Hears a challenge for football folks: imagine Kevin 07 says here we go, make a story about Australian football’s history, and the lead part is the Johnny Warren character. The movie will close with Australia off to South Africa.
Now, who plays Warren, who plays Les Murray, and who plays Frank Lowy. What do you include, who could you not leave out?
For me, choosing the actor to play Warren is critical. Peter Wilson cannot be left out, nor can Kool.
My actor for Warren would be Tom Cruise: similar height and loves football/
Over to the panel.
Recommend this story.

I think JON can act … maybe we should ask some of the Union bloggers to offer a suggestion if JON should play himself or we get an actor in.

Guus can be played by Arnold Schwarzenegger
Pim can be done by Dolph Ludgren (i.e. a wannabe Arnie)
Hugh Jackman can play Johnny Warren in his playing days, and maybe through to the end
Cate Blanchett can do Kossie (she can act pretty much anyone I figure, and he’s a bit of a girls blouse anyway)… actually come to think of it she can do 2 roles for that reason and have Farina too.
Steve Buscemi can play Mark Bosnich
Darryl Summers with some talcum powder in his hair can do Les Murray; he can also do 2 roles with little to change and take on Terry Venables as a cameo
Phillip Seymour Hoffman for John O’Neill
Danny Green can debut his acting career to cover the role of Robbie Slater
Gwyneth Paltrow in Oscar speech mode (ie tons of waterworks) can do Tony Vidmar
Mel Gibson with his Braveheart wig on can do Craig Johnston
… there’s more of course but that’s a decent start…

Well done Danny Green for Robbie and Cate for Kossie & Cranky Frankie good calls… but Craig Johnston yes he is worth a part not sure about Viddy.
Papa still need your input

Aurelio Vidmar would certainly be done by Hughesy after “that” outburst…
For Lowy I think we need someone regal, imperial… can we do a frankenstein and resurrect Charlton Heston just for this one last role?
Oh oh oh … and Graham Arnold can be played by Will Farrell

To play Pim, I was thinking that bald guy from Californication. Just stick a wig on him.
