History channel time again, and a flashback to AFL Round 3, 2004. After publicly slamming the performance of a particular umpire in the media the previous week, superstar James Hird was under the spotlight from all corners of the football world. But champions know how to respond, and in an astoundingly intense game [...]
Jumping back into the archives for a bit – here’s the famous (and some say controversial) finish to the 1992 Tooheys 1000.
It was a sad day for me – one of my racing heroes, Denny Hulme died on live television before my eyes that day [...]
Although pretty corny (really), here’s another classic snippet I’ve recovered out of my old video collection.
On the Wednesday evening after the 1993 AFL Premiership win, here is captain Mark Thompson becoming the “Mayor of Essendon” for the day.
Also included is some great footage of the boys lining [...]
Over the past couple of months, I’ve been digging through my old video collection, and found this little gem.

Former Hogans Heroes star, Richard Dawson (who played Newkirk), is remembered also as the host of America’s Family Feud. In this particular episode, we find possibly the dumbest family of contestants ever.
The questions are not hard – in fact, [...]
Another one from the archives, with Australian racing legend Larry Perkins winning the 1993 Tooheys 1000, along with the late, Gregg Hansford.
As a Perkins fan, it was a great weekend for me – the #11 Castrol Commodore was the fastest car in almost every practice and qualifying [...]
One from the archives here, Round 14, 2001. Essendon met the Western Bulldogs in an away game at the then Colonial Stadium, now Telstra Dome. More accurately, in the second quarter, the Western Bulldogs met Gary Moorcroft.
I was there that night, unfortunately at the other end of the ground, but was proud to be there [...]
