16th of September.
Love and Kitties.
Prince Philip and I survived Kuala Lumpur, but nothing could have prepared us for this frat.
The joint is really jumping because this is the live and kicking grand final show.
And now it gives me great pleasure to introduce my favourite hard rock band of all time, the Angels.
Take it away, Doc.
The Angels.
Take it away, Doc.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to live and kicking here at the Empire.
It is grand final week. Is it big or what?
It is going to be an absolutely huge one, Dougie. You are getting excited.
Oh, Joe is fantastic. You look like James Dean. Nothing unusual. The Bombers broke down again.
Ladies and gentlemen, Doug Hawkins.
We have got an absolute cracker jack show coming up tonight. It is a huge one.
We will preview the big one, the grand final North Melbourne taking on the Adelaide Crows.
We will look at the line ups, the possible ins and outs and how they will match up.
We have also got a couple of very special guests. The cream of the AFL coming in tonight.
The Brownlow medalist, Robert Harvey. Was that a good decision? Robert Harvey.
We have also got Tanya Zayada and Belinda Emmett, both back due to popular demand.
And of course, four teams fighting for $30,000. Will that be big?
Let's keep things moving, ladies and gentlemen. Please, a warm round of applause for our very special guest announcer, Her Majesty the Queen.
And well, they say that in grand finals the cream rises to the top.
And we have got some evidence that we have pulled out the big guns, the angels and the front man, Doc Neeson.
It is going to be a big one, grand final. I guess you performed at bigger gigs, but it is pretty exciting.
No, I am looking forward to it and the Crows are going to win.
There we have it, an early tip for the Crows. It is going to be a big one. Take it away, Doc.
All right, let's meet the rest of our panel, making his debut on the panel tonight.
He is, well, without doubt, one of the legends of the game. He has recently retired.
He has made his name with Fitzroy and also the Sydney Swans, 356 league games.
He is a champion in every sense of the word, ladies and gentlemen, Mr Paul Rue.
Oh, one of the great chants.
Looking forward to a good evening, Jason.
Nobody got run over by James here on the night.
I thought I was going to have problems with my Vespa.
Let me tell you, if you ever see James driving down the street in one of those, get out of the way.
Well, let's talk to the man now who had trouble even getting through the banner.
He is on one leg. He couldn't ride the Vespa, but he is here with us, the golden boy, James Hurdy.
Hiya, Jaloo.
Yes, sir, Hurdy. Can you tell us?
Well, it is very simple. We drive through, we come around, we park.
Well, we have had trouble with this in rehearsal and the one leg didn't help,
but the clutch, the accelerator, it just didn't come out at the same time.
Popped them on. I think Rue has got a bit of a time mark in the back of his head.
I got up that high, but I think my surgeon would be sitting at home just wondering, what am I doing?
Exactly. You're not good, Jason. Let me tell you, you're not good on that.
It's going to be a huge one. I'll tell you how big the show is, Hawk.
How big? We know it's Grand Final week. Special guests everywhere. Can you believe it?
Even Monica Lewinsky is here. Monica what? Monica Lewinsky is here.
Oh, I'll grab this. Can you believe that?
Monica Lewinsky? Absolutely frightening. Where would she be?
Would she be here somewhere? She's around somewhere.
We've got her around. I guarantee you, she is there somewhere.
Don't worry about it. There she is, Bungie.
Can you see her? There she is, yeah. It looks like she's trimmed down a fair bit, mate.
A fair bit of jogging there down at Port Douglas.
I think she needs to do a little bit of work, Dave.
Alright, let's move on. It is Grand Final week and let's face it, we've all been through it before.
Three of us have been through it before.
Hawk, that's not fair. Sorry, mate, sorry.
I think years are not one Grand Final.
Some good preliminary finals, though, Hawk.
I thought the year you went to Fitzroy, though, Hawk, you might have made it that year.
You're a little bit scared.
We won two games in nine.
Well, let's talk about what does a Grand Final mean.
Well, it means everything, doesn't it? We all play for Grand Final
and we're lucky enough to win a Premiership in 93,
but it was probably only my second year of League footy and I was very nervous.
And really, Roozy, you waited a long time for your first one,
but to come so early was a fantastic thing.
Look, having spent 15 years of league football and not having played in one,
I guess you never realise how big they are until you get there.
And to have the highs and the lows in one day,
which some of the players are going to obviously experience, the losing teams.
What's a week like, Roozy and James? I mean, you've played a course on the ground.
What's it like that whole week leading up to that last day in September?
Look, I think coming down from Sydney, where obviously football is not as big as what it is in Melbourne,
and arriving at the hotel as we did and the people around,
I actually had to go up to my room for an hour just to get away from everyone,
but the parade, it's just a fantastic experience.
There's just probably too many distractions, aren't there?
There's too many things you have to go to.
I think both North Melbourne and Adelaide have gone to some great lengths to cut those distractions out
and it's a great, great move because players are wanted the whole time for interviews and whatever.
And to play your best footy, you really have to just stay out of it
and not, I suppose, go in front of the media hype.
But you cannot physically avoid it.
I mean, they all say, keep your routine the same, do everything that you would normally do,
but let's face it, it's not a normal week.
You've got to go through the parade on the Friday, there's the Brownlow on the Monday,
there's lunches all week, there's everything happening.
It is physically impossible to avoid it all.
You've just got to deal with it the best you can.
What about the grand final motorcade, James? What do you think about that?
Which one, on Friday? On Friday and of course as well, the Labovanna.
The Labovanna Sunday for all the guys who are retiring?
I'll be at the Labovanna, James, and I want to know why you're not going to be there.
I think the public wants to know.
Why aren't you going to do it?
Because the public want to know? Yes!
The public wants to know. We want an answer tonight.
Well, mate, I'll give you an answer.
I actually read with great amusement the article from Mike Sheeham.
Well, if you'd answered your phone when he rang, you know.
Well, it's interesting to know that he was, I guess, trying to work out how I would feel
without speaking to me in writing the article.
I was a little bit disappointed that he actually did that.
Well, how do you feel, James?
I'll tell you why I'm not going in it, and I hope it doesn't offend anyone.
I had the ultimate, the best possible send-off I could have out at Waverley in my last game.
And for me, that was just, that was everything.
It had emotion, it had spirit.
I couldn't possibly top that.
And it was, look, I'm glad I went to the trouble of playing,
even though I probably wasn't fit and shouldn't have played.
I'm glad I did that.
But I get a little bit embarrassed and a little bit uncomfortable in those sort of circumstances.
I think we've got 100,000 people there waiting to see North Melbourne take on the Croves.
And I just, I would feel a little bit uncomfortable sitting in the back of a car doing a lap.
Now, I know the game's been great to me, and I consider myself very fortunate.
Over the 14 years I've been involved.
But I certainly don't think I owe the game.
I think I've given it everything I have.
And I was a little bit disappointed to say or to read that Mike thought,
you know, I owe the game a last appearance or something like that.
I'm happy now just to fade out of the game and take on another role in the other media.
I'm sure there's a lot of people out there that love you to be there, and me included, obviously.
You know, I tossed it up whether to go on the parade or not.
But it's certainly an opportunity for me to actually thank the fans as well,
because they do put a lot into the game.
And for me to have you there would certainly be a big thrill for me.
Oh, that's it. Put a bit of pressure on Mike.
No, I'm serious. Because you are, in all seriousness,
you are one of the best players to ever play the game.
And it would be a big thrill for me to have you in the same motorcade.
Roozy, I agree totally. I agree totally.
CHEERING
I'm just serious, guys.
Jimmy and Roozy, just touching on it, Jase.
I left Footscray, which are now Western Bulldogs, at the end of 94.
I went to Fitzroy for that one season.
There's one thing I do regret in a way was not having that last farewell
to the people of Australian football.
And me personally, I would love to get the opportunity to do that.
But you have your opinion, and I think tonight you explained it beautifully, Jase.
I mean that. You did.
Alright, thank you very much, Douglas.
Time now to head to the Channel 7 studios.
That's where our four finalists will be performing for us.
And in charge of things over there, we've got the lovely Tanya Zayada and Nick Daffy.
CHEERING
We are the luckiest over here, guys.
I know that you've got a really big crowd at the Empire,
but just check out our crowd here at the Channel 7 studios.
CHEERING
And you know what else?
Nick's a little bit upset, I think, that he has to be here working with me
instead of being over there. Oh, yeah, isn't he?
Well, let's face it, the last time we put you together,
there was a little bit of chemistry, wasn't there?
Oh, chemistry.
Chemistry in my foot.
Do you think?
I think so. Do you reckon there's a bit of chemistry there between these two?
Oh, no doubt. Nick's been talking about it all week.
Have a look at this last time, when Tanya first appeared on the show.
I kissed her hand. Yeah, General Petr Russell.
Oh, no. Come on, guys. Have a look at this.
Oh, get here.
And come with this.
It was the first time I met him, so I thought I had to be nice to him.
I had some phone calls from the boys, too.
I had about 40 of them ring me up the next day, seeing what was going on.
Did you say that I was nice?
Yeah, I said you were very nice.
Nothing went on. What are you talking about over there?
Nothing at all. Good on you, Tanya.
We will wait with bated breath to see how those four finalists go a little bit later on.
Can't wait for it. $30,000 up for grabs.
It's going to be huge. Very shortly we'll take a look at the first of those acts.
We'll also look at the goal of the year and the mark of the year.
And I can't believe it. $10,000 going to each of those.
The lazy $10,000, the Cadbury AFL mark of the year and the Isuzu goal of the year.
That should be huge.
It's time for a break now. Before we do go, just to give you a little bit of a reminder,
let's have a look at some of the great marks from 1998.
MUSIC
Oh, my goodness.
Too magnificent today.
It's taken 12 marks.
MUSIC
Winston! That's the old you, girl.
MUSIC
Winston! Oh, big mark for Pudah.
The high-five, that's a wonderful mark.
MUSIC
Thursday Academy Award winner Whoopi Goldberg.
This is going to be hell. With Harvey Keitel.
A quarter of a mil, dead or alive. In the all-singing.
What?
Prey. All-dancing.
Totally outrageous mega-hit Sister Act.
Try to blend in.
She's turning a nunnery inside out.
I had it in second.
And comedy upside down.
Why would anyone kidnap a nun? Were they Catholic?
The comedy sensation with Whoopi Goldberg.
Sister Act, Thursday on Prime.
MUSIC
Isn't that sick?
MUSIC
What is it frigida like?
It is frigida.
It rhymes with Lolita.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Fajita.
This is how you say fajita.
Well, it will be with an old El Paso fajita kid.
MUSIC
Old El Paso fajitas. Hard to say.
Fajitas.
Easy to make.
Fajita.
A woman, two women and one in three men will suffer from osteoporosis.
Bone is very much alive and constantly being renewed.
Exercise, calcium and hormones make strong healthy bones.
As we get older, we tend to lose bone, and this may lead to osteoporosis and fractures.
It's never too early to build bone and it's never too late to treat osteoporosis.
If you think you're at risk, then consult your doctor, who may order a bone density test.
MUSIC
Make me rich, make me hip, just want to dig me.
MUSIC
Well, there you have it. They were the four acts that got those teams into the final,
but can they produce on Grand Final Night? That is the big question.
Now, of course, we had a lovely judging panel that picked the four finalists,
which was, of course, Richard Stubbs, James Reign and Theresa Livingston.
Thank you very much, Dougie.
Now, well, we put the pressure on a new panel of judges to decide who will walk away $30,000.
Richard and our first judge tonight made his name in charge of the Young Talent Time.
Please welcome Mr John Young.
CHEERING
Now, John, in those, I think it was 19 years of Young Talent Time,
my favourite was a boy from Braybrooke who sang,
The Little White Cloud That Cried. Now, Jamie Rynford, where is Jamie these days?
Have you still got any contact with Jamie?
Yes, I have. Jamie is a married bloke, got two fantastic kids,
and he's practising because he'd really like to be a footballer.
LAUGHTER
Good idea, John.
Alright, our second judge tonight, you might remember him as the acid-tongued critic from Pot of Gold.
He can also cook a little bit. Please welcome Mr Bernard King.
CHEERING
Now, Bernard, I know you've seen a lot of talent on Pot of Gold.
What are your expectations tonight?
I think I'll probably be exposed...
LAUGHTER
..to what could be described as raw talent.
I think you're being very, very kind there.
This is a selection committee for the Chippendale boys, is it?
LAUGHTER
Something along those lines. Alright.
I hope so. The Hawthorne boys are very similar to the Chippendale boys.
Our third panellist, well, she's a star from home and away.
She graced our stage a few weeks back, back by popular demand.
Ladies and gentlemen, Belinda Emmerich.
CHEERING
Now, Belinda, I love the show.
I'm so beli...love the show, but Plug has been complaining
because you did have him on the show, didn't you?
That blooper, and you probably won't remember it.
Tony Lockett coming out of his house and the whole roof nearly fell down.
Oh, yeah, I do remember that. Did you get much hate mail from people
when you actually put them on the show or not?
Well, I don't actually get the hate mail.
The powers that be at Channel 7 have to deal with that, unfortunately,
but we haven't got any about that one, so...
Well, he's filthy, I'll tell you. Oh, is he really?
No, I saw him last time I was on the show.
He's a big Home and Away fan.
Let me tell you, Belinda, you don't want to get Plugger angry.
And the fourth member that will make up our panel of judges tonight,
if you're talking music in Australia, you talk about the angel,
he's the front man, Doc Neeson.
CHEERING
Now, Doc, we actually sacked the last judging panel
because they didn't pick Eson,
and Hawk and I have threatened to walk off if Hawthorne win,
so can you promise us that you'll vote for someone besides the Hawks?
I think so. Now, just by the way, Doc...
Are you trying to influence the judges here?
Well, James has been down in the room trying to influence you all day.
I haven't spoken to them, but if you're going to influence them, James,
the least you can do is get some hard earned out, couldn't you?
Well, didn't you offer him five grand?
You're not going to do it for a smile. He will.
Hey, Doc, by the way, any relation to Gerard,
the ex-coach of the three-man on doffles?
LAUGHTER
You are a learned... You keep sex out of this, all right?
Don't even acknowledge that question with an answer.
All right, it is time now to listen to our very first act
and the first cab off the rank.
Well, let's go back to Tanya Zayda and Nick Daffy to find out who we've got.
Well, James, we're all vibed up over here.
The crowd is just waiting.
Nick and I have been watching them all afternoon, rehearsed.
We are in for the biggest treat tonight.
There's some dress-ups, there's some dancing, singing.
We've got it all. So, Nick, who have we got up first?
We've got Colin the First. They come from the Wiggles,
and now they're into Riverdance, a totally different audience altogether.
So, welcome Richard Osmond, Maddie Francis, Scott Crowe,
Stuart Mengen, Josh Manney and Stephen Patterson.
Take it away, boys! Yes!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
MUSIC PLAYS
MUSIC CONTINUES
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Well, there you have it.
The lords of the dance, the boys from Collingwood.
Let's see if we can have a chat with Ozzy. Can you hear us, Ozzy?
Yeah, Jay's high, mate. I'm pretty good, mate.
Now, obviously, you've been putting a lot of work into that.
You realise it's actually a musical performance, not a Red Faces performance?
LAUGHTER
We did a song and dance number last time, so we thought we'd show the audience
our repertoire that we can dance as well without singing.
So, something a little different, Jay.
And obviously singing's not in the repertoire, I doubt it.
No, not the most. I was just going to ask, Ozzy,
Ozzy, were you meant to be three seconds behind the rest of the group
or was that just something you decided to do?
Well, I'll tell you what, Ozzy, stand by it
and we'll find out what the judges thought of that performance.
Let's head over to our panel of experts.
What did you make of the Collingwood River Dance?
It's interesting.
Yes, very colourful performance.
I'm glad that we're in a challenging approach to do that.
Help me with one technical detail.
I'm not too familiar with football.
I frankly wouldn't cross the street to watch it.
I like Sondheim and the ballet.
A woman last month asked me what did I think about violence in the stands.
I said, we don't have that bother with the ballet, darling.
But those young girls in the team as well...
I was wondering that myself.
Now I know why they play.
They actually play for Collingwood, those girls.
Oh, really?
Oh, that's great.
That's great.
Alright, we will find out exactly what they...
Is that a stand for the boys?
Yes, it is.
Why aren't they wearing clogs like every good Irishman does?
I've just seen Flatley in Las Vegas and it's clatter, clatter, clatter.
Only the girls did the clatter.
The boys chickened out on the clatter, clatter, clatter.
OK, we'll go and put a mupple on Bernard.
Bernard, thank you.
Never say...
OK.
What a goal.
We'll find out exactly how they scored at the end of the show...
when the four scores are revealed.
Thank you very much.
Alright, let's go to a more serious note.
It is time now for the Cadbury's AFL Mark of the Year.
Let's look at the six contenders.
The first one, of course, is Scott Welsh from North Melbourne.
And isn't this a beauty?
That's a great mark.
What about playing the man in front?
It's a great loop, very athletic.
Play the man in front.
And I think that is a Cadbury's AFL mark.
Our second one, Mark Miranda from Richmond,
running the wrong way into the forward line.
Huge mark, this one, Bungie.
Going the other way.
Good groin problems after that mark.
I think Jason, he hurt himself.
Just went straight up.
Our third mark, and Wayne Carey still says that he passed it.
This is Winston Abraham from North Melbourne.
Not a bad mark.
Oh!
That's a beauty.
Here we have Anthony Cudafiti from Carlton.
This isn't a bad little grab either.
Over the top of the Bombers.
Very lucky.
Now, I particularly like this one.
Brian Montgomery from the Western Bulldogs,
again against the Bombers.
Very hard catch by the way.
Have a look at it, front on.
He just goes straight up.
That is a blessing, Mark.
Very classic.
From Melbourne.
Average mark, this one.
Oh!
The best thing about that, Jason,
is that he actually jumps off Gary Lyon.
He jumps twice, which is a very hard thing to do.
Gary Lyon's got a habit of being a bit of a stepladder, hasn't he?
He's dropping the boys up at the moment, isn't he?
Very good.
That's a great mark.
We've got the contenders in here with us tonight,
and the winner has actually been picked by the All-Australian Selectors.
They've put their heads together.
And without any further ado,
this is the one...
No, we don't get a say.
Come on, the winner is...
Winston Abraham from North Melbourne.
What a beauty it is, too.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Now, Jason, do you think Winston will share any of his Cadbury chocolate
or is it with Wayne Kerry?
I mean, Wayne Kerry did kick it to him.
We'll have to wait and see.
So, Winston Abraham, let's cross out now to Moonee Ponds.
We're chatting with Winston.
How are you going, Winston?
Yeah, not too bad, Jase. How are you?
You must be a little bit happy now with a lazy 10 grand jumping into the pocket.
Yeah, it helps out a bit.
And would you like to introduce us to the lovely lady?
Yeah, it's your girlfriend, Diana.
Yeah, you seem pretty stoked, mate. Fantastic.
Now, listen, Winston, we have a rule down in Hawthorne.
Obviously, we're doing it wrong.
The little bloke stays down and crumbs while the big blokes fly.
What happened, mate?
Well, I was actually going for the drop of the ball and...
Oh, sure you were.
And, uh... You just misjudged it.
Wayne was going... actually kicking for goal,
so, I mean, the ball actually came back towards me,
so I thought we'll just jump for it.
Now, Winston, did you ever imagine that you may ever come down
or just get stuck up there in the clouds, mate?
You were up a mile.
Yeah, it was a good feeling
and it was just good enough to hang on to it, so...
Now, getting up to this...
All right, we're just having a look at it once more
and it's just a beauty.
He's jumping from about five yards away
and still lands on top of the pack.
Winston, are you sure Wayne's going for goal, then?
Yeah, he was, actually. He was.
Tell me at what stage here you're actually crumming the ball there.
Now, what about this weekend's game?
Obviously, it's a huge game for you.
Well, hang on, Roozy, before we get into that,
I think we've got Peter Beals, the marketing manager from Cadbury's,
on hand to present Winston with a trophy
and a cheque to the value of $10,000.
Here he is.
There he is. Just hide behind the wall.
He's in the kitchen.
APPLAUSE
On behalf of Cadbury, we'd like to present Winston
with this trophy
for winning the inaugural Cadbury AFL Mark of the Year.
I'll pass this down to you, Winston.
Thanks.
Along with that magnificent trophy, of course, goes
just this little cheque we have here
for $10,000.
I'm going to be interested for you to get this one
for the bank of our wishes.
APPLAUSE
And you can have some of that too.
But more importantly,
there's also 10,000
grams of Cadbury
Dairy Milk Chocolate to go with it.
That's quite his favourite.
What an absolute beauty, and you'd be amazed, we actually...
Winston didn't even know Peter was going to be there.
We hid him in the kitchen and he popped out late
and surprised him.
Maybe I should put a couple of Winston's TVs or something in his car
while he was out. But look, a lot of chocolate.
I don't think you will.
Alright, Roozy, let's move things on to the grand final.
You're going to ask Winston about the big one.
I'm going to ask Winston about the grand final, which is on this Saturday.
The difference in the style of play,
I guess you've come across from
Fremantle to North Melbourne,
you've obviously fit in very well. How's the difference in style of play
helped your game?
It has helped my game a lot, because
being a small forward,
it was sort of difficult
to play
at Fremantle,
because there weren't too many
big forwards like Wayne around
who could take grabs
and use the ball like he does.
It helps me out a lot.
Now, Winston, you've won the
Cadbury AFL mark. Is that the best mark
you've ever taken in any formal competition
or have you taken a few better ones in junior
footy, maybe?
I'd have to say in under-15s,
I've taken a better one than that.
If you don't mind.
Now, just one more, Winston.
You've got your first year, of course, with the Kangaroos
crossing from the Dockers. Did you ever imagine
that you'd be playing in a grand final, mate?
How do you feel at this stage?
Actually, you're making me feel a bit nervous now.
Just talking about it.
So, yeah,
I haven't really thought about it.
I mean, I've thought about it, but
it's just
the week so far has been huge.
So, I mean,
I think you've just got to try and keep a lid on it.
Thanks very much, Winston. Congratulations
on Mark of the Year and thank you to the lovely
De'Arne for joining us. Winston Abraham,
1998 Tadbury's AFL
Mark of the Year.
All right, it's time to take a break.
When we return, we'll preview the big one,
the 1998 grand final, how they'll
line up and how they'll match up. That's next
on Live and Kicking.
Saturday is the magic day as AFL grand final fever comes to prime. We'll take you live to the MCG for every heart-stopping moment to see who'll be the Premiership team for 1998. It's all live and exclusive to Prime Sport.
I'm in love with my car.
I can feel from my heart and my spirit. I'm in love with my car.
Catch Rodney Ruud live.
What do you mean, a good comedy
subject to start off with tonight?
He's on tour and coming to a venue
near you. You know why the Greek blokes
wear the thick gold chain around the neck?
That's so they know where to stop shaving.
Catch Rodney Ruud live at these venues. Tickets on sale now. Don't miss out. Look early.
I'll be back to see him again and again and again because it was just great. Loved it.

Very emotional times indeed for John Longmire and it seems that there's no sentiment in footy.
The greatest heartbreak a footballer can go through is missing out on a premiership.
Unfortunately for John Longmire, he missed out through injury in 1996 and it seems like, well, he might miss again.
Well, sides haven't been picked obviously, but I think everyone is talking the way John Longmire is out.
And I think we've all been in situations, had teammates who have missed out. I mean, at our date it was Derek Kickett.
Derek Kickett missed out and was very upset and hasn't really been back to the club and hasn't talked to Kevin Schede since.
But I was just talking to Ruzzi before, it's the worst thing ever I think to miss a premiership.
And you play with your mates and I think they all bleed for you when you miss.
Well, it's really a case of, I guess, sentiment versus strategy.
What influence would, if you actually played him, would you reckon that it would lift the players?
I mean, I think with four on the interchange, which there is now, I mean, a lot of times you'll go through a game
and maybe a guy will only get ten minutes. I think a guy like Longmire has so much to offer.
It's very difficult for us to sit in and, I guess, select the side.
But I would think it would be a huge emotional boost for the guys going into the game to see a John Longmire get picked.
I think it would be early, but would that emotion last throughout the game?
I think emotion lasts sort of at half a quarter. I find emotion lasts about half a quarter.
And early on you might get the advantage with that emotion. But in the long run you've got to pick your best 22 players.
I reckon, boys, let's ask the crowd, what do you think about John Longmire? Should he play in the grand final this year or not?
Well, it would certainly be great news for John Longmire if he did.
I somehow doubt it unfortunately and commiserations to John Longmire.
But enough of who won't play. Let's have a look at who is going to play in the 1998 AFL grand final.
Dougie, take us through the North line-up.
Well, here they go, Jase. Here's the North Melbourne line-up.
There is talk around town maybe that Brett Chandler, the ex-Fitz Roy boy, of course, may come in the side.
The player who was talked about maybe going was young Glenn Fribourn.
But if you think back to 96, Glenn Fribourn was fantastic.
Here's the line-up here. Here's the sides.
North's back line is very, very important, particularly with Mick Martin down there.
Very reliable, rock solid.
And they get plenty of running drive, particularly from Byron Pickett and David King as well on the half back line.
Up forward, of course, is that man Wayne Kerry.
But not only Wayne Kerry, there's some great goal-kick and power as well.
Glenn Arch on a half-forward flank can go back and can go forward as well.
But Shannon Grant, of course, Mark Roberts, Craig Scholl and, of course, Brett Allison has the ability to kick a lot of goals to the North Melbourne side as well.
But I believe the keeper of the Kangaroos is no doubt.
I won't say the return of form of Corey McKernan.
Last week he was sensational and I believe he's been great over the last five weeks without really setting the world on fire.
But last week, Corey put the hand up and he was absolutely sensational.
And, Hawk, Peter Bell. Peter Bell has, I think he's had two games over 30 possessions his last two games.
I don't know if he's been instrumental in getting the ball down to Kerry.
You see, he has been fantastic as well.
Anthony Stevens, I didn't mention Anthony Stevens, can go on a half-back line and give plenty of drive as well and a very important play up in their midfield.
But the North Melbourne side, I think, Jase, no changes.
All right, that's how, well, of course, the official team's come out tomorrow night.
That's how we believe they'll line up in an unchanged fashion.
Now, James Heard to run through the Adelaide Crows.
Well, Jase and I have gone with Hawk. I've gone for an unchanged Adelaide side.
I thought, well, Jamison might come into the side, but the news is out of Adelaide that he won't.
So I've gone with the same side.
You see there Goodwin at full-back, I think.
Well, if Scholl goes to full-forward, I think they need a smaller type of player and Goodwin will probably move up as Scholl moves out of that area to create that Pagan's paddock.
Caveman, obviously the obvious choice on Kerry.
A strange one there with Jarman in the centre, but they need plenty of drive out of the middle.
I think the Cows to win, they need to keep it out of North Melbourne scoring territory.
And Jarman getting the ball down at such a creative player is definitely an advantage.
Robben with such a great game.
And really I think their midfield has to dominate for them to win the game.
Roshuto, Bickley, they have to get on top of guys like Bell and stop the influence of Lately, who over the last two weeks has tagged sensationally when he's gone on the close.
And James, there was talk during the week out of Adelaide that Ben Marsh might come in.
I think Malcolm Blight's a little bit worried about the height of the North Melbourne key players, in particular their ability like Robertson and McKernan to push forward.
That's right. But you very rarely see a side get beaten because the other side's too tall.
I think the game has moved to that running element.
And I think maybe that the game has moved to such a position that you're probably a bit off going with a versatile type player.
I know if Kerry does dominate there might be troubles about who you're playing.
But really you've got to go with the players you've got and hope you get enough drive that he doesn't get enough ball.
Because if he gets the ball, he's just going to keep it.
Yep.
Alright, looks like we may have a couple of unchanged line-ups.
Let's take a look at some of the key match-ups.
And the first one, well this will be a huge one, pivotal to the match, Wayne Kerry and Peter Cavan, who did such a fantastic job on Chris Grant last week.
Look Peter Cavan's instrumental in the way they play. It allows Nigel Smart to play that floating roll across half-back.
Yep.
So I think even if Cavan's getting beaten they do tend to leave him there because it allows Hart and Smart to run off.
But if I was Peter Cavan, we were talking about with James before, you've really got to try and push Kerry up the ground.
If he's going to take 14 or 15 marks you'd rather him take him around the wing rather than 40 or 50.
You're playing front and lose you're behind him. You get yourself in front. You've played on Wayne before. You're playing front or behind him.
Well he beat me when I played in front and beat me when I played in front.
That's not the way you're doing it.
But I would honestly believe you're playing from behind because you've got to push him up the ground.
He loves it when he is behind running in towards an open goal and he also loves it when he gets you on his shoulder and nudges you out and takes those marks.
He's going to get the ball anyway. Let's let him get it where he's not going to be as effective.
Let's look at another one of the key match-ups in the same position at the other end of the ground.
Jason McCartney taking on Matty Robber and of course who kicked six goals last week and he was fantastic for them.
He jumped out of the box didn't he? I think he sort of had a disappointing final series last year but against Footscray or Weston Bullards he was sensational.
I mean the amount of goals he kicked was great and it gives them a target now and the confidence going into that game.
If he does that again obviously, well I think they're going to win.
What do you think? Sorry John.
Added incentive for Jason McCartney of course who's a former crow.
A former Adelaide boy. He really pumped up winning I mean he was that thing to do well.
And as you said James Robber last week was sensational. Six of his goals, five outside 50. He was brilliant.
And another one of the winners for Adelaide last week. Well he probably won the game from I think Andrew McLeod.
He's just been a revelation for them. Who's going to get the job on him Dougie? Could it be Robert Scott?
Well I think Robert Scott and I say that and I think Robert Scott will play in the midfield on Andrew McLeod if he does go up in the midfield.
And we saw last week particularly when he did go inside 50 on Tony Libertore.
The thing about Andrew McLeod is he plays like a six foot twoer. He's got those long arms and very very rarely is he knocked off balance.
He's very very good at ground level and I think Robert Scott inside 50 would be the man first of all to have a crack at him.
McLeod, yeah McLeod, his balance is just sensational isn't it?
Scott did well on farm last week and similar type although farm is a little bit but he's very good overhead as well.
Certainly is. Certainly is. That'll be one of the crucial battles.
And what about the big man Corey McKernan taking on Sean Wren?
The two of them have been in excellent form with Corey returning to form last week and well this is where it all starts in the middle.
Yeah it is and I think Wren and McKernan will do battle in the ruck but once McKernan goes forward I wouldn't be surprised to see Pittman going on and trailing him down the forward line.
Because I think if he does go down to the forward line and Wren stays on him he'll probably defeat him there but Wren can obviously exploit him the other way.
How do you see it Jase? Do you think it's a very important contest these two big men in the ruck? A big start in the game?
Oh without a doubt. I mean if Wren plays well Adelaide play well. It's that simple.
Do you think with Wren playing as a ruckman which he normally plays behind the play he'll try and block Kerry's space and I agree with you.
I think they'll actually try and put someone else on Corey McKernan because Corey runs forward and then I think Pagan will have to decide exactly what he does with Wren.
Certainly shall. Well there's some of the key match ups for the weekend. That's how they'll possibly line up.
We're going to use our interchange bench so please thank Paul Rooze for joining us tonight.
Thank you very much. It's a pleasure.
And it's time for us to take a break. When we come back we'll chat to the Brownlow medalist Robert Harvey.
But well just talking about Adelaide if you've ever wondered why they had a bit of trouble travelling when they first came into the competition it's not because of the plane flights.
We've tracked the trouble down to the bus trips. Have a look at this.
Bloody Victorian buses.
50 years ago he disappeared now half a century later.
You're the guy that they're looking for. That's a big secret about a man who's been dead for 50 years.
He's still the same age still the same person. It's got to be him. But there's more than one thing about him.
How did you do that? That's very very different.
The difference.

Welcome back to the final of the Quad Sculls. And what a great final it's been so far as we come to the closing stages. It's a two team race.
Certainly is John. Now Sweden, they've led right from the start. They have but here come the US again. Can they pick them off?
Look at the strain as these two fight for gold. Don't look now John but here come the Australians.
Good day. How you going? Lovely day boys. Because they put their super with Australia's largest superannuation manager.
Daly's and the Stevens are just a few of our customers who will be scoring gold. See you later fellas. When they retire.

It's my pleasure ladies and gentlemen to announce that the 1998 Brownlow Medal winner is Robert Harvey from St Kilda.
Well it certainly was a fantastic night on Monday night. The Brownlow Medal.
And well what a wonderful time for St Kilda's Robert Harvey. The first man to win back to back since Keith Gregg back in the mid 70s.
And a man that polled particularly well on Brownlow night. He joins us now on the panel ladies and gentlemen Todd Viney.
Now Todd Brownlow night you flew out of the blocks. Four best on's in the first six weeks. 12 votes after six rounds.
Did you give yourself any chance? Well I really before the night started I was thinking maybe I'd like to get ten.
Then I just flew out of the box and I did look over at Harves and he did have a worried look on his face.
But no I didn't, I certainly didn't expect to have that many at the start. And it wasn't until Jimmy Stines came over and said you could do a right.
And how'd you go in the last part of the year? I thought yeah I did a right in the latter part of the year.
But not too many came through in the latter part of the year but I was very happy with 20.
20 votes is a great effort and I think it has won it before. Oh many times.
Or less than 20 won it before and it was just such a high number of people above 20 weren't they. Very interesting.
I don't think it was spread out amongst as many players. I know perhaps with our midfield Rogoni and Wode and some of these guys are only young fellas and perhaps not quite as well known.
So they gave me the credit. Todd who else do you think from Melbourne may have polled well?
I thought Adam Uze had a super year and a half back flank. Did not get a vote. Anyone you thought may have polled very well with the Demons?
Well I thought Lee and Shelley and Rogoni and those guys would have polled a little bit better.
And Adam Uze especially didn't get a vote and Anthony and the backman don't tend to get many votes and they had tremendous years the backman.
Alright well let's bring out the man that polled best of all. He polled 32 votes. He's the 1998 Brownlow medallist, Robert Harveys.
Well Harveys you must be absolutely thrilled. I mean did you ever at any stage dream that you could polled 32 votes?
No last year I felt fairly lucky to have won it last year and certainly the way some of the boys are polling this year I didn't think I had it in me this year.
But probably got, especially in the later half of the year I think I got a few votes there that probably Spider should have got.
How did you compare your two years last year as opposed to this year?
I think probably this year was slightly more consistent but less outstanding than last year as an outstanding game.
So I didn't think I'd get as many votes as I got last year for that reason but the umpire certainly saw a different.
Now Rob is it true that your dad backed you for the Brownlow medal at 33 to 1 in both years?
He did actually yeah so he's done fairly well.
And one more Rob you look very glassy eyed may I say. Have you been to the sack yet? Have you had any sleep? I mean can you just tell us how many hours you had in the last two days?
I didn't have any Monday night but I got a few in last night but I've still got a lot more to go.
Harveys obviously the Brownlow is for the best and fairest and we all know you as a great player with great skills, great endurance and speed.
But you've also added another string to your bow this year and that's a bit of sledging.
When we played you guys in the finals I was going pretty average I must admit and you really got stuck into me.
You said Vines you're not going too good? Is that another part of your game that you worked on this year?
Well not really. Yeah we were going a ride early so I was probably a bit cocky and then after half time you did hear a peep out of me.
Well I'll tell you what another big part of Brownlow night it certainly is the real fashion stakes of Melbourne.
It's all about who do you take and what do they look like and what are they wearing.
Here is some of the glitz and glamour from Brownlow night. There's Gaz Wife.
Very lovely ladies on the arms of various AFL stars there all posing for the cameras.
Some very familiar faces of course Nathan Buckley and Shelley Ware.
Is that Paul Williams' fiance? Have a look at this. Have a look at this.
Andrew Stanton hasn't he come a long way? He's come from working in a sports store at Benalla to walk into the Brownlow with a lovely on his arm.
Where did you meet that girl? Andrew, where did you meet that lovely? Logies? Was it last year?
Yeah it was the Logies last year so she's a fair sort of beauty.
Jason I don't know whether you saw this girl but she was actually in my arm all night, my wife, me and I thought she was the best looking girl all night.
You're a real kidney aren't you?
Alright well it certainly was a fantastic night for St Kilda's Robert Harvey but I think I guess the wind is somewhat soured by the news of Stan Elves.
That must have been a bit of a shock to the players.
Yeah well I've been involved at the club now for a number of years and have seen a few coaches go and it's always unsettling to when you first hear the news.
But from a players point of view and I've spoken to a few players since Monday and I mean we've got to take a fair bit of responsibility for what we did this year especially later in the year.
And next year is just so important for us to really put our best foot forward and make it a success for you.
Rob you must sorry Jimmy go on mate.
Do you see it as a disappointment that he's gone or is it now time for a fresh start?
I mean have you got time to start again and hopefully a new coach will as you've said I think St Kilda players have said during the week time to take you that next step.
I think we can't do anything but look forward now and no matter how you look at it we've just got to make every post a winner.
I mean we haven't really succeeded unless we've won a flag and a number of our players are starting to get older so we certainly need a flag pretty soon.
Rob first of all I mean last year you got standing house got into a grand final as a coach of the all Australian team of the year.
This year of course made the finals you must have been personally yourself surprised he was gone.
Oh look it's always a shock when you first hear it but as I said we're going from here and the players certainly got a big job to do after their poor showing in the second half of the season and the big responsibility lies with them.
Well Robert there was talk of some player unrest were you asked about your thoughts on the coaching position there?
Oh look the whole season is reviewed by everyone involved and that's the normal process at the end of any year and I mean there's some player involvement but I mean that had happened at every club and as I said we're just looking forward to next year.
Go on holiday mate.
Please thank you for joining us for 1998 and Joel Brownlow medalist with Robert Harvey.
Alright it is time now to head back to the Channel 7 studios to Tanya Zayada and Nick Daffy for the second of our finalists and who have we got this time Tanya?
Well just before we get on with the second one Jase doesn't Richard Osborne make a very impressive Michael Flatley?
Really?
What do you think over there? Did your crowd love it?
Yeah they had a really good laugh Tanya.
They loved it.
They were good either.
Actually Nick was just saying that he hasn't seen Colin would be so quick on their feet in a long time.
I didn't say anything.
Twinkle toes not Colin but Twinkle Toes.
Twinkle Toes moving right along though guys we've got Port Adelaide coming up now and they're doing a medley of Madonna's holiday and then mixing it in with I Love The Nightlife.
That's right and starting them off is the very shy Adam Huskus, Nick Seasons, Bowen Lockwood, Donald Dickey and Brendan Lay.
Let's shake those G-strings boys.
Go guys.
Oh I love you.
Oh you're gorgeous.
Do I turn you on baby? Do I?
Do I make you horny? Do I make you horny?
Who's your daddy?
Holiday, celebrate, holiday, celebrate.
If we took a holiday, took some time to celebrate and put them out of life, it would be, it would be so nice.
Everybody spread the word, we're gonna have a celebration all across the world in every nation.
Holiday, celebrate, holiday, celebrate.
Oh oh oh oh.
I love the nightlife, I got some boogie on the disco.
Oh yeah.
Oh I love the nightlife, I got some boogie on the disco.
Oh yeah.
Please don't talk about love tonight and please don't talk about sweet love.
Please don't talk about being true and all the trouble that we've been through.
Please don't talk about all the plans we had for fixing this broken romance.
I want to go with these boys dance.
I want some action.
I want to live action.
I've so much to give.
I want to give some.
I want to give some to.
I love the nightlife, I got some boogie on the disco.
Oh yeah.
Oh I love the nightlife, I got some boogie on the disco.
Oh yeah.
Oh I love the nightlife, I got some boogie on the disco.
Oh yeah.
Oh I love the nightlife, I got some boogie on the disco.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, Chuck and Justin, rock out of the way.
Please go.
Yeah.
Well you certainly cannot say that Port Power did not have a crack at it.
Let's go back and talk to the mad man himself, Adam Huskus.
Adam, it's a shock seeing you in women's clothes again mate.
These boys do it to me all the time, I just can't help it.
They make me want to dress up and turn them on.
So Adam, I notice on both songs you've done there's been a fair bit of skin showing.
You obviously pick out the uniforms, don't you?
Yeah, I actually do it all myself, just pick out the uniforms.
But these boys are the brains behind the truss because I've got nothing up 12.
Adam, you're a pretty shy sort of bloke, I mean do you get home and do this by yourself or is this only for the cameras?
It's actually the way my folks drag me up.
But living in Sydney for a year and prancing up and down Oxford Street didn't help either.
Alright Adam, we'll leave you there.
Congratulations to the Port Power boys.
Let's head over to the judges and Belinda, what did you make out of that?
Those footy boys are a real warrior, aren't they?
Adam was just enjoying that a little bit too much I think and he pretty much carried it to the Carmen, the Madonna thing.
The other boys didn't seem to do a hell of a lot, he was the air.
But you know the Peter Allen thing happening in the background, I was there, I was happening.
Oh come on, they were doing this.
Don't start it again please.
Okay, we'll find out a bit later on exactly how they went.
It's time for a break, when we come back we'll find out who has won the $10,000 for the Isuzu Goal of the Year.
But just in case you've forgotten, here's some of the best from 1998.
Music
Woe Woden with a turn of speed through some pretty heavy traffic, a couple of bounces, fancies himself on, lovely ball.
Oh look at that, that's what he's got.
Still Woe Woden, still Woe Woden, Woe Woden from Half World, he's got some, oh great footy.
Olympic, Olympic.
No stop, well done Spider, the big Spider, so high he's tried to bounce, but he's come off, but he crashes through the tackle, and in goes the end, and in, way over the line, by Peter Edwards.
He keeps running, the wizard, he's got it. Back to Garley, Jones, hips in, beautiful intercept, deserves his goal, and he's got it.
He's going to take them on, rubs to 50, great play, this could go through the bounces, it's a goal, successful play.
He's in the race for the ball, but he needs assistance, he gets it from the left foot of Duke, he lets go with a talk, a fight for a goal.
Well done Ed Abraham, really great done, fantastic football, through to the centre, oh pretty kicker goal, could this left foot go through, it does, unbelievable.
Music
Take the world's best secret agent, double the danger, double the thrills, and multiply the adventure by seven.
For the first time on network television, three, two, one, Piers Brosnan is, Bond, James Bond, flying presents the premiere of GoldenEye Sunday.
Welcome back to the final of the Quad Sculls, and what a great final it's been so far as we come to the closing stages, it's a two team race.
Certainly is John, now Sweden, they've leapt right from the start, they have, but here come the US again, can they pick them off?
Look at the strain as these two fight for goal, don't look now John, but here come the Australians.
Good day, how you going?
Lovely day boys.
Because they put their super with Australia's largest superannuation manager, Daly's and the Stevens, or just a few of our customers, will be scoring gold.
See you later fellas.
When they retire.

Welcome back to Live and Kicking here at the Empire. Of course we mentioned her early. We are very privileged to have as guest announcer, Her Royal Highness, the Queen. And we might take a moment to catch up with her right now. I believe a fellow world leader of yours, Bill Clinton, is in trouble. What do you make of that?
Well, I thought I was coming here to give video evidence about my sex life. But let me say I have never had an inappropriate relationship with Margaret Thatcher.
Although she once did give me a cigar.
Okay, we might leave that. Your Majesty, what are you doing in Australia?
Well, I've come to declare Canberra shut. And secondly to see if it is true that Mr James Hurd is handsome. And he looks just like my son Charles. His ears stick out.
Now, Your Royal Highness, you've just been in in Kuala Lumpur closing the Commonwealth Games. How did that go?
Well, the Commonwealth Games aren't the same, Jason, since your dad got the sack, Arthur Dunstall.
But I did see Eddie McGuire from the other station, Charles from the other station. And he is a Republican.
And he was at the Commonwealth Games. So I suppose he will go anywhere for a free feed.
Ladies and gentlemen, Her Majesty the Queen.
Alright, it is now time to decide the Isuzu Trucks' Goal of the Year. And let's have a look at the main contenders.
Jason, it's a rib snorter. It is a rib snorter.
And no one gets near him, Hull. He's picked it up just outside 50. And I don't think anyone...
A real important time of the game too. That's better than Mickey McGuands.
That's better than Mickey McGuands, that goal by the young Shalawa.
He's got it as well. Now here's a real opportunist goal from Andrew Wills of the Frio Dockers. Have a look at this.
He does a lot, doesn't he, Jason? That is unbelievable. And Jason is probably the best celebrator of goals in the competition.
Doesn't he enjoy it? He loves it. So does Sherrod Neeson. He loves it.
Now here's a big man. This is a beauty. He smothers the ball in the middle of the ground. Peter Everett. He follows it up.
Every skill of the great game is shown here. Except he gets a little bit ambitious having a bounce.
He just wanted to do the blind turn, I think. Throw it on the ground.
And then for 50. Have a look at that. Not bad for a big fella.
Now one of the few highlights for the year from the Brisbane Lions, Justin Leppich working out the angles nicely.
Intelligent goal, Jason. It was a greasy night that night and the ball doesn't often kick as much as it should.
And here's a beauty from Jeff Farmer. Against us, unfortunately, picking it up at half back. He gives it to Anthony McDonald, gets it back.
Another short pass to Gary Lyon. You would have given up by now, wouldn't you? I would have had a fit by now.
The handball's a little bit behind him. He gets it back. He has a bounce with two blokes on his tail.
And then has the temerity to kick a torp on the run from 50.
That's a nice goal. Fantastic goal. Love it.
Sensational goal. And the man that won Mark of the Year, well, he could win the double.
He receives a handball here from John Longmire. Winston Abraham dodges a couple. It all looks too easy.
Has a bounce, a bork, onto the left foot from 45. That is fantastic.
The opposite side of the body. He'll be the first to go, Jake. If he wins the boat, I think he'll be the first one since Peter Basusto, who won it with Carlton back in the mid-70s.
What about Mitchell from Richmond? Did he do it one year? Michael Mitchell? He may have taken a couple of grabs. He might be the second one.
Well, I think we're keeping the contenders in suspense. We don't need to do that any further.
We can proudly announce that the Isuzu Trucks $10,000 AFL Goal of the Year goes to...
Jeff Farmer from Melbourne.
Come on down, Jeff.
Now let's have a look at this fantastic goal from another angle.
This is just absolute wizardry at its best.
He's known as a wizard too, Jason. He had that plan right from the first kick, I reckon.
He put two blokes on his hammer. He bounced it. On a wet day, he had a bounce.
He kicked a two.
Totally unbelievable.
Now, Jeff, we need to know at what stage of that passage of play did you think this could be a goal?
Probably when there wasn't any four forward to kick to. I ended up having a bang away.
Did you know the boys behind you, the Hawthorn boys, were chasing you?
You were a bit cheeky. He had a bounce.
He was right in front of them.
He had a bounce. They were not going to grab you and you had a bounce.
They sort of were gaining ground towards you.
You still had a bounce.
What about your special relationship with Gary Lyon?
We all know and probably heard about that you're pretty close.
You take newly Mark of the Year on Gary Lyon and he actually gives you a handball on the half-forward line.
You must have a very close relationship for him to handball to you. What's the story there?
As you know, we're very good mates. At one stage I thought he wasn't going to give the hand pass, but he's good enough to give it.
Very unusual.
I hope. No comment. I'm in the four-bundes.
It feels like you've cheated on one of your teammates, Shane Woe Wadden, who was a bit stiff.
I mean, your goal has been voted, but he kicked a very good goal as well, didn't he?
There was a couple of goals that were more or less the same, like running from the back line and then kicking.
I got to share a car with Shane, so it was a good effort.
If Shane's actually here, we might have a quick chat to him. Ladies and gentlemen, Shane Woe Wadden.
Now, Shane, no thoughts of saying to Jeff before the winner was announced that, hey, whoever wins it, let's go, Harves.
Oh, no, not really. No, Jeff, well undeserved. Once I kicked mine, then a couple of weeks later Jeff's kicked his and I knew it'd hit me, actually.
And the skip has been pretty adamant when we were talking earlier that it'll be going into the players' fund, so you haven't really lost anything, mate.
In actual fact, you've gained.
Players' group, man.
Have you told Jeff that yet?
Yeah, well, you set that rule at the start of the year.
Shane, you've got a stress-fractionary foot and you've just had an operation.
You've played the last, what, 12, 14 rounds with that in your foot.
I mean, you must have thought at some stage it was worth giving up.
You're probably right there in a way that if I had had the CAT scan at that time of the year I would have missed three months of 40 and probably finals, but decided to keep going with it and just see if it didn't get any worse and it didn't and had the operation yesterday.
Oh, well.
You're so stiff, Shane. Harvey, can we give him 10,000 as well, this young fellow? Can we do that?
Out of your pocket.
Yeah, well.
He was unlucky. It was a brilliant goal.
Let's just give 10,000 to everyone, mate. You wouldn't have to pay attention.
Congratulations to Jeff Farmer for the gold year and, of course, we have Barry Fisher here from Isuzu Trucks. Good on you, Barry.
Just a lazy 10 for the players' fund for Melbourne. Fantastic. A little bit stiff not to get the double, mate. I thought the mark was fantastic, but Todd voted against you in the long run.
All right, well, the good judges have picked our mark and goal of the year, but the grand final is a different kettle of fish, so we thought we'd get it straight from the expert's mouth. Here's an expert panel of judges to talk about the grand final, and they're all led by Mike Sheehan.
Thank you, Jason. Thank you all. Joining me is Carlton coach David Parker.
And former Hawthorne American, Dermot Bruton.
And, of course, we've got the smelly old fisherman, Rex Hunt.
Ah, yibbidi yibbidi. Thank you very much.
Of course, it's been an interesting season. Dermot Bruton, how have you seen it?
I think, Mike, that you've spent far too long bagging some of our great players. In fact, I was saying to Edward the other day on Triple M that you've bagged Kudafides, you've bagged Daniel Harford, and you gave Ozzie Jones a pretty decent old touch-up.
Yeah, but I'll have you know, Dervot, that those blokes were struggling at that time, and after I wrote my hard-hitting column in their health zone, I advanced their careers, I turned their careers around, and they've become very good footballers.
That's funny. When I bagged James Hurd in my column, he went on to be crap for the rest of the season.
I thought Kudacopter raw deal, kid. I mean, I believe that Anthony Kudafides plays his best football as a midfielder running forward.
Now, I think we're about to actually transform Anthony into a bona fide defender in the back half, whose preparatory work has just been terrific week in, week out, and not to mention, I think, he's an absolutely exceptionally good-looking man.
Could we just stop talking about Anthony Kudafides and his exceptionally good-looking back half? I thought we were here today to talk about who's going to win the grand final.
Who gives a stuff as long as there's guys out there building the crap out of each other? There's no tactics in grand final as long as your hair looks good and you go out there and whap the blokes.
Gabby Jeans taught me that after I started the all-in brawl at the 85 grand final.
Well, I hope Wayne Carey has a poor game so I can write an article in the Herald Sun and talk about how he cost North Melbourne the premiership. What do you think, David?
Wayne Carey is a bona fide superstar and role model, Mike, to his teammates and to younger footballers.
No, David, I mean, who do you think will win this week's grand final and why?
It's a classic confrontation. It's your in and unders versus your smalls and your talls.
I mean, on the one hand, they'll play forward of the ball, leaving the back half exposed with forward thrust into the 50 down the corridor.
I mean, the anaerobic capacity and your fast-twitch fibres and your caries, your arches versus your aerobic-dependent workhorse types of your rachudos and your Bickleys.
I mean, not to mention that Jarman's probably got eyes in the back of his head.
I mean, this is a game that's going to come down to two halves or probably even four quarters.
No, David, you absolute idiot. You've got no idea, do you?
Absolutely not.
I'll tell you what, my friend, I think you're holding on to your job down at Blue Land by just the slimmest piece of splinter on your woofer valve.
I injured my woofer valve in the opening minutes of the 89 grand final.
Should I mention that? Four broken ribs, punctured woofer valve and I couldn't ride my Harley for a month.
Excuse me, Rex, without sounding too ignorant, where is the woofer valve?
Without wanting to hurt your feelings, Mike, it's probably the place that you should stick your hard-hitting columns.
Anatomically speaking, Mike, I think it's probably safe to say you'll find it in your back half.
I think, folks, we're in serious danger of disappearing up our own back halves.
So now it's back to you, Jason.
That was our expert footy panel, of course, Mike Sheehan, alias Andrew Starten, Rex Hunt, alias Des Dowling, Dermot Brereton, alias Ben Price and David Park and alias Adam Slade.
LumenTex won it all. As we say, thank you to Jeff Farmer for joining us. Also thank you to Todd Viny. We'll be making another interchange. Thank you, Todd.
In a moment we shall talk to a couple of key crows, but if you thought it was always plain and smooth sailing here on Live and Kicking, you're dead wrong. It doesn't always go according to plan.
I'd like to do it first take.
Jason the Hoosier.
Kerry Buckley, Burke, Harvey. That's because we're presenting the AFL Players Association Awards tonight.
Sam Yuppert, Bruce McEvaney and ****.
I said it a few times.
Kitty voice. That was a kitty voice. You idiot.
I can't believe you made me do that. Bet you used that.
Good morning. Who's the AFL footy tonight? Buckley, Herd, oh ****.
Jason, who's footy off footy tonight? Who's footy off footy?
Let's go and get my phone out.
Yippity yippity yippity.
God, they're an ugly lot.
I thought you'd like that one.
Gee, is this tea or horse piss?
Who's in the footy tonight? We've got Buckley, we've got Harvey, we've got Kerry as well.
Yeah ****.
We've got Harvey, we've got Kerry as well.
Yo, Mr. Comitee. Never fear James Boom Boom.
Hey, Mr. Comitee. I'm Norm, late.
She's off with like a tea.
Herdy, that's beautiful.
They're going to be laughing.
Jason, who's who are footy tonight? We've got Kerry, Buckley, Harvey, Archer.
That's because we're presenting the AFL Players Association Awards tonight.
We've got Mike Sheen, Bruce McEvaney and Sam Newman as well.
In other words, Andrew Starter.

This one day, when I was so hungry, he had the idea of taking two McDonald's Quarter Pounders with cheese and turning them into one jar burger.
I'm a genius, too.
I just invented a double Quarter Pounder with cheese.
And now it's here.
McDonald's Double Quarter Pounder with cheese with two beef patties and three slices of cheese.
You should call it a half pounder.
Why?
Only McDonald's Double Quarter Pounder with cheese is the official burger of the NRL.
Not so long ago, My Harold got pay TV.
The men who installed it were just lovely.
They even climbed up on the roof and got rid of our old Ariel.
But we didn't like pay TV much, so we changed back, only to discover that we were stuck.
No Ariel, no picture, you see.
But then, there's nothing My Harold can't fix.
Not the crows again.
Please don't let them win the flag again.
I think I'd rather take a bullet to the head.
And that'll be the premieres again.
Not that long ago.
That's when they were crap away from home.
Now they're lining up for two flags in a row.
A bucket, please, I think I'm gonna throw.
Not the crows again.
Pointy heads, no necks, bad breath.
Thank God for caring.
Not the crows again.
I just couldn't face the world again.
Mr. Pagan, you could save me lots of pain.
Don't let the crows be premieres again.
Please don't let the crows be premieres again.
Not the crows again, a Willie Nelson classic.
And I'm pretty sure the whole of Victoria feels that way.
They're hoping that North Melbourne can do the right thing by us.
But it won't bother the Adelaide crows.
And we were fortunate enough to catch up with a couple of key crows a little earlier this evening.
Put your hands together for Ben Hart and Mark Rusciuto.
Well boys, what's it like to know that the whole of Victoria is against you?
I mean, look, last year it was a little bit novel.
The South Australian premier, we didn't mind that too much.
But this year, back to back, all of a sudden we're facing total South Australian domination.
How's the feeling over there?
The feeling's not too bad over here at the moment.
We had a good training session tonight and looking to come over there Friday,
go in the parade and have a training Friday.
And looking forward to playing a good side in North Melbourne on Saturday.
Ben, Rod Jemison's been in your side for a long time, the backbone of the side.
It doesn't look like he'll get a game on Saturday.
Is it nice to be hard for a guy like that?
Yeah, especially after playing so well against Sydney and then unfortunate with injury missing last week.
But he trained well and he'll be pushing for the selection and we'll probably find out tomorrow.
Mark, you missed the grand final last year.
How do you feel this year knowing the fact that Mark Rusciuto is going to play in the grand final,
of course, a chance for back-to-back flags for the Crows?
Yeah, obviously pretty excited.
Peter Vardy missed it as well last year and he's going to be there this weekend.
So we're pretty keen to get out there and hopefully win a Premiership medallion,
which we missed out on last year.
But yeah, obviously very excited and you play footy to win Premierships and got a chance this weekend.
Now Ben, for the rest of the guys that did play last week, is it a different feeling to last year?
I mean, you know what you've got to do now, you've been there and done that.
What's the difference between this year and last year?
Yeah, it was pretty strange, the feeling after the game.
I mean, last year we snuck up and we won and you knew you were in straight away.
And this time it took a bit of time to hit you.
But everyone's still pretty keen and really looking forward to getting over there and giving a good show.
Mark, North Melbourne, about six weeks ago beat you and only just beat you over there.
Does that worry you or does that give you something to take out of the game if you pinpointed their weaknesses from that game?
Or is it still a problem knowing they beat you only recently?
We had a couple of easy wins before North Melbourne and we knew that North Melbourne was going to be a good test for us,
even though it was on our home ground.
And that night they probably played as well as they can.
I think Kerry had 27, 28 touches and kicked five or six goals.
So they played really well that night.
And we know that this week if we're going to beat them it's going to be a four-quarter performance
and very hard to beat.
But we certainly learnt a hell of a lot out of playing them last time here in Adelaide
and we're all looking forward to hopefully turning the tables this weekend.
And Ben, Mark mentioned the name Wayne Kerry is no doubt the key to the North Melbourne side.
I know it's only early in the week.
Has Malcolm Blight indicated who may get that tough job on Wayne Kerry?
No, not really.
I'd imagine Peter Cavan after his performance last week.
He was tremendous so he'd probably get the job.
But we've got a few options as well, Mark Stevens could go back there and David Pittman if needed.
So I suppose the key is the midfield really.
If we can get on top there and cut down the supply to him then it'll go a long way to helping us.
Well boys, what about Tony Modra?
Has he been around the club, obviously his future's up in the air.
What do you think's going to happen with him?
Well Mods has been training really well ever since he got asked to go back to West Adelaide a couple of weeks ago.
He's been full of enthusiasm and handled the dropping very well and he's pretty keen to get back in the side.
He hasn't been in real good form for West Adelaide but his enthusiasm around the club's been great
and he's doing all he can to put his name up for selection this week.
North Melbourne play a very physical style of game.
Will you take it to them or will you try and, I mean some sides will try to go round them, beat them with skill.
Will you take it up to them and try and really just play as physical as they do?
It'll be a tight one-on-one game.
They'll match up on us and we'll do the same to them.
So it'll be a good, hard, tight game and it looks like it might be wet weather this weekend
so it could be pretty scrappy and it'll just be the team who can hold out the longest
and play for four quarters that'll win the game on Saturday.
Well how are you coping with all the attention over there?
I mean there must be a lot of back-slapping and well-wishing from all the Crows fans
and the South Australians in general. How's the feeling over there?
Basically there is a fair bit of back-slapping and that going on but the players are pretty confident
and understand that if we don't win this weekend it's all for nothing.
So we're not going over there to lose this weekend.
We want to win this weekend and then we'll celebrate after that
but there certainly hasn't been any celebrating yet.
And of course there's been quite a problem with ticket sales over there.
A lot of members are unable to get hold of tickets.
I guess you both probably had a lot of so-called mates ringing up looking for tickets.
The phone's been running a bit hot this weekend.
I think a few of the players are scouting a few tickets or looking to.
So there's plenty of money to be made around I think.
There certainly isn't.
Roo I know if there's a quid to be made you'll probably make it.
Thanks for joining us boys and we certainly wish the Crows the best of luck on the weekend.
Let's just hope it's an absolute ripper of a grand final.
Good on you fellas.
Thank you.
And the Adelaide Crows certainly looking pretty relaxed.
Time now to welcome another panellist.
Please put your hands together for Bulldog Champ, Brad Johnson.
Well Johnno have the boys got over the weekend?
I don't think we're over it yet but we certainly got together the last few days and had a bit of a chat about it.
Just looking forward to next year now.
Obviously disappointing the Crows did it to you again.
What went wrong mate?
Don't worry about that.
The Crows were a good side.
Don't want to talk about it.
It's too disappointing.
You've been through a lot of footage before and you just sit there thinking what could have been.
But not to be this year and hopefully next year we'll bounce back.
It's that kind of footage that gives you enthusiasm to do it again next year.
Alright Johnno we'll let you off the hook.
There'll be plenty of fanatical Crow supporters coming over to Melbourne this weekend.
But I'm sure they'll be equally matched by some of the North fans.
Now one lady in particular we saw plenty of on the weekend.
This is a lady by the name of Adriana O'Loughlin who barracks for North Melbourne.
And if you don't think her heart and soul is in it, just have a look at her giving it to some of the opposition there.
I think she might have said we touched the ball and had a go.
Yeah it was touched before it went over the boundary line.
Well our man Ozzy Jones is out at Adriana's place.
How are you going Oz?
Have a look at this.
Are you going to have trouble bungie?
I'm tipping.
Mate Ozzy do they realise that the Grand Final hasn't been played yet?
Are they celebrating a bit early?
No they don't realise but if these are the most fanatical supporters in the world,
I will bear my bum on Grand Final Day.
We've got Adriana here and you cut the traditional salute when the camera turned on.
Adriana what does this week mean to you?
Boarding.
That means beating the cries.
Don't surprise we're going to get the club back to the Victoria and it's going to stay there Ozzy.
And I'm sitting around here signing up for last year.
And we've got Adriana's husband here Len.
Len goes to the footy with Adriana each week but won't sit in the same row.
You just obviously saw it on the telly.
Can't see a thing Ozzy.
Don't sit behind him mate he's got white line fever.
No points sitting nearer the footy.
Not even for a cup or a half time.
No definitely not.
And also I've got the lovely daughters here with me Kim and Karen who were responsible for making sure this family were the first ones to receive Grand Final tickets this week.
So Karen firstly you actually received the tickets.
What sort of feeling was that?
Oh it was just wonderful when Michelle and I got those tickets it was just the most amazing feeling ever.
To realise that we had them and front row and just to be there.
Ozzy how long did they have to line up for tickets?
Between a group of them I think they lined up for about five days.
They all did a stint here and there but Karen was the lucky one to receive the tickets.
And also Kim the younger daughter what's the support going to be like on Saturday for North Melbourne out of this room?
It's going to be huge on Saturday and it's going to be especially big for Martin Pike.
Any questions in the studio?
Yeah Ozzy can Adriana hear us?
Yes Adriana can hear you.
Adriana as a young boy I was a North Melbourne supporter my hero my idol was a guy named Keith Gregg.
Have you got someone in the North Melbourne club over so many years who you love and admire so much?
Anyone that stands out?
Yeah it was Malcolm Bright unfortunately but I doubt it whether he still is today.
And then it was what was his name?
And Baker Phil Baker can't think of it now.
Hi Mum I've got to say hello to my mum she'll never forgive me.
Hi Mum love you Mum.
Well let's take a look let's have a look at a little bit of Adriana at the footy if we can get her to be quiet for a moment.
Oh she's still giving people a bit of a scene.
Look at this point to the scoreboard.
Love the flags going there Jase.
Pretty happy to wear the colours now Adriana can you hear me?
Order two drinks, no one drink I think.
I think every club's got supporters like but not this one.
This is back in 1996 at the grand final she's decked out in the colours and certainly enjoying herself and it was a good day then.
Are you there Adriana?
I think the noise there Jase.
Ossie could you just ask Adriana what's going to happen if North actually lose?
Adriana what's the feeling going to be like?
We don't want it to happen but if North loses.
We don't know, we don't go to a grand final to lose Ossie.
I'm sorry.
We can't let you win.
Good on you Ossie you've got your hands full.
I just want to say Jase imagine being married to Adriana and coming home with a dollar short in your pay packet.
Pretty game of Ossie to ask that question if they lose or just tear his head off.
Well they're certainly not thinking about losing and well aren't there some avid supporters.
Time now to go back to channel seven it is the third of the finalists.
They're chasing $30,000 what's happening Tanya?
Well it's all happening down here at the moment.
Quick question for James.
James what's the story with your foot on the Vespa?
We saw that and everyone's asking here.
I broke my foot a couple of weeks ago and I've never been a great motorbike rider but I'll give it away after that.
That was just disgraceful.
It's funny I was going to just, I was going to dob you in for celebrity who dares wins but after seeing you ride that bike I think that I ended up doing the dare myself.
We can that one.
Anything but motorbike riding.
Alright listen over to Hawthorne now.
These guys are going to put Peter Andre out of a job.
Wait till you see their abs.
Peter Andre is going to want them as their backup dancers over in London and they're here to do boom boom shake the room.

You want to see these guys leading them off.
Daniel Harford, Aaron Lord, Mark Graham, Brad Lloyd.
Let's shake the room boys.
Music playing.
We're about to hurt somebody.
Let's get this one thing clear.
There's only one reason why I came here.
We're going to want to tell you what's up.

Tick tick tick tick.

Kicking and swooping in the literal round.
Always the original man.

Boom shake shake shake the room.
Tick tick tick tick.
Boom.
Pump it up, pump it up, come on now.
I'm the first from the bridge to who I am.
Tell my mother that I'll never make it where I jam.
Sometimes I get too nervous to start the stunt.
But I fumble every word before burning up.
Ride and drive and tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock.
It's a little bit rough but it works still.
I need the good good good ground.
The good good get me through it.
Now we calm down.
Now you get through it.

Fight to get a stranglehold.
Sweat for it.

Boom shake shake shake the room.
Tick tick tick tick the room.
Boom.
What a fantastic effort from the Hawthorne boys.
And that is a totally unbiased opinion of course.
Let's go back to Daniel Halford.
Well Halford that wasn't a bad effort.
What do you think mate?
Can you hear us Half?
Yes mate go ahead.
Alright mate the boys pretty happy with that performance.
Oh I think by the smiles on their faces yeah they are.
Well I'm happy to say mate the judges are still in shock.
We can't even talk to them at the moment.
They have just been blown away by the performance.
Congratulations to the boys.
We'll find out how they fare later on.
It's time for a break.
Our last finalists hit the stage when we come back.
But in the meantime the boys will take us out to the break.
Fire away again boys.
Boom shake shake shake the room.

I'll tell you what, I'm glad I'm not a judge, there's some pretty stiff competition out
there today, they've all been fantastic, haven't they Tanya, at the moment I think the Hawks
are probably in front, so, favouritism, listen to him, but I'm not a judge, hang on, I've
got a question, yeah, uproar in the studio, Nick, why aren't you out here with your Richmond
playmates doing a song up? Yeah, look, we were unfortunate, we had to go first, and
we had Nathan Bower do it, he did a pretty good job, but he was just on his own, and
these guys, we didn't have the dance moves or anything today, maybe next year. Competition
put them off, our last guy up tonight is on his own, very, very brave mood, if anyone
is gonna steal the show and kind of put a spanner in the works, I think it's this guy,
Richard Champion, doing, hang on, Timmy Bob, Bo Riva, let's go, go Richard.
The first thing you know, I'll be back in Bo River. The first thing you know, I'll be
back in Bo River. The first thing you know, I'll be back in Bo River again.
So anytime you want me, you can come around. Only six days separates me from the great
time, and I'll be working hard, 12 hours a day, and the money I save won't buy my youth
again. Yeah, I'm headed for the weekend, and the tropical rain, and the place where no
man's looking on the dogs and me. I'm headed for the weekend, and I'm back in Bo River,
just where I want to be. Oh, listen out to the wind, baby, listen out to the rain, and
you'll be back in Bo River again. Oh, listen up to the wind, baby, listen up to the rain,
and you'll be back in Bo River again. Headed for it, headed.
I got the boating rod here. I got the rest of my days. Oh, didn't tell a star, but just
a song. So anytime you want me, you can come around. But don't leave it too late, you just
might find me gone. Oh, listen out to the wind, baby, and listen out to the rain, baby. I
feel that water, living at my feet again. Headed. I don't want to see this town come
on. Too many years made up my mind to go and stay right to my dying day. I don't want to
see another engine light. Too many years that have owned my life. First thing you know,
I'll be back in Bo River again. First thing you know, I'll be back in Bo River again. First
thing you know, I'll be back in Bo River again. When you're desperate and dauntless, don't
move, don't turn around, don't look, he's coming. Just the thought of love can be blinding.

change from automatic to sports mode for rapid acceleration and rapid deceleration. Everything
all right, darling? Magna Sports. Two shift modes, one heck of a car. He's real smart,
Benny. This one day, when we were so hungry, he had the idea of taking two McDonald's quarter
pounders with cheese and turning them into one giant burger. I'm a genius, too. I just
invented a double quarter pounder with cheese. And now it's here, McDonald's double quarter
pounder with cheese with two beef patties and three slices of cheese. You should call
it a half pounder. Why? Only McDonald's double quarter pounder with cheese is the official

You've got the hair band tag, we've got really good ones.
Triple low hook, that's not fair.
Welcome back to Live and kicking.
What on earth have you got there, Dougie?
Well, I've got the crows.
That's singing the theme song.
Singing one and all, good old off Melbourne, the champion Joe locally.
I agree. That doesn't rhyme to you, episode.
Alright, we've had some hot competition tonight, four teams striving for 30 grand.
Time now to find out who is going to collect it.
We've got the cheque behind us waiting to be presented.
Let's go to our judging panel and find out who the winner is.
Ladies and gentlemen, what have we got?
Okay boys, we've got a very, very serious look at all of the contestants today.
And I have to say personally, Bernard, that I haven't been as excited about a talent as what I was about Richard Champion since I saw Tina Arena for the very first time.
I thought Richard was sensational.
But Collingwood tonight...
When he comes to singing.
Bernard thought that Collingwood were very tidy and he gave them a good score.
Belinda thought they were very smart.
Doc thought the violin player was really kind of fantastic.
As for me, I just hate Collingwood because I'm an S in it's accord.
I couldn't give them any kind of score but we've given them a total of 72 tonight.
Good luck to you, Collingwood. Not bad.
I was impressed that the Dear Little Michael Flatley children went to some real trouble and they obviously had rehearsed and I do like thorough work.
The Madonna group were especially sloppy and the rap group were very untidy as well and what a miserable thing to choose to do.
God, rap.
The vocalist has potential, if only he'd get off his bike and stand and sing, but my scores are for...
Is that Port Adelaide?
Port Adelaide.
Is that your writing?
Port Power.
From Adelaide.
Any danger Bernard?
54.
I think you drew the tough judge, boys.
Awww.
It's a bit harsh.
Belinda.
Me.
Come on Belinda, tell us about Hawthorne.
I got the Hawthorne boys.
Yeah, I've got a bit of a soft spot for the Hawthorne boys too.
I was actually here when they did their little dance into the actual final and I thought they performed brilliantly tonight and we gave them 79.5 and I think they're being spunked.
Here you go, Doc.
Alright now hang on Doc.
You've got the final say, we've got Collingwood with 72, we've got Port Adelaide on 54 and Hawthorne on 79.5.
Can we go any better?
Who's the winner, Doc?
Okay, let me tell you.
Johnny Young gave 25, Bernard King gave 19, Belinda gave 24.5 and Doc gave 22 which makes a total of 90.5 points for Richard Toddman.
That's a damn win.
Alright mate, see you later.
See you later.
Alright mate.
Good seeing you.
See you later.
Look, it wasn't Irish, it wasn't drag, it wasn't rap. Australia, you're still there with rock and roll.
Good on you.
Alright.
It hurts me to do this, Chams, but there it is, a check to the total of $30,000 going to Richard Champion and the Brisbane Lions.
Thanks, brother.
Good on you, buddy.
Giddy up.
What a chance.
Now that is going to be a huge one.
We must also...
We're going around the world, baby.
We'll also thank our judging panel.
Please put your hands together for Johnny Young, Bernard King, Belinda Emmett and Doc Neeson.
Yes, thank you very much to the judging panel for absolutely nothing.
I know where you all live and this isn't over by a long shot, let me tell you right now.
Here's your snake.
Shut up.
Alright, let's get on to the big one, the 1998 Grand Final.
We need to give some tips before we go.
North Melbourne taking on the Adelaide Crows.
Who's going to win, James?
Simply North Melbourne.
Jason's been a great youth for them and they will continue it on with the win in the Grand Final.
Jono, you've seen them both in recent weeks?
Yeah, North Melbourne will bring the cup back to Victoria.
Hoke?
Well, Adelaide had a very classy outfit.
I think Malcolm Blythe is a super coach, but please, kangaroos, bring it to us.
We've got to win it.
Go the roos.
Roos, I mean.
Alright, well it looks like it's a clean sweep because I'm tipping North Melbourne as well.
Let's hope they can do Victoria proud.
Good luck to both teams in the Grand Final.
Don't forget, we are not finished yet.
We will be live and kicking on.
Don't forget to join us again next week as we basically review all the action from the Grand Final.
Time for us to say goodnight now.
Thank you to all our guests, to all our AFL stars who participated, to everyone that's enjoyed the show tonight.
Have a great one, have a great Grand Final on the weekend and we'll catch you next week.
Goodnight.
Good night.
Not so long ago, my Harold got pay TV.
The men who installed it were just lovely.
They even climbed up on the roof and got rid of our old aerial.
But we didn't like pay TV much, so we changed back.
Only to discover that we were stuck.
No aerial, no picture, you see.
But then, there's nothing my Harold can't fix.
Officer Michael Cardenas and Craig Hensey, working 77th Division, handled the first call of the day.
He's got a domestic violence call.
Suspect male, black, wearing green spiked shirt, white pants, blue baseball cap.
His name's Charles, still at location.
He's from 77th. She went to the station to call the police.
This is his house right here.
What happened, hon?
He wanted to talk to me, and I'm trying to get dressed.
I go and walk out the door, he takes his head and he hits me in my mouth.
Is that where that blood came from? Is he in there right now?
He was here when I left going to the station. See, both of them is going to court for spousal abuse charges.
Any guns in the house? No guns in the house.
Is he on probation or parole?
We're both going to... Probation type of thing? No, we're in spousal abuse charges.
He didn't want to do that to her.
Ma'am, this is not the place for that. That's what the court system is for.
Go ahead and open the door.
How are you doing, Charles? Yes, sir.
How are we doing today? We gotta talk, Charles, open up.
No, let's talk.
No, open up or I gotta take the door down. And I don't want to do that.
Okay, I gotta get your side of the story, okay? Yes, sir.
Let's go on inside. Let's go on inside, Charles.
Okay, have a seat. Have a seat.
Okay, what's going on, Charles? Close the door. What's going on?
Well, she wants to go. My mom owned the house.
And she says that she has to be evicted. And she wants her off the house.
What happened to her face? How did she get that on her face?
I don't know. Okay, stand up for me.
So, as far as I know, wait, wait, wait.
Give me your hand.
And here's what I know. And the one now, this is the one now.
Okay. This is the one now.
Did you hit her in the face? No, I did not.
Ma'am, why did he hit you today?
Because I would not come outside and sit in the grass with him for about four minutes to look at a rainbow he said that was out there.
Okay. And so when you wouldn't do that, he headbutted you in the mouth?
I tried to walk out the door and he took his head and hit me in my mouth.
Okay. You need an ambulance or anything? You okay?
I'm all right. I'm fine. I took my test.
Okay. Is that where that blood came from, on your shirt there, from your mouth?
Yes. There.
And right here, too?
Tile and the real guy.
Sir, do you have a problem with the give me 10 cents?
If I were Roger, would they have an ETA?
Sir, you gave me a problem with the 10 cents?
Shh, shh.
No, we just gave you 10 cents.
Sir, I'm...
Okay, here, here. Turn this way. I'm getting drunk just...
Are you breathing on me here?
Three days ago, she just got released from jail for beating me in the head with a stick.
How many times she beat me in the head?
See, I asked you if you touched her and you said no and then...
No, I didn't know.
...I asked you if there was an accident and you said you headbutted her on accident.
Yeah, we're coming out now.
Now it appears that several neighbors want to get into the act, but with a different story.
The officers remain impartial and rely on the physical evidence.
She just got out of jail.
She just got out of jail two days ago.
Ma'am, just because she got out of jail doesn't mean she can't be a victim.
She's on a whole bunch of drugs and she want me to run into the wall.
And then she says she's going to get him arrested for the last thing she do.
Let's go talk to the sergeant.
We know she run into the wall. She was in there looking at him.
And busted a nose on him. Then said he did it.
But she been saying all the time, that's the last thing she did.
What you're telling me is that she hurt herself instead of what she's going to do today.
Unfortunately, because she's injured.
She's injured because she run into that wall.
Yeah, I understand that. But we can't prove that.
You know it and I know I can't prove that.
Well, let's go for it. Let's know that.
Okay, thank you for coming out and I appreciate it.
He came out, so I thank you.
I tell that watch commandment, thanks again.
All right.
We'll see you.
Thank you very much.

Daywatch in Los Angeles.
And Lieutenant John Duncan of South Bureau Homicide.
Is busy trying to put together the pieces of another senseless shooting that took place in broad daylight.
Basically what we have here is earlier this afternoon.
Young man and his girlfriend drove into the gas station to get gas.
And while they were here they were confronted by some gang members that pulled up to the island alongside them.
Unfortunately the girl had the bad fortune she was wearing the wrong color clothes.
And the wrong neighborhood.
And the gang members, the suspects in this case, ended up firing several shots at her.
One of which struck her in the head.
She was transported to the hospital and failed to respond to treatment and was pronounced dead there.
The shooters neglected to spot the gas station security camera taping the whole incident.
We located where we think the car is at. We may have the vehicle.
But one of the really important things that we have here is this whole thing was captured on the service station surveillance tape.
What we know is that they were in the process of gasping the car.
The suspects pulled up.
That's when the exchange of words began regarding the color of her clothes and it escalated into a shooting.
Usually you come, you'll have a crime scene, you'll have some witnesses and a general description or a vague description of what the suspects are like and they're gone.
There was a quick response by the police.
This is a gang area. This is a gang related crime.
The officers that work the area are familiar with gang members that frequent this area.
They had some idea where to look for the car. They went there. They found what they believe is the car.
We have detectives that are here handling the crime scene, the actual crime scene where the shooting took place.
We have detectives that are at the station interviewing the five or six witnesses to what took place.
And then we have other detectives that are at the location where we believe we located the car that the suspects drove from the location.
Every detail of the shooting will be viewed and analyzed frame by frame in an effort to positively identify the gunman.
We had a shooting incident. Unfortunately for us, it was captured on video tape by the tape that's kept at that service station.
On the first figure here you'll see a car start driving up the driveway.
Our victim and her friend are situated right here and as you can see they're in the back of the car and they're pumping gas.
Now you'll see that they're kind of focused on what's going on. Someone is obviously telling them something from this car.
In number nine frame we can't see what's happening from the driver's side or the passenger's side.
In number 11 shows now that something's starting to come out of the car on the passenger side.
13 you start seeing these individuals start coming out of the car.
Number 14, here's where the gunshot is taking place.
The victim is now down and her boyfriend is trying to hide from the gunfire and the car is now sped away and now the victim runs for help.
Thanks to good solid police work, the gun used in the shooting was quickly recovered.
We went out there and obtained a search warrant and we were able to locate the murder weapon and two additional weapons also.
We have two persons in custody right now. One is an 18 year old and the other one is a 16 year old.
We have an individual that's outstanding in this shooting incident who has been identified by several witnesses as one of the persons involved in the shooting incident.
A tip from a concerned citizen led to the arrest of the remaining suspect.
All three men will face murder charges and the possibility of the death penalty since the crime occurred during a drive-by shooting.
The motivation for this shooting was she was wearing red.
One suspect is a juvenile and will be tried as an adult.
The other two suspects are being held on one million dollars bail and are currently incarcerated at the county jail in downtown LA.

Hello, I'm Kenneth McLeod. Welcome to another edition of The Cutting Edge.
Folks, have you ever been on a low-fat diet but you couldn't stick with it because it was just too hard?
Have you ever gained weight while dieting?
Or do you struggle with high blood pressure, high cholesterol or high triglycerides even though you're eating foods that are low in fat and high in carbohydrates?
Before we meet our guest today, I want you to watch this.
I couldn't believe that I could lose weight eating steaks and Caesar salads and brie cheese and all these wonderful things.
The protein power plan was very, very easy to follow.
I probably ate out more during that six months I was losing weight than I'd ever eaten out before.
And I would go to these nice restaurants and order a prime rib and have the salads with the good house dressings.
And people would look at me like, well, you must not be following your diet.
And I said, oh, yes, I am.
I lost 70 pounds and it completely changed my life.
The weight was gone in a couple of months and I feel absolutely great.
When you see the list of foods you can eat, that's what's so amazing about it.
It's not the old celery and carrots diet.
You can eat meat, you can eat cheese, you can eat normal food.
I can live life now.
Folks, none of the people you've just seen were paid in any way to appear on camera.
They and other people you'll meet today say they finally escaped the yo-yo dieting trap.
They lost weight, lowered their blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride levels in a way that will shock you.
Now imagine for a moment being able to eat forbidden foods like eggs, bacon, cheese, steak and real butter
using a plan that our guests say can be far better for you than anything you may have ever tried before.
Drs. Michael and Mary Dan Eads are two prominent weight loss physicians
who are absolutely revolutionizing the diet industry.
After 10 years of experience in their clinic, they now say that low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets
can actually make your body store fat and may even increase the risk of high cholesterol, high blood pressure and worse.
In the process, they've helped thousands of people lose weight and eliminate major health problems
without the use of drugs, without starvation or bird seed diets.
Dr. Michael and Mary Dan Eads, I'm very glad to have you on the show today.
Thank you, Ken.
Thanks for being here, Ken.
Well, let me ask you a question.
The government, many physicians, indeed the entire diet industry all say the same thing.
Eat a diet low in fat, high in carbohydrates, right?
Cut as much fat out of your diet as you can.
Now, you two are coming on the show, you're respected members of the medical community,
and you say that low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets can actually make us store fat and may even be harmful.
Is that right?
Absolutely right.
And all those people you were talking about have been telling us that now, to eat low-fat,
eat high-carbohydrates for 15 or 20 years.
You know, they've said that dietary fat makes you fat, that if you cut the fat out of your diet,
you'll lose weight, you'll lower your blood pressure, you'll lower your risk for heart disease,
you'll lower your risk for developing diabetes.
And if they were really correct in that assumption, what we would have seen is over the same 15 or 20 year period,
we would have seen all those things decline.
But we haven't seen that.
And in fact, we've seen just the opposite.
We've seen obesity just skyrocket up 30% in the last 10 years alone.
Type 2 diabetes has tripled.
Deaths from heart disease are back on the rise again.
Deaths from stroke are up.
So clearly, what they've been telling us has not been working because we've all been getting worse.
I mean, look around you.
Everybody you see, everywhere you go, everyone you see is overweight.
Go to malls, go to parks and look around.
Clearly, the solution that they've been recommending has not worked.
Well, why doesn't this low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet, why doesn't it work?
Because when you take fat out of the diet, you've got to replace it with something else.
And what people tend to replace it with is carbohydrate.
And carbohydrates are basically just sugar almost in disguise.
Our body converts complex carbohydrates, any kind of carbohydrate, really into sugar.
That's the job of our digestive tract.
And take a potato, for example, just a medium, normal-sized potato.
That's a quarter of a cup of sugar.
A potato is a quarter cup of sugar.
And when you eat a potato, it's the same in terms of what happens in your body.
It's the same as if you've eaten a quarter of a cup of sugar.
And that's the problem.
Clearly, what you're saying is it's very different from what all the other doctors have been saying.
So what do the doctors in your field, what do they say about this?
Well, you know, really, it's been very gratifying to us because virtually a week doesn't go by
that we don't get a call or a letter from a physician somewhere in the country who says,
I'm using your program either for themselves to correct problems
or for their own patients to correct problems.
And they're loving it.
People that will take a look at it find it so effective that they love it.
Yeah, and we've got doctors that come to our clinic and work with us,
come kind of to be trained firsthand in how to do this.
And we speak at lots of medical conferences.
And the response has really been gratifying and overwhelming.
Well, I want to just back up a little bit.
Can you tell me how did you actually, how did you guys get started in this?
Back when I hit about my mid-30s, I'd been thin all my life.
And suddenly, seemingly overnight, I just ballooned up and developed a weight problem.
So you were fat.
Right, I'd never had to watch my diet before.
And suddenly, suddenly I gained a bunch of weight.
And like everyone else and most other doctors who have very little nutritional training,
I kind of went from one fad diet to the next.
And I lost weight and gained weight and kind of yo-yoed just basically like everybody else does.
And so then I really got serious about it, sat down, went back to the biochemical textbooks
and kind of worked my way through the real basic science of what makes you fat
and developed the first part of this program.
Lost a lot of weight myself, kept it off.
Patients saw that.
We had a big family practice at the time.
Patients saw my weight loss.
And they said, hey, Doc, can you put me on that program too?
So I started putting patients on the program.
And the next thing you know, I mean, it sort of overwhelmed us.
And that's all we were taking care of was people for weight loss
and the other problems that go along with being overweight.
So you sort of just discovered this.
Right, yeah.
I mean, my reason for coming to it was a little bit different.
It was maybe a little bit more compelling in a way.
My father had his first heart attack at 40.
He was a virile, strong, healthy man.
And at 40 years old, he had a heart attack.
That's young.
It's very young.
Although it's becoming less young.
I'm 42.
That's right. I'm 44.
You know, it's really young, very young.
And, you know, that was a frightening thing for him.
And he did exactly what his physicians told him, which was to cut his fat.
He went from eating eggs and bacon for breakfast
to eating cereal with nonfat milk for breakfast.
You know, we hadn't always had meat with meals.
Suddenly we didn't have so much meat anymore, almost no meat.
And he really followed what he was told to do.
And he went from being a very thin man to being a really overweight man
over the next 18 years.
And he died at 58 with terminal heart disease.
It didn't do him any good to do what conventional medical wisdom had said
was going to save him.
And that worried me because I have that family history.
You have that in your genes.
Yeah. Well, his father died of a heart attack.
And my grandfather on the other side had heart disease.
So I was very interested in what was not going to let me do that.
And so when we began to look at that from the terms of what nutrition had to offer
for heart disease, it intrigued me.
And it made me stand up and take notice.
Well, that brings me to the next question.
If this whole idea of high carbohydrate diets,
which is what the other option is, does not work, well, what does work?
You know, back to what Mike was just saying, carbohydrates are nothing but sugar in disguise.
And when you break down those carbohydrates, they're just chains of sugar molecules hooked together.
It doesn't matter if it's a potato or a bagel or pasta.
It's all just sugar.
Or a jelly bean.
When you bring that into the body, it causes biochemical changes that make you store fat
and that make you make cholesterol and that help that cholesterol lay down in the artery walls.
So you want to pull some of that back out of the diet.
You want to reduce that somewhat and increase the parts of the diet that really are crucial to human health.
And the most crucial of those is protein.
And so the cornerstone of every meal becomes what is the protein in that meal?
Where am I getting my protein?
And this is what you teach people in your program.
Right.
That's fantastic.
And how many people have actually gone through the whole protein power plan?
I don't know.
It's hard to say.
I mean, NBC did a feature thing on our clinic last year.
We've been on CBS.
We've lectured all over the country.
We've lectured the doctors' groups.
We've been on who knows how many radio shows.
So I don't know how many people nationwide have done it.
But just in our own clinic and our new office that we've been in the last few years, we've had, I don't know,
2,500, 3,000 people that we've taken care of firsthand.
Just in the last few years.
Just recently, right.
That's fantastic.
Well, what I want to do is I want to roll a clip here and, folks, we're going to take a look at,
see what other people are saying about the protein power plan.
And I think it's important.
I want you to just listen.
Just listen to what people who have done their plan say.
The results were immediate.
Within the first week, it was like seven and a half pounds.
The first week, I lost seven pounds, which for me is a tremendous weight loss.
I, even if I ate very little, two pounds is about the most I have ever lost in a week.
So I was really impressed that I lost seven pounds the first week.
I'm down 28 pounds in six weeks, and I feel great.
I haven't felt this good.
I've never felt this good.
I saw immediate weight loss.
I mean, I think I lost six or seven pounds the first week.
I came in here a week later.
I had lost eight pounds.
And for someone who had a long way to go, I had a lot of weight to lose.
That's extremely motivating.
That is so powerful.
But in general, what can people expect to go through the protein power plan?
We tell our men patients that they're going to lose somewhere between, you know,
they can expect about three to five pounds a week.
With the female patients, we tell them that they can expect to lose somewhere
around two or three pounds a week.
The important thing is is what they're losing is not just weight.
It's body fat.
That's what you want to lose.
You don't want to lose just weight.
You want to lose body fat.
You want to lose the muscle.
You don't want to lose the muscle.
You want to keep the muscle.
You just want to lose the body fat.
And actually, we focus more on sizes than we do weight anyway.
We tell people that they're going to lose a lot of dress sizes,
a lot of belt sizes, that they're going to be smaller when they lose this body fat.
How do people tend to react when they go through the protein power plan
when they learn and you teach them as you teach people through the program
about all the different foods that they get to eat?
I mean, it's quite incredible, especially in light of all the experience that you've seen.
Sure.
Well, you know, people are skeptical at first because this runs so countered
of what they're used to hearing, that they can have these kind of foods again
and that it can still be good for them is really, they don't believe it at first.
But really, when they get started on the plan, the results are so quick.
Yeah, and as we explain it to them and they understand how it all works,
then they lose their skepticism.
When they see the results, they really lose their skepticism
because that's the nice thing about it, it works very, very quickly
and so they can see immediate results almost.
Folks, I want you to watch this.
Now, take a look at this.
You're not going to believe this, but this is what you're allowed to eat
on the Protein Power Plan.
It's quite amazing.
I could actually eat.
I could get up in the morning, I could have two eggs, a piece of toast, some bacon.
I could have a good breakfast.
And for lunch, you know, as long as it was protein, I could have cheese,
which I hadn't been able to eat in I don't know how long
because I was going, you know, on the low fat.
I'm enjoying eating now.
I own a restaurant and I get to eat foods that I serve instead of always,
oh, I can't taste that.
It's going to, it's high in cholesterol, it's high in fat.
It doesn't matter.
I mean, it tastes great and now I can enjoy it.
This is the first program that is livable.
You can go out and eat.
You can go to a cocktail party and survive.
You can go to McDonald's and survive.
It's not the old guy to eat salads, celery, and carrots.
So with a child that spends a lot of time in the pizza place
and in McDonald's, it's doable.
For breakfast, I'll have ham and eggs and toast with real butter
just slathered on there.
And for lunch, I'll have a nice meal, lots of snacks and dinner, a big dinner.
It's great.
It really is.
I don't feel like I'm living off of cottage cheese
with peaches on the side and a little rabbit food.
That's absolutely amazing.
What strikes me is that's exactly the opposite of what we've been taught.
Here are people, numbers of people over and over and over again
that are actually eating and eating and eating their way to losing weight.
That's right.
And that's what we tell them to do, Ken, because you know, inside,
each of them and each of us is a lean body that has to be fed.
You can't starve it to death.
That's not the point.
You have to feed your body the good food that it needs.
You don't starve.
You never starve.
Right. You just need to feed it the good protein sources
because that's what builds and maintains your lean body mass.
And what we do is show people how to reduce their carbohydrate intake
in a palatable way because remember, carbohydrates are sugar,
and the average person that goes on a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet
can eat one, one and a half, two cups of sugar a day
in the carbohydrate that they eat.
So they're eating a lot of carbohydrates and most of that sugar that jacks through.
It all converts to sugar in the body.
Well, that leads me to my next question.
Does that mean you can't eat any carbohydrates at all?
Oh, no. No, not at all.
Every carbohydrate is not the same, and what we try to teach people
is how they can incorporate a rich variety of highly nutritious good foods
that won't have that adverse effect for them.
And that's all a part of the plan.
We want them to enjoy what they eat and to be healthy.
Folks, if you personally have been struggling with your weight,
your blood pressure, your cholesterol, perhaps your blood sugar,
or maybe your energy levels are low, even if you are eating foods
low in fat, high in carbohydrates, you simply must call right now
and just get more information.
