- Did you hear that?
1697
01:11:10,490 --> 01:11:12,193
- I think the whole street did.
1698
01:11:13,350 --> 01:11:15,350
- A kid with potential.
1699
01:11:15,350 --> 01:11:16,980
Did you hear what he said?
1700
01:11:16,980 --> 01:11:18,403
A kid with potential.
1701
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:28,603
- Who are you to sit in
judgement on me, McFee?
1702
01:11:34,460 --> 01:11:36,733
You only played 151
games and not one of 'em
1703
01:11:36,733 --> 01:11:38,533
was worth a pinch of poop (burping).
1704
01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:42,537
Hacks, deadbeats, the lot of yas!
1705
01:11:46,613 --> 01:11:50,570
Only picture that should
be up there is mine.
1706
01:11:50,570 --> 01:11:55,570
292 games as a player, four
premierships as a coach.
1707
01:12:35,267 --> 01:12:37,850
(horn honking)
1708
01:12:42,048 --> 01:12:44,631
(horn honking)
1709
01:13:03,630 --> 01:13:08,630
(faint speaking)
(typewriter keys clicking)
1710
01:13:11,070 --> 01:13:12,060
- Who is that girl you and Jock
1711
01:13:12,060 --> 01:13:13,560
were talking to the other day?
1712
01:13:15,060 --> 01:13:16,570
- Which girl?
1713
01:13:16,570 --> 01:13:18,877
- Before you came over to
talk to me at training.
1714
01:13:18,877 --> 01:13:22,023
- Oh, that girl, she's just
applying for a typist job.
1715
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:24,433
- Come on, Gerry.
1716
01:13:25,660 --> 01:13:27,690
That was no typist.
1717
01:13:27,690 --> 01:13:28,757
Was that the stripper?
1718
01:13:28,757 --> 01:13:30,057
- No, of course it wasn't.
1719
01:13:31,277 --> 01:13:32,227
- Well who was she?
1720
01:13:37,060 --> 01:13:38,343
Come on, I wanna know!
1721
01:13:39,250 --> 01:13:41,050
- Okay, Laurie, it was the stripper.
1722
01:13:42,296 --> 01:13:43,750
- And what was she doing here?
1723
01:13:43,750 --> 01:13:45,130
- She was angry.
1724
01:13:45,130 --> 01:13:47,483
- She just came here to
tell you she was angry?
1725
01:13:48,590 --> 01:13:50,370
- No, she came here to
tell us she was gonna sue.
1726
01:13:50,370 --> 01:13:51,800
- Unless we paid her money.
1727
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:52,890
- So why didn't you.
1728
01:13:52,890 --> 01:13:54,000
- Nothing to do with us.
1729
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:55,320
We told her if she wanted money
1730
01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:56,943
she better go and see Ted.
1731
01:13:57,950 --> 01:13:59,104
- Ted's just gone bankrupt!
1732
01:13:59,104 --> 01:14:01,010
- Well that's not our bloody fault!
1733
01:14:01,010 --> 01:14:01,930
- How much did she want?
1734
01:14:01,930 --> 01:14:02,763
- A lot, and--
1735
01:14:02,763 --> 01:14:03,790
- A thousand dollars.
1736
01:14:03,790 --> 01:14:05,150
- A thousand dollars?
1737
01:14:05,150 --> 01:14:09,360
You just paid $120,000
for one useless player,
1738
01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:12,420
and you won't spend 1,000
to keep the club president
1739
01:14:12,420 --> 01:14:14,130
off the cover of some scandal sheet?
1740
01:14:14,130 --> 01:14:15,760
- Laurie, it's not as simple as that.
1741
01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:17,290
- You had this set up with
the press, didn't you,
1742
01:14:17,290 --> 01:14:18,990
right from the start?
1743
01:14:18,990 --> 01:14:19,823
Jesus.
1744
01:14:19,823 --> 01:14:20,656
- I don't know why you're getting
1745
01:14:20,656 --> 01:14:22,000
so bloody moral about this Laurie.
1746
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:24,493
You rubbished him in the press
yourself pretty recently.
1747
01:14:28,986 --> 01:14:31,653
(door slamming)
1748
01:14:50,910 --> 01:14:52,440
I mean, let's face it, Laurie,
1749
01:14:52,440 --> 01:14:54,790
Parker's a disgrace to this club.
1750
01:14:54,790 --> 01:14:57,540
Hittin' a woman, what a bloody disgrace.
1751
01:14:57,540 --> 01:14:58,580
- I wouldn't have thought that anyone
1752
01:14:58,580 --> 01:15:01,030
who'd given his wife as
many black eyes as you have
1753
01:15:01,030 --> 01:15:02,943
would be quite so self-righteous.
1754
01:15:03,940 --> 01:15:06,460
- Sometimes you're too smart
for your own good, Laurie.
1755
01:15:06,460 --> 01:15:08,970
- Beneath that rough charm of yours
1756
01:15:08,970 --> 01:15:11,500
that has served you so
well for all these years,
1757
01:15:11,500 --> 01:15:15,583
Jock, ol' mate, there's a
cunning and ruthless old turd.
1758
01:15:18,690 --> 01:15:19,870
- You've had it in for me ever since
1759
01:15:19,870 --> 01:15:21,790
I laid you out behind the lockers.
1760
01:15:21,790 --> 01:15:24,460
- Well, that certainly didn't help,
1761
01:15:24,460 --> 01:15:26,460
a tap on the shoulder and then a king hit
1762
01:15:26,460 --> 01:15:29,270
before I could raise a
finger in my own defence.
1763
01:15:29,270 --> 01:15:32,040
So I shouldn't have been surprised.
1764
01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:35,460
I knew what you were
about long before that.
1765
01:15:35,460 --> 01:15:38,063
I saw the last game of
football you ever played.
1766
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:40,710
- Ah, bullshit.
1767
01:15:40,710 --> 01:15:42,500
You wouldn't have been out of your cradle.
1768
01:15:42,500 --> 01:15:43,333
- I was eight.
1769
01:15:44,190 --> 01:15:45,880
I used to worm away down to the fence
1770
01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:47,880
so I could get a better look at the game.
1771
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:50,980
What was the name of
that bloke you flattened?
1772
01:15:50,980 --> 01:15:51,920
- Ah, you weren't there.
1773
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:53,720
- Yes, I was.
1774
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:57,290
The whole thing happened about 20 yards
1775
01:15:57,290 --> 01:15:58,510
from where I was standing.
1776
01:15:58,510 --> 01:16:00,730
You waited until he started
to pick himself up off
1777
01:16:00,730 --> 01:16:04,126
the ground, then you went
straight in with your knee.
1778
01:16:04,126 --> 01:16:05,426
(whistle shrieking)
1779
01:16:05,426 --> 01:16:06,593
- [Crowd] Ooh!
1780
01:16:07,690 --> 01:16:12,353
- He'd a been about 5'7", and
he weighed about 10 stone.
1781
01:16:13,210 --> 01:16:14,730
What'd ya say his name was again, Jock?
1782
01:16:14,730 --> 01:16:15,810
- That's enough, Laurie.
1783
01:16:15,810 --> 01:16:18,550
- Ah, he wasn't as badly
hurt as the papers made out.
1784
01:16:18,550 --> 01:16:20,630
- Some people think you retired after
1785
01:16:20,630 --> 01:16:23,810
that game out of remorse, Jock.
1786
01:16:23,810 --> 01:16:25,700
But I know you better.
1787
01:16:25,700 --> 01:16:28,370
This club was told by every
other club in the league
1788
01:16:28,370 --> 01:16:30,040
that if you took the football field again
1789
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:32,250
you'd be lucky to get off it alive.
1790
01:16:32,250 --> 01:16:33,500
- They didn't scare me.
1791
01:16:33,500 --> 01:16:35,560
- Not much they didn't.
1792
01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:37,370
- Nobody's ever called me a coward.
1793
01:16:37,370 --> 01:16:39,330
- Well, I'm calling ya one now!
1794
01:16:39,330 --> 01:16:41,610
And if you're gonna be our new president,
1795
01:16:41,610 --> 01:16:44,385
then this is definitely
my last year as coach.
1796
01:16:44,385 --> 01:16:46,920
- It's gonna be your last
year, anyway, smart ass!
1797
01:16:46,920 --> 01:16:48,190
We're getting ourselves a real coach
1798
01:16:48,190 --> 01:16:49,460
around here next year, thank Christ.
1799
01:16:49,460 --> 01:16:51,460
So stick that in your pipe and smoke it!
1800
01:16:55,620 --> 01:16:56,620
- Am I being sacked?
1801
01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:01,710
- There's some talk they
might not renew your contract.
1802
01:17:02,790 --> 01:17:03,623
- But there's no one around here
1803
01:17:03,623 --> 01:17:05,283
who can do the job as well as I can.
1804
01:17:06,300 --> 01:17:08,710
- There's also some talk of
dispensing with the tradition
1805
01:17:08,710 --> 01:17:11,083
that the coach must have
played for the club.
1806
01:17:12,530 --> 01:17:14,060
- I see.
1807
01:17:14,060 --> 01:17:15,053
Just like that.
1808
01:17:17,657 --> 01:17:18,657
Who are you getting?
1809
01:17:21,345 --> 01:17:22,785
- Rustov's name is being mentioned.
1810
01:17:22,785 --> 01:17:23,618
- Rustov!
1811
01:17:24,500 --> 01:17:26,670
Treats his men like animals.
1812
01:17:26,670 --> 01:17:28,320
- You've had eight years, Laurie.
1813
01:17:29,500 --> 01:17:30,628
You haven't come up with the goods.
1814
01:17:30,628 --> 01:17:32,062
- I haven't had the players to come up
1815
01:17:32,062 --> 01:17:34,440
with the goods, for Christ sake.
1816
01:17:34,440 --> 01:17:36,140
Gerry, you can't do this to me.
1817
01:17:36,140 --> 01:17:39,010
I've laid my guts out for eight years,
1818
01:17:39,010 --> 01:17:42,400
dragging rat shit teams up
from the bottom of the ladder.
1819
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:44,410
You buy me the players I want
1820
01:17:45,438 --> 01:17:47,780
and I'll win a premiership for you.
1821
01:17:47,780 --> 01:17:49,270
- I don't doubt it.
1822
01:17:49,270 --> 01:17:50,870
I know this isn't going to
make you feel any better,
1823
01:17:50,870 --> 01:17:53,580
but the consensus of
opinion around the traps
1824
01:17:53,580 --> 01:17:55,243
is that after Rostov,
1825
01:17:56,190 --> 01:17:59,080
you're the next best
coach in the business.
1826
01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:01,163
Chances are, you could win us the flag.
1827
01:18:03,207 --> 01:18:06,020
But the club's been waiting
for 19 years, Laurie.
1828
01:18:06,020 --> 01:18:09,000
The committee wants to be absolutely sure,
1829
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,300
and I can see their point of view.
1830
01:18:11,300 --> 01:18:13,990
- So can I, quite clearly.
1831
01:18:13,990 --> 01:18:15,720
- I mean, you'll have no trouble
1832
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:17,640
getting another team to coach, Laurie.
1833
01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:20,843
- I don't want another team to coach.
1834
01:18:28,019 --> 01:18:32,019
(faint chattering and laughing)
1835
01:18:43,094 --> 01:18:44,280
- I've been called all sorts of things
1836
01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:47,060
in my time, Laurie, but never a coward.
1837
01:18:47,060 --> 01:18:48,400
And what about you?
1838
01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:50,020
Sneaking around to the
committee behind my back
1839
01:18:50,020 --> 01:18:51,520
and telling that I was drunk
1840
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:52,750
just so you could get my job.
1841
01:18:52,750 --> 01:18:53,840
You call that courage?
1842
01:18:53,840 --> 01:18:56,530
- You had just lost us a premiership.
1843
01:18:56,530 --> 01:19:00,210
- Ah, I notice you didn't win
too many when you took over.
1844
01:19:00,210 --> 01:19:02,000
- And do you know why?
1845
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:03,900
- Oh, I'm to blame for that too, am I?
1846
01:19:04,890 --> 01:19:08,320
- You and your cronies
wouldn't let me buy players.
1847
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:11,000
- We were upholding an old tradition!
1848
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:12,850
We were wrong, but we believed in it.
1849
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:14,793
- They might have.
1850
01:19:14,793 --> 01:19:17,033
You did it to stop me getting a flag.
1851
01:19:18,687 --> 01:19:20,590
- That's crazy talk, Laurie.
1852
01:19:20,590 --> 01:19:22,830
You really think I'd sabotage this club
1853
01:19:22,830 --> 01:19:24,151
for eight years just to get back at you?
1854
01:19:24,151 --> 01:19:24,984
- Yes, I do.
1855
01:19:24,984 --> 01:19:26,610
- Then you're crazy!
1856
01:19:26,610 --> 01:19:28,000
It's just as well we're gettin' rid of ya.
1857
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:29,810
- You were a thug as a football player,
1858
01:19:29,810 --> 01:19:32,130
you were a lousy coach,
and you're the last
1859
01:19:32,130 --> 01:19:34,010
person in the world who
should be president!
1860
01:19:34,010 --> 01:19:36,173
- You can call me what you like, mate.
1861
01:19:38,100 --> 01:19:39,080
The record books are gonna show
1862
01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:41,660
that I played three
more games than you did.
1863
01:19:41,660 --> 01:19:44,193
And I won four more premierships.
1864
01:19:46,237 --> 01:19:50,320
And they're still gonna
saying that in 100 years.
1865
01:19:53,285 --> 01:19:57,368
(players yelling and chattering)
1866
01:20:15,027 --> 01:20:16,800
- I'm gonna fight this.
1867
01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:19,070
I'm buggered if I'm
gonna let an oily weasel
1868
01:20:19,070 --> 01:20:21,260
like you get the better of me.
1869
01:20:21,260 --> 01:20:24,100
I love this club, and I love the game,
1870
01:20:24,100 --> 01:20:25,650
and this photo of me is not going
1871
01:20:25,650 --> 01:20:28,940
back up there until you and Jock are gone.
1872
01:20:28,940 --> 01:20:30,190
- I don't love this club,
1873
01:20:32,650 --> 01:20:34,840
and I don't particularly like the game,
1874
01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:38,270
and that might make me an
oily weasel in your eyes.
1875
01:20:38,270 --> 01:20:40,470
But I happen to be the
best football administrator
1876
01:20:40,470 --> 01:20:43,273
in the country, and you're
only the second best coach,
1877
01:20:44,330 --> 01:20:45,750
so don't count on being able to return
1878
01:20:45,750 --> 01:20:47,450
that photo for quite a long while.
1879
01:20:56,900 --> 01:20:59,280
- Hey, I told you not to turn up
1880
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:01,130
unless you really meant business.
1881
01:21:01,130 --> 01:21:01,963
- Yeah, you did.
1882
01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:05,854
Have they told you're getting the sack?
1883
01:21:05,854 --> 01:21:06,820
- [Laurie] Who told you?
1884
01:21:06,820 --> 01:21:07,653
- Jock.
1885
01:21:08,730 --> 01:21:09,650
- Right.
1886
01:21:09,650 --> 01:21:12,060
Seems like everybody's
heard about it except me.
1887
01:21:12,060 --> 01:21:12,893
- Hmm.
1888
01:21:14,130 --> 01:21:15,560
- Geoff, I'm going to ask you
1889
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:19,656
for the first and last time for your help.
1890
01:21:19,656 --> 01:21:22,450
You're not just a kid with potential,
1891
01:21:22,450 --> 01:21:24,830
you are an amazingly talented footballer,
1892
01:21:24,830 --> 01:21:28,060
and I made a mistake taking you
off so soon that first game.
1893
01:21:28,060 --> 01:21:30,250
- Didn't exactly burst my confidence.
1894
01:21:30,250 --> 01:21:31,900
- If you wanna start hitting your form,
1895
01:21:31,900 --> 01:21:33,240
I think I can help.
1896
01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:34,870
- Why bother if they're gonna sack you?
1897
01:21:34,870 --> 01:21:36,750
- Because I wanna start winning matches
1898
01:21:36,750 --> 01:21:39,240
and embarrass the bastards!
1899
01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:41,950
Think you can handle playing centre?
1900
01:21:41,950 --> 01:21:43,810
- Danny's not gonna like that.
1901
01:21:43,810 --> 01:21:45,920
- Let me handle Danny.
1902
01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:48,020
If I can get Alan to knock
the ball down to you,
1903
01:21:48,020 --> 01:21:49,130
you get the first kick.
1904
01:21:49,130 --> 01:21:51,380
If you can really do something with it,
1905
01:21:51,380 --> 01:21:53,720
you'll be right for the rest of the game.
1906
01:21:53,720 --> 01:21:56,760
And if we win 12 out of the next 15,
1907
01:21:56,760 --> 01:21:58,950
we can still make it to the finals.
1908
01:21:58,950 --> 01:21:59,783
- The finals?
1909
01:21:59,783 --> 01:22:00,616
You're joking.
1910
01:22:00,616 --> 01:22:02,110
- We can!
1911
01:22:02,110 --> 01:22:04,463
Especially if you start
hitting your straps.
1912
01:22:07,437 --> 01:22:09,020
- You're the coach.
1913
01:22:12,447 --> 01:22:14,560
(players chattering)
1914
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:15,393
- Hey!
1915
01:22:15,393 --> 01:22:16,470
Hey!
1916
01:22:16,470 --> 01:22:17,620
They're getting Rostov.
1917
01:22:18,573 --> 01:22:19,890
Like hell they're getting Rostov.
1918
01:22:19,890 --> 01:22:21,289
Come on, I want everyone.
1919
01:22:21,289 --> 01:22:24,058
(players chattering)
1920
01:22:24,058 --> 01:22:25,308
- Danny, Danny!
1921
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:27,623
No more strikes.
1922
01:22:29,060 --> 01:22:31,266
I just want you to help me
get you into the finals.
1923
01:22:31,266 --> 01:22:32,933
- The finals?
- What?
1924
01:22:35,830 --> 01:22:36,663
- Yeah, well they'll look pretty
1925
01:22:36,663 --> 01:22:38,000
stupid if they sack you then.
1926
01:22:40,810 --> 01:22:42,104
It would help if moneybags here got off
1927
01:22:42,104 --> 01:22:44,154
his bum and start doing something useful.
1928
01:22:45,230 --> 01:22:46,310
Stick him in the centre tomorrow
1929
01:22:46,310 --> 01:22:47,710
and make him earn his money.
1930
01:22:48,723 --> 01:22:51,960
- Well it might help him
to get his confidence back.
1931
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:54,180
- Put me down the back pocket.
1932
01:22:54,180 --> 01:22:56,003
I've been dying for a rest for years.
1933
01:23:00,030 --> 01:23:02,540
- I'll think about it.
1934
01:23:02,540 --> 01:23:04,090
- You've taken your photo down?
1935
01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:07,910
- Good thinkin'.
1936
01:23:07,910 --> 01:23:08,800
Who'd want to be up on the wall
1937
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:11,650
lookin' down on that bunch of crooks, eh?
1938
01:23:11,650 --> 01:23:14,691
Men, come on!
1939
01:23:14,691 --> 01:23:15,660
- [Player] Come on, let's go.
1940
01:23:15,660 --> 01:23:17,210
- [Player] Let's all bloody go!
1941
01:23:18,851 --> 01:23:19,768
- Hey, hey!
1942
01:23:57,167 --> 01:24:01,417
("Up There, Cazaly" by Mike Brady)
1943
01:24:22,098 --> 01:24:24,394
- Well come on fellas,
what are we waitin' for?
1944
01:24:24,394 --> 01:24:27,311
(players cheering)
1945
01:24:48,288 --> 01:24:50,103
I'd be very careful of that one, Geoff.
1946
01:25:01,730 --> 01:25:03,805
- [Players] Aw!
1947
01:25:03,805 --> 01:25:07,722
- Well don't just let it
lie there, jump on it!
1948
01:25:08,825 --> 01:25:12,825
(players cheering and clapping)
1949
01:25:22,608 --> 01:25:23,441
- Excuse me, Jock.
1950
01:25:23,441 --> 01:25:24,963
- This some kind of juvenile protest?
1951
01:25:25,970 --> 01:25:26,803
- Yeah.
1952
01:25:28,170 --> 01:25:29,920
If the committee happen
to notice they've gone,
1953
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:31,140
they might ask themselves why
1954
01:25:31,140 --> 01:25:33,170
before they go appointing Rostov.
1955
01:25:33,170 --> 01:25:35,043
- What are you doing
appointing this lot, Geoff?
1956
01:25:35,923 --> 01:25:37,373
- I don't want Rostov either.
1957
01:25:38,410 --> 01:25:39,542
Excuse me.
1958
01:25:39,542 --> 01:25:42,247
- I hope this gives you some
small satisfaction, Laurie.
1959
01:25:42,247 --> 01:25:43,080
(laughing)
1960
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:43,913
- [Tank] Excuse me, Jock.
1961
01:25:43,913 --> 01:25:45,270
- Yeah, it does.
1962
01:25:45,270 --> 01:25:46,690
- I see you've got young
Geoff back on side.
1963
01:25:46,690 --> 01:25:47,620
- Yeah.
1964
01:25:47,620 --> 01:25:49,480
I've got a feeling he's
gonna play very well
1965
01:25:49,480 --> 01:25:50,470
for the rest of the season.
1966
01:25:50,470 --> 01:25:52,800
- Yeah, well don't count on it.
1967
01:25:52,800 --> 01:25:54,840
I know something about him that you don't.
1968
01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:56,351
- Good for you.
1969
01:25:56,351 --> 01:25:57,601
I'll see you at the game.
1970
01:26:00,210 --> 01:26:01,603
Excuse me, Jock.
1971
01:26:07,278 --> 01:26:09,290
- You've been a great help.
1972
01:26:09,290 --> 01:26:10,510
You've let 'em know about Rostov.
1973
01:26:10,510 --> 01:26:12,320
Now they're all up in
arms and ready to fight.
1974
01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:14,368
What if they start winning
for the rest of the year?
1975
01:26:14,368 --> 01:26:16,110
- It won't matter, the
committee wants Rostov.
1976
01:26:16,110 --> 01:26:17,090
- The committee?
1977
01:26:17,090 --> 01:26:19,613
I wouldn't trust the committee
as far as I could kick them.
1978
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:24,560
What's this stuff you know about Geoff?
1979
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:26,410
- He's totally bloody unstable.
1980
01:26:26,410 --> 01:26:28,380
The first thing we do
next year is sell him.
1981
01:26:28,380 --> 01:26:29,213
- Sell him?
1982
01:26:29,213 --> 01:26:30,046
- Yeah.
1983
01:26:31,270 --> 01:26:32,920
He's been up his mom
and his legless sister,
1984
01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:34,720
and he thinks he killed his old man.
1985
01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:36,593
- What?
1986
01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:38,790
- He confided in me.
1987
01:26:38,790 --> 01:26:41,037
So you know, don't go saying
anything, but (laughing).
1988
01:26:43,014 --> 01:26:45,550
Hey, if he starts playing too good,
1989
01:26:45,550 --> 01:26:47,853
we can always leak a rumour or two.
1990
01:26:49,440 --> 01:26:52,890
- Jock, Geoff has two
brothers, no sisters,
1991
01:26:52,890 --> 01:26:55,490
and his father had his
54th birthday last week.
1992
01:27:01,563 --> 01:27:06,563
(lively band music)
(crowd cheering)
1993
01:27:17,399 --> 01:27:18,580
- [Announcer] Well there's
no doubt about it, Scotty.
1994
01:27:18,580 --> 01:27:20,210
This is the most phenomenal comeback
1995
01:27:20,210 --> 01:27:21,749
in the history of football.
1996
01:27:21,749 --> 01:27:22,673
Who would have ever dreamt that
1997
01:27:22,673 --> 01:27:24,860
they would have come back
and make the Grand Final
1998
01:27:24,860 --> 01:27:27,250
after losing five games in a row.
1999
01:27:27,250 --> 01:27:28,290
- I'll admit it, Lou.
2000
01:27:28,290 --> 01:27:29,123
I predicted that there would be a comeback
2001
01:27:29,123 --> 01:27:31,090
and I also said that that young kid
2002
01:27:31,090 --> 01:27:33,251
from Tasmania, Geoff
Hayward, would come good.
2003
01:27:33,251 --> 01:27:34,326
- You're a genius.
2004
01:27:34,326 --> 01:27:35,750
- You turncoat!
2005
01:27:35,750 --> 01:27:37,010
You said the best thing ever to come
2006
01:27:37,010 --> 01:27:38,157
out of Tasmania was Errol Flynn.
2007
01:27:38,157 --> 01:27:40,360
You said they're so inbred that their
2008
01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:41,750
aeroplanes have got square wheels
2009
01:27:41,750 --> 01:27:43,070
and they got hair under their wings!
2010
01:27:43,070 --> 01:27:43,903
- What a lot of rubbish.
2011
01:27:43,903 --> 01:27:45,470
Look, all people wanna talk about
2012
01:27:45,470 --> 01:27:46,529
and wanna hear about from us
2013
01:27:46,529 --> 01:27:47,820
is who's gonna win the game tomorrow.
2014
01:27:47,820 --> 01:27:49,119
- I'm freaked if I know.
2015
01:27:49,119 --> 01:27:51,786
(crowd roaring)
2016
01:28:07,150 --> 01:28:09,709
- Now this is the ultimate in football!
2017
01:28:09,709 --> 01:28:11,037
(players cheering)
2018
01:28:11,037 --> 01:28:13,320
Hey, you can achieve
miracles in this world
2019
01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:15,047
if you bloody want to.
2020
01:28:15,047 --> 01:28:16,880
If you want to enough.
2021
01:28:18,378 --> 01:28:20,877
Now this has gone beyond
the stage of wanting,
2022
01:28:20,877 --> 01:28:23,960
this is something that we have to do!
2023
01:28:25,147 --> 01:28:26,956
Because if we don't, we won't
2024
01:28:26,956 --> 01:28:29,537
be able to live with ourselves.
2025
01:28:29,537 --> 01:28:30,787
We have to win!
2026
01:28:32,104 --> 01:28:32,937
Alright?
2027
01:28:32,937 --> 01:28:35,193
There are no prizes for second place.
2028
01:28:36,630 --> 01:28:40,073
All I want from you is
everything you've got and more!
2029
01:28:41,674 --> 01:28:42,893
Are you ready to give it?
2030
01:28:42,893 --> 01:28:47,060
(players cheering and chattering)
2031
01:28:53,293 --> 01:28:55,863
(crowd roaring)
2032
01:28:55,863 --> 01:28:57,602
- [Announcer] Fitzroy
playing great football
2033
01:28:57,602 --> 01:28:58,682
as the ball is sent back towards
2034
01:28:58,682 --> 01:29:00,572
their centre halfback, Bellinger.
2035
01:29:00,572 --> 01:29:02,276
There's Haywood coming across.
- Good mark, good mark.
2036
01:29:02,276 --> 01:29:03,225
- [Announcer] A magnificent mark.
2037
01:29:03,225 --> 01:29:04,433
He's starting to fire now,
2038
01:29:04,433 --> 01:29:05,483
and he's making those Collingwood
2039
01:29:05,483 --> 01:29:07,463
fans really jump out of those seats.
2040
01:29:07,463 --> 01:29:08,382
A handpass.
2041
01:29:08,382 --> 01:29:09,215
- [Announcer] To number
one, that's Rowe, Lou.
2042
01:29:09,215 --> 01:29:10,410
- [Announcer] Down towards
the wing position now.
2043
01:29:10,410 --> 01:29:12,720
A bit of a struggle going on out there,
2044
01:29:12,720 --> 01:29:14,550
but Collingwood coming out with the ball.
2045
01:29:14,550 --> 01:29:16,763
That's Danny Rowe having
a long shot for goal.
2046
01:29:16,763 --> 01:29:19,013
And we have a goal, and
so he should be elated.
2047
01:29:19,013 --> 01:29:21,763
(crowd cheering)
2048
01:29:28,770 --> 01:29:31,130
It's down towards the
centre half forward position
2049
01:29:31,130 --> 01:29:33,810
for Collingwood, and big
Peter Moore takes the mark,
2050
01:29:33,810 --> 01:29:36,423
and ready to send Collingwood
back into attack again.
2051
01:29:37,462 --> 01:29:39,851
A hefty kick by Moore down there toward
2052
01:29:39,851 --> 01:29:42,220
the half forward position.
2053
01:29:42,220 --> 01:29:43,831
That's Tank O'Donohue giving a handpass
2054
01:29:43,831 --> 01:29:45,393
over there to Ronnie Wearmouth.
2055
01:29:45,393 --> 01:29:46,226
A long shot for goal,
2056
01:29:46,226 --> 01:29:49,433
and it's another six
points for the Magpies.
2057
01:29:49,433 --> 01:29:51,521
Still Collingwood's struggled
to get on top of Fitzroy,
2058
01:29:51,521 --> 01:29:53,500
because this is a tremendous game today.
2059
01:29:53,500 --> 01:29:55,060
- [Announcer] Yes, well they're
within four points now, Lou.
2060
01:29:55,060 --> 01:29:55,893
They've come right up again.
2061
01:29:55,893 --> 01:29:56,920
- [Announcer] Well it goes down.
2062
01:29:56,920 --> 01:29:58,950
We see Wilson spinning away from the pack.
2063
01:29:58,950 --> 01:30:00,291
It's a delightful handpass
2064
01:30:00,291 --> 01:30:02,490
down there to his teammate, Brown.
2065
01:30:02,490 --> 01:30:04,420
And Brown gets the ball
as he makes a long run
2066
01:30:04,420 --> 01:30:05,850
around that wing position,
2067
01:30:05,850 --> 01:30:07,770
and finally coming across there is Ponder
2068
01:30:07,770 --> 01:30:10,090
with a left foot kick
down to the (mumbling).
2069
01:30:10,090 --> 01:30:11,640
He flies over the top of the pack
2070
01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:13,020
but he can't hold the mark!
2071
01:30:13,020 --> 01:30:15,450
It hits the deck and
everybody's on their tail
2072
01:30:15,450 --> 01:30:17,140
because neither side will give an inch.
2073
01:30:17,140 --> 01:30:19,056
It's a real ding dong struggle as we see
2074
01:30:19,056 --> 01:30:20,750
Ronnie Wearmouth break out of the pack
2075
01:30:20,750 --> 01:30:22,560
and look at this fellow go
2076
01:30:22,560 --> 01:30:24,782
as he gives a handpass
over there to Hayward.
2077
01:30:24,782 --> 01:30:26,570
He turns, comes back on his left boot.
2078
01:30:26,570 --> 01:30:27,838
And look at this shot,
2079
01:30:27,838 --> 01:30:29,458
I think he may have put this through
2080
01:30:29,458 --> 01:30:31,383
it to win a goal by Hayward!
2081
01:30:31,383 --> 01:30:32,519
- You beauty!
2082
01:30:32,519 --> 01:30:33,960
- [Announcer] (mumbling) took the goal!
2083
01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:35,851
And by golly, what a game this is.
2084
01:30:35,851 --> 01:30:37,150
- [Announcer] That puts the
Magpies into the lead now.
2085
01:30:37,150 --> 01:30:38,320
They're two points in front,
2086
01:30:38,320 --> 01:30:41,160
and it's a good capacity crowd here today.
2087
01:30:41,160 --> 01:30:43,510
130,000, we've just heard.
2088
01:30:43,510 --> 01:30:44,800
And look at 'em go.
2089
01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:47,200
- [Announcer] Fitzroy now with
the ball back into attack.
2090
01:30:47,200 --> 01:30:49,260
Down toward their centre
half forward position,
2091
01:30:49,260 --> 01:30:51,880
but once again, there we
see Collingwood skipper,
2092
01:30:51,880 --> 01:30:53,110
Danny Rowe, booting it well up
2093
01:30:53,110 --> 01:30:55,170
towards his teammate, Tank O'Donohue.
2094
01:30:55,170 --> 01:30:57,160
But it's Smith taking the ball away again.
2095
01:30:57,160 --> 01:30:58,472
In front, there was Hayward.
2096
01:30:58,472 --> 01:30:59,531
Another mark for Hayward.
2097
01:30:59,531 --> 01:31:02,427
A handpass coming over quickly to Rowe,
2098
01:31:02,427 --> 01:31:04,600
and Rowe speeding away from his opponents,
2099
01:31:04,600 --> 01:31:06,851
and that's a beautiful placed handpass
2100
01:31:06,851 --> 01:31:07,830
coming over to Moore.
2101
01:31:07,830 --> 01:31:09,510
And look at Moore break away from the pack
2102
01:31:09,510 --> 01:31:11,360
as he shoots it down there to Carson.
2103
01:31:12,310 --> 01:31:13,779
A left foot snap for goal.
2104
01:31:13,779 --> 01:31:15,570
Up they fly, the ball hits the ground.
2105
01:31:15,570 --> 01:31:17,060
Tank O'Donohue again!
2106
01:31:17,060 --> 01:31:18,581
And he put it through for another
2107
01:31:18,581 --> 01:31:20,330
six points for the Magpies.
2108
01:31:20,330 --> 01:31:21,817
The centre bounce.
2109
01:31:21,817 --> 01:31:22,650
Up it goes now.
2110
01:31:22,650 --> 01:31:26,250
Alexander and Moore, they're
both bustling for position.
2111
01:31:26,250 --> 01:31:27,083
- [Announcer] This pair are well matched.
2112
01:31:27,083 --> 01:31:28,047
They're just about even on the knock outs.
2113
01:31:28,047 --> 01:31:31,310
- [Announcer] The front
(mumbling) knocks the ball down.
2114
01:31:31,310 --> 01:31:34,960
A chance now, Coleman will
take it away from Wearmouth.
2115
01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:35,820
Strong play by Coleman.
2116
01:31:35,820 --> 01:31:38,039
A hefty kick down middle towards
2117
01:31:38,039 --> 01:31:39,399
centre half forward position,
2118
01:31:39,399 --> 01:31:40,941
but Shaw takes the mark.
2119
01:31:40,941 --> 01:31:42,690
Once again it's Ronnie Wearmouth,
2120
01:31:42,690 --> 01:31:44,780
and can this fella play football,
2121
01:31:44,780 --> 01:31:46,130
he's a great little player.
2122
01:31:47,768 --> 01:31:50,435
(crowd roaring)
2123
01:31:53,810 --> 01:31:54,643
- Oh!
2124
01:31:54,643 --> 01:31:56,519
(laughing)
2125
01:31:56,519 --> 01:31:59,269
(crowd chanting)
2126
01:32:00,393 --> 01:32:01,420
- Wilson trying to break clear,
2127
01:32:01,420 --> 01:32:02,550
but he decides to go.
2128
01:32:02,550 --> 01:32:03,960
No, that's Hanson, I should say.
2129
01:32:03,960 --> 01:32:06,170
Hanson takes the mark, gets it out wide.
2130
01:32:06,170 --> 01:32:08,840
Coming across to take the
mark at half back is Brown.
2131
01:32:08,840 --> 01:32:11,890
A long handpass up there
to the wing player, Jones,
2132
01:32:11,890 --> 01:32:13,700
and Jones shoots it down
towards Moore in the,
2133
01:32:13,700 --> 01:32:16,381
but there we see Hayward going way over
2134
01:32:16,381 --> 01:32:19,061
the top of their backs,
what a magnificent mark!
2135
01:32:19,061 --> 01:32:20,429
This fella's a real champion!
2136
01:32:20,429 --> 01:32:21,262
- Look at that!
2137
01:32:21,262 --> 01:32:23,250
- Worth every penny
they paid for this guy.
2138
01:32:23,250 --> 01:32:24,083
- [Announcer] He's a long way out, Lou.
2139
01:32:24,083 --> 01:32:24,916
- [Announcer] He's got a kick now from
2140
01:32:24,916 --> 01:32:26,877
about 65 to 70 metres out from goal.
2141
01:32:26,877 --> 01:32:28,202
Can he make the distance?
2142
01:32:28,202 --> 01:32:30,470
I think he can because
he's a true champion.
2143
01:32:30,470 --> 01:32:32,831
He fires and look at that ball go!
2144
01:32:32,831 --> 01:32:34,842
(speaking drowned out by crowd cheering)
2145
01:32:34,842 --> 01:32:36,696
It's a goal (speaking
drowned out by crowd).
2146
01:32:36,696 --> 01:32:37,529
What a champion!
2147
01:32:37,529 --> 01:32:38,540
Has he fixed up the knockers.
2148
01:32:38,540 --> 01:32:39,736
Thank God I wasn't one.
2149
01:32:39,736 --> 01:32:40,750
- [Announcer] Well he's
earned his money today.
2150
01:32:40,750 --> 01:32:42,210
- [Announcer] I'll say
he's earned his money.
2151
01:32:42,210 --> 01:32:43,850
(announcers speaking over each other)
2152
01:32:43,850 --> 01:32:45,077
- [Announcer] Yeah, he's done a great job
2153
01:32:45,077 --> 01:32:46,538
bringing this team up from
the bottom of the ladder.
2154
01:32:46,538 --> 01:32:49,000
- Laurie's a great coach.
2155
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:50,426
God knows why some
members of the committee
2156
01:32:50,426 --> 01:32:52,065
wanted to get rid of him.
2157
01:32:52,065 --> 01:32:54,815
