DOCKERS v HAWKS

RED WINE – WHITTAKER’S COCONUT SLAB  – SAILOR JERRY’S – and MORE

 THE BOUNCE-DOWN with Alsy the Ayatollah in the Chair, the Docker’s second FINALS game is here right here right now and it’s right where we want to be.  Listen to Alsy’s view on the state of the Dockers after their second week off – and look out for more from the TANTRIC PIRAHNA later in the show. Special guests tonight are Adam the Chippie and his brother Vinny with a very special appearance from the one and only Roo Boy – Patrick Chaney.

.

.

HALFTIME AT THE FOOTBALL – with special guests RIFF and RAFF live from the RAFFLES HOTEL. Listen up as Adam the Chippie and his brother Vinny share with us all their synergistic and poltergistic-like knowledge of the Dockers and their awaiting FATE.   

.

.

BOUNDARY RIDER SPECIAL – He’s back in the building –  here’s PATRICK CHANEY’s take on how the ROOS will do this week – the more he disses them the stronger they get – sound familiar? – Can the Roos beat the Eagles? – The TANTRIC PIRAHNA would say YES.

,

.

THE SMEAR – Here more from the official spokesperson for the TANTRIC PIRANHA THEORY and how it is set to deliver the Dockers’ first premiership, the EAGLES have done everything right by softening up the HAWKS and causing them to miss the a week off AND now the EAGLES will lower their colours to the ROOS and pave the way for a DOCKER flag – with me? 

.

.

FINAL SIREN  – Take a deep breath – this is sudden DEATH to the loser. The Dockers by the slimm-ist and flimsy-ist of margins but just one point will do it AND the ROO to bop the EAGLE.

DOCKERS v SWANS

http://www.matrixapprovals.com.au/podcast/2015-f1/

MICROPHONE, CAMERA, PHONE, TEA & BISCUITS

THE BOUNCE-DOWN with the Deadly Dr “MC” G  in the Chair, we don’t need to talk much about last week’s statistical anomaly of a game between the Dockers and Port, all the PURPLE HEART points to Captain Barlow, but now things are serious, the FINALS are upon us, the TANTRIC PIRANHA is still an influence over Saturn’s super-moons but he who laughs last laughs longest, let’s hope everyone is still following the script – where is the script – who’s got the envelope?

.

.

HALFTIME AT THE FOOTBALL – with special guest DAVE WARNER, existentially torn between his adopted WHITE SWANS and his real home team the DEEP PURPLE DOCKERS, catch DAVE at his poly-math best as he conjures what just might happen this week in the first week of FINAL ROUND FOOTBALL, listen up as we drift into how the fuck Brian Adams got the half-time-at-the-football entertainment spot for this year’s GRAND FINAL and more .   

.

.

BOUNDARY RIDER SPECIAL – Get PATRICK CHANEY’s take on how the ROOS will fare this week and whether the DOCKERS will even make the GRAND-FINAL!

,

.

THE SMEAR – Heard the one about the FRIDAY night game and the SATURDAY afternoon game? – What will WA crowds bring to the first ever double-header qualifying round for our very humble SUBIACO OVAL – Who will go to both matches? Who loves who and who doesn’t? 

.

.

FINAL SIREN  – Take a deep breath – we interrupt this broadcast to tell you from now on there are only winners and losers – there’s a prize for first and a sharp pineapple for second, DOCKERS by 2-3 goals because the SYDNEY machine has blown a head gasket, EAGLES to scrape over the HAWKS in a tough match, TIGERS to bop the ROOS, the BULLDOGS to beat the CROWS to make it two wins to VIC and two wins to WA for the first FINAL ROUND.

The PIRANHA THEORY, somewhat like the PARETO PRINCIPLE, dictates that from the point of view of the best case for the Dockers a situation will arise whereby the mob down the road will trash the HAWKS, forcing the HAWKS to play an extra final, further weakening an otherwise brilliant and battle hardened team of champions to the extent that the DOCKERS will TANTRICALLY walk all over the HAWKS in the preliminary final, making it a WESTERN DERBY GRAND FINAL at which the DOCKERS will out class and out play all opposition to cap off a truly great season.

PORT v DOCKERS

http://www.matrixapprovals.com.au/podcast/2015-23/

A PICTURE OF A PURPLE HEART 

BOUNCEDOWN with Dr G in the Chair – A big win against the Demons, now for a last training run before the FINALS, the PURPLE HEARTS are everywhere.

.

.

HALFTIME AT THE FOOTBALL – with special guest Les Everett – talk of Armageddon is not quite right  – be seduced by Les’ world view – the Dockers to march their way to the FLAG starting next week! 

.

.

THE SMEAR – Jeeeeesus – could it be a western derby grand final? – Terror and fear may take hold – 

 FINAL SIREN  – watch out here come the DEMONS – the DOCKERS to find the cruise control and win by 4-8 goals – anything else is a sign.  

NORTH MELBOURNE v DOCKERS

http://www.matrixapprovals.com.au/podcast/2015-21/

Well DERBY is done, it could have been better, did we simply forget our opening lines? – there was certainly no choir down the back and its hard to come back against a team who racks up 7 majors in the first quarter. Alas we beat them over the final three quarters 10 to 8!  Purple Heart to the talented Mr Stephen Hill.

.

.

HALFTIME AT THE FOOTBALL – with special guest Ian Harrington – talks to us about the Docker’s defensive structure  – can we find another gear to match the intensity of the finals, will our chariot be the last to lose all of its wheels and will that advantage hand us a premiership? Or will we have to play our best football to earn it? – Ian’s confident we will find a way! 

.

.

FINAL SIREN  – the third last game for 2015, what’s in store? – we need to win at least 2/3 to keep our place at the top of the table, this week is another test.  The DOCKERS to play extremely well to win by 1-4 goals but don’t expect the ROOS to give it away – watch out – this could be a grueling match.  

DOCKERS v EAGLES

http://www.matrixapprovals.com.au/podcast/2015-20/

Down to business: Jess Smyth (aka Mrs Jack Darling) V Kate Furey (aka Mrs Chris Mayne)

Here’s the DERBY – with Alsy the Ayatollah of Rock n Rollah in the Chair – we started with the SAINTS (Purple Hearts to Stephen Hill) but quickly moved to the Derby – this week we can’t tell you who’s going to win but there are plenty of things to consider  – the weather, the ins and outs of the injury list, the psychology and tactics of winning and losing  – with its home crowd the Dockers should make it 21-21 all in the 42nd DERBY of all time, and it could be as close as 7 points – special guests the MAN from MANJIMUP and SEAN of the “HOFFMAN” fame.

.

.

ROILING WITH THE RIVALS (PART I) – Hear the talk from our man from Manjimup, the land of bird friendly salami, he was a bit coy about his tip but is certain rain will make it a SLOG for both teams.

.

.

THE FINAL SIREN – Dockers v Carlton, Dockers to bounce back and commence their march to the finals with building confidence, desire and purpose AND hone their GOAL SCORING – yes the Dockers are 10th on the ladder with respect to points scored, the priority is to find a way to KICK MORE GOALS – a big forward ………?

Once were druggists? – What were they on? We know where they got it – but how much did it cost?

.

.

Just when you thought the season had ended here’s some talk from beyond the grave – the FINAL BOUNCE DOWN.  Thought lost in the expanse of the middle of the envelope it’s been found, yes found on the purple USB stick down the back of the seat in the auto-mobile,  hear the incisive comments of the purple panel on the PORT game and check the votes for the PURPLE HEART that went to Lachy, Lachy, Fyfe, Ibbotson.

The DOCKERS lost the battle of HOMEBUSH – what didn’t help was a dodgy VIRGIN flight, a rain soaked pitch, a broken jaw and a lop sided free-kick count but NEVERMIND we have re-grouped and this week’s game is another ultimate test – The purple heart points to Mzungu, Ibbotson, Pavlich, Pavlich.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

HALF TIME AT THE FOOTBALL  – with RAMPAGING DR “MC” G LIVE FROM THE MVP NIGHT

BREAKING NEWS – A gorilla is on the loose, yes Dr “MC” G has escaped through the meta-physical bars of the PURPLE CIRCUS’ guerrilla garage to attend the MVP night in Melbourne – on a school night to boot – to see FYFE be honoured for simply being the KING OF THE PACK – hear it live and direct.

.

.

.

.

3rd QUARTER – FANBELT – JOHN EATON

Here-hear-John Eaton has joined the CIRCUS – living just a long torpedo punt from the new LATHLAIN PARK we get the first first-hand report of the earthworks that will deliver Perth two new footy fields.  We may lose a few trees for it but John has already started planting purple coloured roses, jacarandas and petunias to PURPLE-UP-THE-PLACE. A fully committed DOCKER John also shares his deep-depth optimism that we are metaphysically on track to take the 2014 FLAG.

.

.

.

.

4th QUARTER – The “FINAL SIREN”  –  DOCKERS v PORT – this Saturday’s Showdown

DOCKERS v PORT – the PURPLE CIRCUS is predicting a big night out – a DOCKERS win,  we all think it is a game that can be won – on average 2-3 goals to the DOCKERS.

.

The DOCKERS won the test of strength against the other PORT power, big time pressure was put and resisted, a good sign – trust me – for the finals – Ross the Boss has got us to a peak – BUT HIGHER WE SHALL CLIMB – the purple heart points go to Barlow, Dawson, Dawson, Ballantyne.

.

.

Listen up  – a rare interview with President Clinton, the straight shooter who shoots us straight.

.

.

.

3rd QUARTER – FANBELT FINALS PERSPECTIVES – MATT RAWLINS (Swans) and  VINNY WHYTE (Dockers) 

Local talent and insight is never to be under estimated, here we have two die-hard fans – a cage match is yet to be arranged – could Wallaby Bob keep them in the ring? Rest assured these too giant killers will not be at the same TV venue this week – but if they did meet somewhere between East Fremantle and Salter Point there would be hell to pay. GAME ON!

.

.

.

4th QUARTER – The “FINAL SIREN”  –  SYDNEY v DOCKERS – 1 v 4 and the chance to take a big short cut to the semis

SYDNEY V DOCKERS – the PURPLE CIRCUS predicts a game of high level skill and pressure on a wet slippery surface, not all of us ended up tipping a DOCKERS win,  2 for and 2 not for, on balance it’s a DOCKERS win by 5 points.

.

The DOCKERS continue to brew their return to strength with raised intensity and a winning formula – the canter at the GABBA went well – YABBA DABBA DO  – the purple heart points go to Taverner, Taverner, Mzungu, Ballantyne.

.

.

2nd QUARTER – The “CRACK” with STEPHEN O’REILLY – Former Club Champion

Join Stephen O’Reilly recounting his career as the Docker’s fullback, his previous time with Geelong including the 1994 Grand Final. Stephen is a straight shooter with the words if not the boot – he once played Full-Forward and kicked an incredibly 1 goal 7 points. Currently a member of the Docker’s board he carried insight and judgement – an all round bloody good interview.

.

.

HALF TIME AT THE FOOTBALL  – THE CROSS TOWN SMEAR x 2 

Strangely missing from last week’s show the CROSS TOWN SMEAR is hear. One of the most popular segments on the CIRCUS, hear just why the EAGLES are just RUBBISH – note two smears are better than one.

She’s back, Nadia, Lesley’s mate, a most passionate DOCKER, hear her assessment of the strengths and weaknesses, her suggested treatment for at the game anxiety with a rolled up RECORD and her plans for September.

.

.

 4th QUARTER – The “FINAL SIREN”  –  DOCKERS v PORT

PORT v PORT the PURPLE CIRCUS predicts a tough encounter that ends up as a 2-4 goal win – let’s face it this is a full dress rehearsal  – no time for slippage.

SPECIAL BUSINESS  – “AFTER THE SIREN” with FINN FROM FITZROY 

We make contact with our man in Melbourne – Finn from Fitzroy – after three weeks of radio silence we are back in the PURPLE NEST OF FITZROY – Fitzroy being the purple heart of Melbourne  – although we kind of fully expect the Dockers to play at least one game in Melbourne in the 2014 FINALS series  – we ask Finn to tells us how its shaping up and just what preparations he is making for his PURPLE SEPTEMBER.

.

The DOCKERS move from strength to strength  – the grand final re-match and all went well after another slow start  – 5 goals to the PURPLE PAVLOVA – welcome back Son-Son Walters – this is it the rise and rise at the right time of the season – the business end of the deal  – the full throttle is about to be released  –  and the purple heart points go to Mundy, Pav, Pav, Pav.

.

.

2nd QUARTER – The “CRACK” with football extraordinaire DAVE WARNER – Perth punk pioneer and East Fremantle brethren 

Join Dave Warner as he walks, talks and machetes his way through the football streets of Fremantle and East Fremantle re-calling the building blocks of the DOCKERS, a Sydney supporter with a longing for western purple, will his dream grand final of DOCKERS v SYDNEY come true?

.

.

3rd QUARTER – FANBELT –  VOODOO LESLEY THE OPPOSITION HOODOO SPECIALIST RIDES AGAIN

She’s back with FRED the VOODOO CHILD, hear how they combined this week with quick hands to make sure the HAWKS kicked more points than ever before with grand child TABATHA leading a hand, an overnight sensation when discovered earlier this season on the PURPLE CIRCUS, Lesley is now getting primed for the FINALS, only problem is FRED doesn’t work well on time delay for obvious reasons and so it may be a case of training FRED to listen to the radio or making the big trip to the Gee!

.

.

 4th QUARTER – The “FINAL SIREN”  –  LIONS v DOCKERS

It’s always a big trip to the GABBA and so we are on-guard, but the PURPLE CIRCUS have picked an on-average 6 goal win over the lowly placed LIONS – but watch it – the BRISBANE HEAT is merciless and there is no FYFE.

.

.

THE SPECIAL TAPES – DAVE WARNER’s TRIBUTE SONG TO THE DOCKERS

A special Docker’s theme song from Dave Warner “Freo the heart and soul of football”

.

.

PLUS THE FREMANTLE UKULELE COLLECTIVE’s EFFORT!

At no expense to the management zoom right in on the FREMANTLE UKULELE COLLECTIVE version of the MERCY SEAT MASH-UP with no apologies to NICK CAVE for that one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=nBGCeqWk1qU

Check the intro –  one of Sean’s best – listen to him cut through the RED FOG and pay homage to FRANK SPENCER.  The last round was exciting, telling but a slightly disappointing game against the Cats –  A  TWO POINT LOSS – but we could’ve run over the top of them and we needed the 4 points BUT we built character, some fresh legs, and that’s timely – the purple heart points go to Crozier, Fyfe, Duffy, Fyfe.

.

.

2nd QUARTER – The “CRACK” with JASON “CHUCK” NORRISH – Club Champion, smart operator and dirty dancer

Join Jason Norrish as he re-counts the glory days as a star player (in a team that was still finding the formula for success), a tenacious tagger and a deadly dancer.

.

.

HALF TIME AT THE FOOTBALL – ROILING WITH THE RIVALS – YOUNGY FROM THE HAWK’S-NEST!

The Purple Circus drops-in on Craig Young, a third generation HAWK.  Whether he be at the MCG or as far away as Miami, Youngy will be watching the game.  He’s wary of the DOCKERS on their home-ground but still thinking a HAWK win – a Docker’s win would be sweet.

.

.

3rd QUARTER – FANBELT –  GEOFF HUTCHISON – THE PURPLE PORTMANTEAU

Geoff is more than a fan – this purple portmanteau breathes purple oxygen – and all he needs is the air that he breathes and to watch the Dockers deliver – find a traffic-jam and get that BLUE-TOOTH working – this is GOLD.

.

.

 4th QUARTER – The “FINAL SIREN”  –  DOCKERS v HAWKS

At home, nearly in form, against the top team, it is my melancholy duty to inform you that this is the game of the season for the DOCKERS – one they can win – wish ‘em luck and watch them KICK 16 GOALS! – the PURPLE CIRCUS consensus is close game that could go either way.

.

.

THE SPECIAL TAPES – THE DRUG SCANDAL – 

.

Check the intro.  An exciting game.  We beat Carlton and got the 4 points. We also built some character – purple heart points to Sandilands, Fyfe, Fyfe, Fyfe.

.

.

2nd QUARTER – The “CRACK” with LES EVERETT – The official Docker historian.

Join us with Les Everett as he tells us all about the big party at the Convention Centre last week – who he saw, how many bars there were, who did what to who and how he LAUNCHED his book and was mesmerized by the official auction or the LEATHER-BOUND SIGNED COPY – How much for that Les? Will Dr “MC” Gee write the Dockers’ 40 year history?

.

.

HALF TIME AT THE FOOTBALL – ROILING WITH THE RIVALS – GARETH ANDREWS – ONCE A CAT!

The Purple Circus drops-in on football legend Gareth Andrews, once upon a time the Cats’ full forward playing with Polly Farmer and JK Watts and who reckons Mal Brown was a thug! As if he needs any more credibility he has also been successful in business and in kick-starting the AFL Players’ Association – yes the Union!  Check this out – if only – for the story about BOB HAWKE.  He also reckons that the CATS will beat the DOCKERS convincingly – let’s hope he is WRONG on that!

.

.

3rd QUARTER – FANBELT – MARK JEFFERY – IS THAT HYMIE IN THE PURPLE TANK-TOP?

Mark tell it like it is – a local-lad – check-out his view on the game.  With deep insight also comes frivolity and for that reason I have included my favourite Mark / Hymie referential moment see between 6-9 minutes on the attached YOUTUBE CLIP for Mark / Hymie take on the athletic challenge of the CONTROL versus KAOS – I only know two people who can do that Mark / Hymie. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iU2EuJBbxPY&feature=player_detailpage

.

.

 4th QUARTER – The “FINAL SIREN”  – CATS Versus DOCKERS 

Well – the CATTERY – we in trouble? – Big game. The wrap was a +2 goal loss – that is the PURPLE CIRCUS prediction but let’s hope we are WRONG on that!

.

What happened? – Was it the Hoo-Doo of equalling the club record of 9 in a row? Did the SAINTS use the anti-anti Lenny Hayes-Ross Lyon factor to their supreme advantage? Or was it the common cold? It all sounded like a HG Wells-Orson Welles double whammy train smash except worse than that it was on TV! Matt Price Purple Heart votes nowhere to be seen – where is that envelope?

.

2nd QUARTER – The “CRACK” with PETER MANN  – Former Club Captain and Purple Champion

Join us with Peter Mann – former Club Captain – as he shares with us some of his playing day memories.  Hear what may go down in Purple Circus history as one of the longest  questions asked on air EVER  – as Dr G dials in from Cronulla to add some short term memories of his own!

.

4th QUARTER – The “CROSS TOWN SMEAR”

.

The “FINAL SIREN” – Dockers v GWS – we predict a DOCKERS’ win by 6-10 goals

What a memorable pillage of the eagles nest, that makes an all time Derby score of 19-21 (still in favour of the eagle but that margin is like dissappearin’ through the smoke rings of my mind), in the absence of the more frequent host-masters Dr “MC” G and Professor Moriarty aka Alsy Arty MacDonald,  AK47 and Jeffo step-up, with the AK47 trained on the backline and Rammin Slammin Jammin Jeffo covering anything forward of the centre and around the goals – the dynamic duo get on with it – a show like no other. Matt Price Purple Heart votes to Fyfe, Ballantyne, Sutcliffe, Suban.

2nd QUARTER – The “CRACK” with WA author Peter Docker – a passionate Docker and the author of a WA frontier trilogy

Come join us with Peter Docker. He started somewhere near Esperance and qualifies as a day-dot Docker-disciple.  Listen is as he shares his love for the game and the team that wears PURPLE – his stories are also about frontier politics – that’s the divide between black and white – indigenous and settler – his trilogy includes “Someone Else’s Country”, “The Waterboys” and “Sweet One” – check ‘em out!.

.

3rd QUARTER – “FAN BELT” with Trish from the Territory  in Darwin Town – that’s the venue for this week’s game

Special guest Trisha from Darwin gives us the low down on being a Docker above the 26th Parallel. With a dedicated by minimalists fan base, Trish expects there to be at least 9 other DOCKER fans at this week’s game at the Marrara Stadium in RAPID CREEK – just next to the airport.

4th QUARTER – The Cross Town “SMEAR” – from the vault – a self smear from the VERANDAH with no MIRANDA?

Recorded before last week’s Derby and subsequently lost for a short time in a labyrinth of legal lollapalooza, listen to the EAGLE try it on with some  “them’s gonna beat you big time honey” puffery. Possibly set to become an all time classic in the annuals of self smear-ology.

.

The “FINAL SIREN” – Demons v Dockers in DARWIN – the PURPLE CIRCUS predicts a DOCKERS’ win by double the Demons’ score

The festival of alliteration drops in for this week’s dash to Darwin for the game between the Demons and the Dockers.  The Dockers to win by double the Demons’ score.

A win YES: to make it a Dockers 19-21 DERBY record, will it be by a single point from the long kick good night from Ryan Crowley that double falcons off the head of NICKNAT in for a point as the final siren sounds to give a DOCKERS victory OR wait for it – just a massacre?

Listen to swiggin’ Higgins share his purple blooded passion vox-pop (with perhaps a drop of SHIRAZ).  Born in Ireland, in case you are wondering about the accent, and brought up on a diet of potatoes, turf and Irish athletics, JJ’s acumen for the Aussie game is clear and deep.

2nd QUARTER – “The Crack” with Doctor Field Marshal Jeff Boyle the club physiotherapist

HALF TIME at the football – Listen to 1/4 of the Fremantle Ukulele Collective LIVE in the studio as they mash-up the Dockers THEME SONG (way to go) with the MERCY SEAT (by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds), scroll down to see a picture of Aidan’s DOUBLE-BASS broken into pieces of wood and wire as the forces of god-knows-what enters the guerrilla garage and blows us all way – was that TOMMY or HENDRIX at Monterey circa 1967?

3rd QUARTER – “The Fan Belt” with Lady Lesley and Fred the Voodoo Child, a Docker to the marrow. 

Definitely check this out “THE FAN BELT” with Lady Lesley.  No words can capture the power of the purple passion that pours from this, dare I say it, DAY DOT Docker’s “polter-member”.

More frivolous fun from the “THE CROSS-TOWN SMEAR”, hear the chief professor of smear Alsy run riot with the musical differences of the cross town rivals.

THE FINAL SIREN – this week versus the Eagles  – we are nervous but confident

The Round 7 clash – the DERBY – ..dot…dot…dot………………..

Tuning up for the MERCY SEAT the BASS came crashing down and snapped its neck like a slipped knotted felon – a clean break and this little collection of wood-wire-glue is headed for the knackery – any takers?

Switch on to the “THE BOUNCE DOWN” and hear the purple circus panel painfully accept the Round 5 loss to the Sydney Swans. Was it the goal-less second quarter combined with Buddy’s four goal second half that blew the rocker-cover gasket and foiled the chance of an away game win?

2nd Quarter – “The Crack” with special guest David Hatt (Fremantle Football Club’s inaugural CEO)

David Hatt joins us on “THE CRACK” and recalls 7 years as the inaugural CEO leading what was nothing short of an herculean effort to establish a club at a time that was not all beer and skittles – but as it had to be done – limestone block by limestone block  – against the odds but with many successes along the way – come hear and marvel at the story of how it was done.

Half time at the football – the breaking news on all things that are AFL podcasts. Our melancholy duty is to inform you that our brother-in-arms “Schammertime” has been stretchered off with significant soft tissue injuries and will not be returning to the www waves until further notice. BUT as often in life itself, when one door closes another seems to open, only this week we have discovered another that a new AFL podcast had emerged from its chrysalis. Produced by the crew of THE FOOTY ALAMANC, a bunch of east coast sports scribes, who, having been given a condenser microphone and external sound-card for Christmas, have now reached the pod-o-sphere – we welcome them.

3rd Quarter – “The Fan Belt” with Professor Pollyanna a Docker from Canada who grew-up playing ice-hockey in the tundra 

Check out this week’s “FAN BELT” with Professor Pollyanna (the one and only high-profile Dockerland regular), who happens to be the most AFL knowledgeable Canadian in Western Australia, as he talks about his love for AFL and all of the purple passion pollyannas from NORTH AMERICA.

4th Quarter – “The Cross-Town Smear” – hear hear, this week’s smear! 

Join the lampooning popularity of the “THE CROSS-TOWN SMEAR”, listen to the professors of smear-o-logy dissect the rampant inequities of Perth’s two rivalrous football teams. Turn it up and recoil faster than a political favour pinned to a bottle of $3,000 1959 Grange as this week’s Eagles’ tribute song – “Cherry Pie” by Warrant – hits your auditory senses – a sure hit for every blue and yellow betrothal.

The Final Siren – are we safe at home versus the Roos?

Due to forgetfulness we start with Round 5 votes in the Purple Heart Award, these went to Matthew Pavlich, Lachie Neale, Matthew Pavlich, Matthew Pavlich. Then we review the Round 6 clash with the Roos. We’ve called it 4-0 to the Dockers by anywhere between 2-7 goals as the combination of a home ground fixture and the rebound factor give us more than enough for the middling Roos – and when are they going to move to the TRUE NORTH – DARWIN – there’s plenty of wallaby fans there!

From the chair, Dr Sean “MCG” Gorman  analyses the great win over the Bombers and the Purple Heart points go to Johnson, McPharlin, McPharlin and  Sandilands.

Quarter-time break – A big shout-out to the Schammertime boys

A quick big shout out to our brothers at the Schammertime (and the livin’ is easy), with an invite to go pod-to-pod at some time in the future for a crackin’ discussion on all things Dockers – hope you get your show back on the air soon.

2nd Quarter – “The Crack” with special guest the Honourable Des Hedland

The irrepressible Des Hedland joins the Purple Circus to tell us how life is as the assistant coach for Claremont WAFL 2014, being a member of the Palmer United Party (Clive is well versed in AFL), a former Grand Final player for Brisbane and a member of the Dockers’ “magnificent seven” and plenty more.

3rd Quarter – “The Fan Belt” with Connor a Docker living in Bangkok 

This week’s pick of the FAN BELT is Connor from Bangkok – hear what you have to do to follow the Dockers in an overseas capital and how the Docker jumper is gaining recognition in Bangkok thanks to this intrepid traveller’s good work.

4th Quarter – “The Cross-Town Smear” – hear hear, this week’s smear 

A lunar eclipse brings with it a great polarity that was truly reflected in the Dockers powerful win over the Bombers versus the Eagles surprising and comprehensive drubbing by the Cats.  That low tide sure lets us see just who is swimming in the nude.

The Final Siren

Another danger game, this it is against the Swans in Sydney. Watch out for Buddy? The Purple Circus team is confident the Dockers will win this one as arguably Sydney is yet to remove the sutures from the 2013 semi-final.

Dr Sean “MCG” Gorman  takes the chair to help dress the wounds of a voodoo like thrashing from the Hawks. In such a testing game it may be telling that our four presenters awarded their Purple Heart points to Hill, Hill, de Boer and Pavlich.

Hear first-hand, the story of last week’s shock-wave from the reigning premiers

HALF TIME AT THE FOOTBALL  – “The Matt Price Purple Heart” – Sean Murphy (Part One)

Here is the first instalment of a new segment honouring the late Matt Price.  We are joined by Sean Murphy who played footy with Matt at school in the Subiaco district competition.  We hear about Matt being a tough and imposing full back; and although Sean didn’t share Price’s purple passion, its easy to see they shared the love of a cracking contest, a great respect for the game and a mutual coldness for the mob down the road.

3rd Quarter – “The Fan Belt” with Nadia Mitsopoulos 

This week’s pick of the FAN BELT is Nadia Mitsopoulos – hear the story about her conversion from the round-ball game to follow the Dockers with a gutsy passion. Check her ABC media profile – http://www.abc.net.au/profiles/content/s3395109.htm

4th Quarter – “The Cross-Town Smear” 

Hear here, this week’s smear.  Hyperbole in the news, what do you get when you pour yourself a glass of “schadenfreude” – does the mob down the road have an easier set of 2014 fixtures?

The Final Siren

The Bombers are coming, will Freo stand-up for Fremantle? The crew have picked 3-1 for Freo – we hope for the best.

Alsy steps up to the chairman’s chair and we all count the cost of the strong win over GCS, three out including Fyfe and Barlow. The Matt Price Purple Heart points awarded to Sandilands, Mundy, Crowley and Barlow. Listen to us canvass the head clash rule and sweat the anticipation of next week’s grand final replay against the Hawks.

2nd Quarter – “The Crack” with special guest Gerard Neesham

This week’s pick of the FAN BELT is Frank from Leederville, now living a stone’s throw from Paterson’s Stadium, he shares his insights into his Dockers’ passion and loyalty and how he helps parking inspectors make extra bookings for eagles fans – we love his work.

4th Quarter – “The Cross-Town Smear” the WA Senate Election – how to vote Dockers!

The Circus moves to vaudeville as it dissects the longest most varied senate ticket in the history of WA voting – 50 shades of shyster!

The Final Siren

Such a big game against the Hawks this week  – listen as the Circus digs deep to pick the winning margin  – the heart says yes but the head says this time no! – but we hope for the best.

1st Quarter – “The Bounce Down” check the big news of the week

4th Quarter – “The Cross-Town Smear” Slogans for Bogans

Did West Coast invent the annual march of the crippled slogan?

The Final Siren

The Purple Circus find their second wind to tackle section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act, Vladimir Putin and the Crimean annexe and, of course, this week’s game against the Gold Coast Suns.

TFR the sound man at work

1st Quarter – “The Bounce Down” including special guest Finn from Fitzroy [13min 31sec]

With the wind at our backs, after such a marvellous mincing of the Pies, the ball is bounced and we kick off the second episode of The Purple Circus. This week we confirm our first round votes for the Purple Heart Medallion and are joined by “Finn from Fitzroy” – the Docker in exile – who witnessed last week’s beautiful game at Etihad Stadium.

2nd Quarter – “The Crack” with Les Everett [13min 56sec]

Join us with the week’s guest – the honourable, erudite and all knowing Les Everett (the official Docker historian) as he talks us through the angles on what was really going-on during the big first round demolition of the Pies . After that, we range somewhat freely with some breaking news on Les’ recently completed treatise on the “History of the Dockers (Volume One)”; think a warts and all look at guts, determination and management decisions PLUS the Game of Thrones all rolled into one!

3rd Quarter – “The Fan Belt” with Jack Price [13min 21sec]

This week’s pick of the FAN BELT is the talented Mr Jack Price (all the way from Kalamunda). Listen in as he shares the joy of being a purple prophet from age 6, how to find the best lamb roll on the Nullarbor and the total euphoria and sadness of witnessing the 2013 Grand Final (replete with the mandatory consolatory brewskies with none other than a bunch of respectful hawk fans).

4th Quarter – “The Cross-Town Smear” [8min 29sec]

This week’s theme: “THE BEARD”. Why-Why-Why? – Hear about the rationale, the attempt at fashion (against the tide of history) and the complete existential pointlessness of the unprecedented beard plague that sunk the West Coast’s 2013 season; and, as usual, we finish with the week’s tipping and then a big shout out to all our fans and to the SCHAMMERTIME (another Docker Pod – GPS suggests possibly recorded in North Kardinya) – hope to hear from you soon for a POD-to-POD experience!

The season started with a nonchalant but brisk bounce-down.  The sound team solved “Cable-Gate” and the siren squelched – and so let the games begin. [Download, 2.4MB]

What’s wrong with Collingwood (includes this week’s tipping for the last 2min 10sec)
The Circus stick their incisive canines in to the Pies: Why do the Pies elicit such strong feelings? Is it their over abundant sense of entitlement that makes them the enemy? Tall poppies or very spoilt dung beetles? Finishes with Aidan, Alsy, Jeff and Sean tipping the Round 1 result. [Download, 16.7MB]
