Those figures are spot on. No one makes $12K for a sportsman's night. No one. It defeats the purpose of the night - to make money for the club. The poster who quoted the original figure is either a complete fool, or a misguided one. Either way...

Yes that is true, but Helliar may have over quoted.
You know those jobs that you just can't be ****ed doing, so you say a ridiculously high price, you know they'll say no, but if they agree you make a killing.
Helliar may have thought I can't be ****ed, but don't want to look like a prick saying no.

Thanks Pete, whatever you reckon
Hellier can be funny, Straughnie was funny the first 10 times but is now just annoying and try hard!

Whenever he is on Rove live I go and make myself a hot chocolate so that I don't have to listen to his shit. He isn't funny at all.

yes.
In light of this I missed your threads questioning why Peter Rowsthorn was out there as well. Is he funny enough for you to be out there despite not being an ex-afl player?
I think you've changed your tune a little here.

Can't remember mentioning Peter Rowsthorn - my query is why it is marketed as a legends game and non legends play - and I also queried whether Helliar was meant to be funny as an aside to the main query as to why the fat karnt was playing the other night in a legends game...
Thats my point. You started the thread saying you didn't think that Peter Hellier is funny and now you're saying you started it because he shouldn't of been playing (because he's not an ex afl player). Either is Peter Rowsthorn but you're not having a go at him.
Why does it bother you so much anyway when they are just doing it for charity? If he gets a few extra people there (he clearly was entertaining to a large number of people in the crowd) who cares?

Somebody feeling a little bit down today and finding somthing to pick at?
many people do find him funny and that is why he played. Fair enough your opinion you probably dont like him but lots of people do so get over it
Wow, some people like him, some don't.
Hold the ****ing press!!

I may not like peter heliar but I think his involvement in the EJ game was a great idea. This game is a chance for people who chronically make a goose of themselves on telivision to outdo themselves. Capper in pink and Newman as ump should testify to that(happened in previous years).
I mean if they let a little girl play...whats wrong with heliar? This is a game that was not meant to be taken seriously
frankly I would have liked to see straughnie up against someone who would have taken joy in humiliating him. For example if they played daryl white(was he playing for the all stars?) he would have torn Straughnie a new one, probably racked up over 30 possies deep in defense.

good point? I've chuckled at John Howard, Alf from home & away and even Trevor Maramalade. But i don't find any of them overall to be remotely funny. Peter Helliar seems like a good bloke you'd have a laugh with on a night out, but as a comedian, he stinks

He's right down there with that ****head who pretended to be a Greek Fruiterer some years back.
But that's what makes him funny!
Not many people who do "lame" as their schtick can get away with it...
he does it damn well I feel...
Makes me laugh anyways...

at least Molloy was once funny. When he was on the late show in the early 90's.
Helliar is just a embarrassing knob

people take him to seriously
and people say that some of his jokes are lame, thats why there funny.
eg: strauchnie walked around the lexus centre, and held out picutres of the shaws and said to martin clarke " to be sure to be sure"
i mean thats funny because its so lame, and this strauchnie character is funny becuase he talks him self up so much, yet dosnt deliver.
people need to stop being so serious and relax
