Greetings football fans.
For those of you hoping to stay in touch between now and season 2020...here is the place to do so.
All things sport and anything else for that matter. There won't be a massive number of people around in the off season, but those that are usually pretty good value. I'll drop in from time to time myself, for what it's worth.
All the best.

Ha-Ha! Didn’t think Missy would be your “cup of tea” Markus but kudos on enduring it as long as you did. Much respect 💪. Not really surprised by the reaction from Mr Ashford and Steely as well. As Markus mentioned … “different strokes for different folks” which is what we want/need in life. No offence taken fellas, it’s all good and it’s great that we know each other (sorta) well enough to be able to say such things without getting too fussed over it 👍.
Funny thing about that song Markus put up Wednesday … I started singing it today after lunch. Not sure why or what brought it on though. Took about an hour for me to get it out of my head 🤓.
So, Mr Ashford would like some Aussie stuff for future SOTW offerings eh? Hmmm, I think we might be able to arrange something there. Those tiny cogs in my brain are already startin’ to turn. And yeah, promise no Darryl or John 😱.
I can assure you I’m not getting senile or going mad or anything but for some unknown reason this little thing I learned at school (at a very young age mind you) just popped into my head:
“I saw a saw in Warsaw, and of all the saws I ever saw, I never saw a saw like the saw I saw in Warsaw.”
Yeah, I know I’m a little strange. See what happens when I haven’t got the footy to focus on?
P.S. Now I’ve got "that song" back in my head 🤪. Damn! Oh and yeah, Steely’s correct. The dog’s name was indeed “Dog”. For those interested, here’s a Wiki for y’all to read:

I think Latrell is digging himself in a big whole he should be happy now with anything he is offered & titans should drastically lower there offer knowing all the other clubs have bailed out ...
Submitted by newbie from perth on
Yeah, I think you’re right Christine. It does indeed look like Latrell’s dug himself a bit of a hole. Too many friends, family and hangers’ on getting in his ear. Hopefully he’s gonna learn a valuable “life lesson” after this. Then again, some people never manage to “get it”.
Not sure if the Titans will drastically lower their offer though. Anything under 800K per season and he may as well play at the Bears 😉.
The eventual outcome of all this will be most interesting for sure.
P.S. Latrell – if you’re reading this, I have a message for you brother …. ditch the negative people that are feeding off you mate and do it quick! You can thank me later 💪.
Submitted by manyana on
Mark, as far as I know, the dog was just called "dog".
Saw the play when it was in Brisbane ages ago, and absolutely loved it.
It was a bit raunchy in places, but I laughed until I was nearly crying.
Cheers, manyana.

Re: latrell of course titans will lower the offer why would you offer $1 million a year if you know he can't get a better price than what you 800 k if latrell wants too stay playing in first grade even if it is at titans then he will take it latrell is in no postion too negotiate ,latrell has too get rid of his manager who had obviously advised him badly & he got to stop listening to mundine tell me if any onr does know is latrell related to mundine at all i know ferguson is but i wasn't sure about latrell ???

Thanks for the footrot link. I now remember Wal's Mother or Aunt where "the dog" was born gave him some poncy name which was never revealed. I remember the dog censored Murray's books whenever it became close to revealing his name. Gave me lots of pleasure and heaps of laughs all those years ago. The dog hated Macrocarpa trees being cut down, maybe Murray Ball was before his time. Thanks for the memories all.

As it appears Tigers & Cowboys are no longer interested in Latrelle, then
if I was him I would start to worry. As Newbie has said he has been getting some poor advise from either his agent or other, perhaps, selfish advisors. If the Titans pursue him then the offer should be vastly reduced. As everyone seems to know (except Latrelle) he has a habit of putting in only when it suits him. The young man certainly has talent but how do you keep it switched on for an entire season. Perhaps his agent should ban him from contact with Anthony Mundine who seems to be angry with everything in this country.

To All
Josh Addo-Carr pursued by the Tiges, but Storm say no way will they let him go. Brodie Crofts apparently signed by the Broncs for next year.
Latrelle Mitchell floating around like a gamefish waiting for someone to hook him and who knows what other players under contract or not are looking for deals. Time for the NRL to step in and say " if you have signed a contract you have to honour it" Try signing a contract to buy a house in Western Sydney and then saying NO I'd rather live in Bondi. The Lawyers would eat you alive if you we're able to escape from the West with your life.

hi mark re:latrell that is exactly what i said to newbie the titans offer sould be severly reduced wbg would you pay fop $$$ for so.eond if you don't havs too when you know the said person doesn't have ot of other options right you would be crazy to do so & yes your rivbt mark mudine has,
been behind all of it latrell can thank his manager
& Mundine for all of this as well as himself are you going to pay someone that is only his age top $$$ to not turn up if he doesn't feel like i & will just back flip on a deal because he wants more money no way he's walking liability in my

Hey DJ Anon
Always been a fan of Aerosmith and to put it together with Run DMC almost worked. As Newbie said it stopped early and maybe just as well.

Newbie’s Wed Night OSSOTW
OK, by “special request” (looking at you Mr Ashford) I’m gonna put up something this week from an Aussie band. Just hope it gets the tick of approval from you-know-who 😁 Keep in mind I’ll only put up stuff that I “rate”. Don’t forget we all have different tastes and so on but hey, you guys know that already (ha-ha).
Back in the day I thought this song was just so freakin’ cool. Guess what? I still do 😍. I also wished I could look as hip as they did (especially the lead singer) but alas, it wasn’t meant to be. I just didn’t have the bone structure or the beautiful straight hair. Not to worry, I’m still handsome as “all get out” so it doesn’t bother me now. OK, let’s get movin’ …. hope y’all like it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD9ZXFEDooA
P.S. Be forewarned, I will NOT be watching any Barnesy or Midnight Oil. People who know me understand why but suffice to say they (Barnesy & MO) are not on my playlists and never will be 😣. But if Markus wants to put some up, I say just go for it 👍. I’m sure there’s more people who like than not.
OK kids, stay well, keep safe and enjoy life 😍 Cheers…

G'day guys and gals!
Janie's got a gun is the exact song that got me into Aerosmith! When my Mum would take Dad to work in the very early hours of the morning, I would put my 'Pump' cassette in Dad's very expensive, very loud stereo and BLAST that song on 10! I tell ya, when everything is whisper quiet and it's still dark outside, that intro got me every time haha.
Not into rap, really at all, but... that would be an exception. Thanks for the share DJ A. You know, and I feel more respect lost from my rock brothers here (My SOTW won't help my cause either!) but I actually don't mind Eminem's 'Sing for the Moment'. He uses the chorus from Aerosmith's 'Dream On'.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4hAVemuQXY <-- Here is the link for anyone interested.
Now, onto my hump day diddy, Mark requested an Aussie song and I am more than happy to oblige, however, the song I have found is one that was lost in my youth and could possibly fit right in with the 'risque' picks from a few weeks back. For those that might know, there is a major thing wrong with it's film clip :P Feel free to share if you know! Also, one of the male dances became a little bit famous on T.V., does anyone recognize him?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdynaMn8qm0
And to my rock brothers, sorry. I promise I will make it up next week ;)
Newbie, it put a great big smile on my face that you caught yourself singing that tune :D I don't know about you, but when I can't get THAT song out of my head, I really don't mind at all <3
I think, this little group we have here on The Thinker Dot Org is one where we don't have to concern ourselves with how our own thoughts, feelings or tastes might 'offend' someone. The world has gone mad! People left and right, front and center are taking offence to the smallest of things... In here, I feel we can be ourselves without fear of persecution simply because what we have presented doesn't fit with the majorities taste, thought or feeling. It's bloody refreshing! The participants to this forum prove it's possible to be civilized without going over the top with political correctness and the like and I feel truly blessed to be a part of it all. Thank you for having me!
Now I should really wrap this up before I start hitting Newbie's post length :P
PEACE ✌

Hmmm, turns out I exceeded Newbie's post length this week.
Am yet you click your link Newbie but am just curious why no JB or MO? I myself have an issue with MO but am curious as to what Jimmy did :P

Very cool pick Newbie! Thanks for the share :D You know, I would not be surprised, if we were to get hairstyles like that today, it would probably be 'in' again :P A very big 👍👍👍 from me.

NuLif3 I'm also wondering why Newbie won't include Barnsey. Surely songs like Breakfast at Sweethearts and Khe Sahn are Aussie classics.
Midnight Oil is another matter, far too political for me and never liked them. Anyway as long as we enjoy our music no matter what genre we are doing ok.

One last comment!
And it's a bit controversial.
I'm not a Rugby Union fan but have watched with some interest the Israel Falou situation unfold over the past months.
Whether you agree with him or not Israel has twitted some dangerous comments about various sectors of our community. He is a preacher of his local church and surely entitled to his beliefs.
Now we come to Rayleen whatever the boss of ARU who sacks him because of these comments. Here we are today where Rayleen has agreed to a settlement (somewhere between 4 and 8 million) and also offered an apology to Israel.
Rayleen was at the helm of the NZ Ferns a few years ago and was lured to AUS to manage the Bulldogs. Under her watch and Dessie Hasler, unbelievable back ended contracts nearly bankrupted the Dogs. She sneaked away from the Dogs in their trouble and is now running ARU.
Make your own decisions but I think it's time this woman was gone from Aussie sports.

Get ready peeps, Newbie’s taking his crown back as the King of Posts 💪. Nice try Markus my brother but not today (ha-ha just kiddin'). Anyhoo, if you think reading this might be too much, you have my permission to scroll down, down, down. OK, let’s get into it…
Geez, if not having internet recently wasn’t bad enough, now I’ve got the dreaded “white screen” thing happening. I reckon it’s the ribbon where the back hinges are on my laptop that’s come loose/unseated but I’ve “borrowed” another monitor from work (hell it’s huge) and everything’s tickety-boo. Still need to get the ribbon reseated but that’s a job for Monday.
Markus, “Janie's Got a Gun” is about the only song I like from Aerosmith actually. There might be others but I’d have to check. Maybe someone could mention a few? But yeah, JGAG is a classic in my book. Love it a lot.
Eminem ain’t too bad. I actually have The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP here at home. Like listening but not fond of watching videos due to all those exaggerated hand gestures and crotch grabbing and so on. Drives me nuts 😣.
Markus, your SOTW really took me by surprise bud. Never saw that one coming. Now hang on! That bloke on the left, is that … nah couldn’t be could it? Hang on, it is. OMG, is that SB? Man, that was weird. He’s much better doing what he’s doing now compared to his dancing. God he’s bad! Well, semi-bad you could say. Hey, at least he had a go and yes, you gotta start somewhere I suppose. It was worth watching that video just to catch a glimpse of SB “doin’ his thang” 💪. Classic!
So, you (and Mr Ashford) wanna know why I don’t like JB and MO eh? Ask yourself, do you really wanna know? Can you handle the truth my brothers? Ha-Ha, no big secret really. I tend to ruffle a few feathers when I tell people why but seeing as we’re all family, I’ll tell ya…
Jimmy Barnes annoys me so much for one reason and one reason only. And it’s because he “SCREAMS” and his delivery just gets me angry for some unknown reason. I know he’s popular and for good reason but he just rubs me up the wrong way. It’s so bad that in the morning while doing my usual ablutions if I hear him come on the radio I’ll immediately stop what I’m doing and go into the lounge room and change stations. It’s that bad 🤬. I have a mate who absolutely loves him but hates John Farnham in much the same way that I hate Jimmy. I don’t mind John Farnham actually so with Jimmy and Johnny, me and my mate are the complete opposite. Ah, ya gotta love life eh?
Now onto Midnight Oil. In the beginning I thought they were an OK sort of band but didn’t like the way Peter Garrett moved and danced in that over exaggerated contorted style that he had. But I tolerated that. He was standing up for the little guys and for “causes” so that was alright. Then Pete ran for parliament and got in. “Here we go” I thought. What happened? Basically nothing. He (in my opinion) became part of the problem he rallied against when he was younger. He got in and sold us out. I’ll never forgive him for that. As a sign of protest I’ve “black banned” MO completely. If a MO song comes on the radio while I’m driving, guess what I do? Yeah, that’s right, I switch stations. Sorry Pete, you’ve done your dash with me.
See, no weird reason, just it takes a long time to explain it is all. But hey, the footy’s not started yet and you’re bored right? That’s why you’ve settled back and have taken the decision to read my drivel and if so, big love is heading your way 💖. Don’t worry, I’m almost finished. Just gotta check out Butcher’s video first…
Ah Butcher, what a great share bro’. that brings back some memories for sure. The only bad thing about watching this video is that I actually used to dress like some of those people on the dance floor 😱. Yikes! Hang on, at the time it was considered cool so that’s my only defence. A great offering nevertheless my man. Kudos!
@ Mr Ashford
Yay! Newbie gets a pass mark. Wait until I tell everyone at work tomorrow 😁. Woo-Hoo! Now as far as Rayleen whats-her-name goes. Couldn’t agree more. I don’t think she’s a football lover. I think she’s a power and money lover to be quite frank. Don’t like her, never have. But don’t worry, her day will come. She’ll get the boot (forgive the pun) but she will, just like every big corporate ding-dong who buggers up, walk away with a fist full of loot and someone else keen (dumb) enough to employ her in another high paying, high profile position. I despair of the world sometimes. Not very often, just sometimes.
@ Christine
Never thought much of the Eagles when I was younger but now that I’ve matured (like a stinky cheese 😁), I’ve really come to appreciate the songs the Eagles put out in the old days. Absolute masterpieces in my book. I have quite a few in my collection it must be said and yes, “Hotel California” is one of them. Nice one girl…
OK I reckon it’s time to head off now ("finally" they all shout) but just wanna say one last thing before I do…
Markus, nice sentiments regarding the crew we currently have here on the Thinker’s site. Couldn’t agree more bud. Thanks…

Good morning :)
a, technically that is a NZ band, though you could argue that Split Enz was the NZ band and Crowded House is Australian as it was formed here in OZ. Regardless, I love that song!
SP, I had no idea that song was by them! Or that they had been around so long! Cool.
Newbie, MO for me, like Mark, is too darn political for my lyrical tastes. I'm not a fan of Pete's singing (or dancing for that matter) either but think the music is really well put together. Ah yes, I guess I'm not a huge Barnesy fan either due to his tendency to get a little shouty. Though I have a song I would like to share that will hopefully make you laugh out loud rather than get angry haha. First, apologies to anyone who actually likes this song or Jimmy's role in it. This song is just really, really bad!! I can't even know where to start because every element in this song is just so awful!! All that before Jimmy even arrives on the scene with one of the most pointless, laugh out loud performances of his life! Honestly Newbie, I cannot imagine JB's scream upsetting you in this one, though, that being said.. This song as a whole might upset everyone 😂
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvrZJ5C_Nwg
Yes, that is certainly SB in the clip dancing his shirtless abs off haha. Many teenage boys, myself included, lusted over the blonde lead singer, however, it turns out she was never the lead vocalist at all. The Aussie music powers that be at the time felt that the back up singer and dancer in the group (in her 20's) was a much better look than the very talented (in her 40's) actual singer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYSSbxKysQc
That is the 'European' film clip for the same song with the real lead singer front and center :)
So Newbie, what is the rule on covers?
Have a great Friday everyone, 'The Thinker's Jukebox' is sounding terrific with an awesome variety of tunes! Looks like you might have created a monster Newbie!

@ Newbie
Can't agree enough about Barnsey's screaming. It annoyed me and put me off completely until "breakfast at sweethearts" apparently he lived in the Cross above a café called "sweethearts" and went regularly there for brekky to ease his hangovers. Also Khe Sahn hit a note as I was in the conscription draft for Vietnam. ( I was rejected as I had a bung right eye. Was absolutely devastated as I wanted to go. As an 18 year old Aussie I had no idea of the horrors of Vietnam)
I've been a great fan of Barnsey's collaboration with The Badloves on the USA "The Band" song "The Weight" I've often listened to both and give the Badloves a tick above our USA friends.
Being a grey hair I'm not sure how to attach a link to this post, but if you google Jimmy Barnes & The Badloves The Weight you will enjoy a classic song.
As for the Midnight boys...Garret danced as if he was afflicted by St Vitas Dance and then went to the Labor Party (perhaps the Greens may have suited him better) but sang at our Olympics about "Giving it back" while living in a harbour front mansion. I wonder if he gave that back.

“Standout Winner” Predictions - EPL Round 15 & 16
Last week’s predictions netted 3 from 4 which is sorta OK. Funny thing with the EPL was that Round 15 started on the 3rd Dec and Round 16 is starting on the 7th Dec (tomorrow). I’d forgotten all about that. It’s thrown me all out of whack. I’ll have to try and get up to speed and quickly. Anyway, here’s what we have (had) for Round 15 (a perfect 4 from 4):
Home Winners - Leicester City, Wolves & Liverpool (all winners)
Away Winners - Man City (won)
“Standout Winner” Predictions - EPL Round 16
Home Winners - Tottenham & Man City
Away Winners - Liverpool
Results so far:
Home Teams – 22/32 @ 68.75%

As for you Butcher yes As I said before I think I going to give you the BOTW absolutely fantastic song and Stevie Wonder is a legend
Steel Panther Yeah I quite like your song to it’s not the best of the group but it’s fine for what it is
TBH I’m not a fan of Jimmy ever the screaming is a huge problem for me
As for Midnight Oil I actually quite like there music

Good evening Mark, I found this song watching Jimmy Fallon's 'Do Not Play' segment on the tonight show, his reaction was SOOO good but of course Australia had a cry about making fun of a 'national icon' and the clip has been erased from the internet (I didn't think that was even possible!)
I thought the exact same thing re: brokeback mountain, either that or it has to be taking the piss.. surely?! haha

No worries girl. You can call me anything you like 😁. Actually, I quite like “Newbix”, there’s something about it that’s “interesting”. Maybe I could use that if I ever needed a username somewhere else. Hmmm…
Thanks for the “update” on your situation. It helps to understand it a bit better. Keep strong girl 💖.

RE: Gurus ... OMG, the hair! … oh the horror, the horror 😱.
@ Markus
Geez, you sucked me into that Barnesy video eh? Thought you might’ve been fibbing just a bit on how bad it was and so on but seems you were on the money. One of the music genres I dislike is “country”. Apologies to any country music lovers out there but me and country don’t get on. We’re not friends. Never have been and never will be. Meh, that’s life. OMG, got to the part where “Jimmy’s scream shouldn’t upset you” and bam! There it was 💥. Reckon I lasted all of about 15 seconds of Jimmy screaming before I hit the stop button. Nah, he does my head in 😣.
Now as far as the Aussie version and the European version of “Love You Right” goes, I much prefer the European version with the ever so sultry older lady singing.
Mate, I can’t make rules on “covers” obviously, I’m no-one special. But if you wanted my opinion well then I would have to say that as long as it’s an Aussie band then covers should be OK wouldn’t you think? Mr Ashford just wanted to see some Aussie bands (or artists?) so probably wouldn’t matter what they were singing. Just my 2c worth. I wouldn’t hesitate putting covers up if that’s any help 💪.
@ Mr Ashford
Attaching links is easy-peasy bud. If you want, let me walk ya through it. So let’s pretend you wanna post the link for that Jimmy Barnes & The Badloves (The Weight) song OK? Here’s what you do:
Find the YouTube video.
Start playing it or you can even pause it.
Up the top of your screen you’ll see the YouTube “address” thingy. Similar to the ones we put in our posts.
Just click once on that address and it should turn blue.
Right click on that blue address and hit “copy”.
Go to your word document or whatever, find where you want to put it and click “paste”.
It should paste that YouTube address in.
And then you’re “gold” mon frère…
It would be easier if I could attach screenshots but alas, not able to. Hope this helps…

Now keep in mind these verdicts are based solely on how much I like the song OK? Not the band and not the video. Just the actual song. Or to put it another way … do I like it enough to actually part with some cash to buy it instead of downloading it off the net for free? These verdicts are not meant to call your musical tastes into question. Your tastes are your tastes and don’t ya be letting others put you off. Stay true and never waiver. OK, now that that’s out of the way, here’s my votes:
Newbie it’s a yes from me (ha-ha)
Markus it’s a yes from me (Euro version)
Butcher it’s a yes from me
Steely it’s a no from me (sorry)
a it’s a no from me (sorry)
OK, that’s enough from me. It’s nearly 9.30pm over here and it’s still 26C. We’ve had a few hot ones last few days and it’s taking its toll. Got up this morning at 4am and it was something like 28 or 29, can’t remember. Good news is that it’s gonna cool down a bit but back up to 40 next Thursday and 43 Friday next week. Sheesh! I’m outta here! Peace y’all 💖

Thanks mate I'll give it a try.
Just saw on the news that Latrelle has decided to stay with the chooks.
If they can still afford him, its the best decision the young man has made.

Mr Ashford, I know you said you saw it on the news but I can’t seem to find anything on the interwebs that reports Latrell is staying at the Roosters. I’ll keep looking as no doubt the story will surface sooner or later. Thanks for keeping me posted though. Appreciate it brother 👍.
I wouldn’t be too concerned with whether they can still afford him though. I doubt very much they’d do a backflip and give him a million a year. Then there’s also “that promise” that if he stayed he’d be playing for the Bears so I just don’t know. Looking forward to seeing how this pans out…
Yeah, have a crack at the YouTube link thingy mate. I’m positive a man of your ilk can get this done without any fuss. Boom! 💥
P.S. A lot cooler today and it actually rained early in the day for about 10 minutes! Forecast has been amended (as all good weather forecasters do) and Sun looks like about 25 and gradually getting hotter through the week working its way up to 38 for next Fri and Sat. Better than the 43 they predicted earlier 😃
Cheers y’all… 🐔🐔🐔🐔

It’s not Latrell but family and media influences that’s creating speculation on his future
He’s a special player who has played for his state and country won 2 premierships and was last years leading point scorer and he out scored oppositions with his personal tally on numerous occasions and he’s only 22 and I guess that’s what people tend to forget
If no one is irreplaceable he’s pretty close to it.
He said he only wants to play till 30 and wants what’s best for his family
It’s only because he’s so good it’s getting so much media attention
I’ve been a roosters member for many years and the mail I’m getting is that Souths are a big contender as they have money from Burgess Sutton and are just waiting to see if Jai Arrow commits and Cody Walker to decide his future and his father being a passionate rabbits man has got into his ear as well
There is a chance he may stay at the Roosters but what I can tell you if he does stay with the premiers he will be in the top grade despite what your hearing

I heard from a fairly informed source that he tied up with the Storm as a replacement for their back line losses. I feel for who ever signed him on big coin, until he gets in his head to work, not just coast on talent, he's not worth it.
