Silvester Iolo LeKoupa Presents...
A Silk Feature...
A Silkwork Production...
FADE IN:
VOICEOVER:
Every now and again, Fate deals the unfortunate one last hand...
[cue Rocky music]
"SHAWRY"
VOICEOVER:
After the majority of the Essendon Coaching Staff are wiped out in a freakish windsock accident, Fate has decided to step in...
INT. ESSENDON PRESIDENT'S OFFICE
Graeme McMahon and Tony Shaw.
MCMAHON:
Tony, do you believe Essendon's the Club of opportunity? I do, and I'm going to prove it to you by making you the new Senior Coach!
SHAW:
(in astonishment)
What would I have to do?
MCMAHON:
Do you know everything you did at Collingwood?
SHAW:
(nods)
What about it?
MCMAHON:
Well we'll have none of that here!
VOICEOVER:
And despite adversity, despite the critics....
INT. SPORT'S STUDIO
SPORTCASTER:
Essendon were already on the slide and you'd have to wonder what this street-coach, Tony Shaw, can manage to do after ingloriously leading Collingwood to a Wooden Spoon?
VOICEOVER:
(continued)
...one man will decide he's had enough.
TONY SHAW PRESS CONFERENCE
Tony Shaw standing in front of a mass of microphones.
TONY SHAW:
Well, the results might not have been there, but the boys had a dip, and in the end, you know,
(grins)
I did lure Josh Fraser to Collingwood. That was all my doing.
VOICEOVER:
One man will decide to face the tides of fortune, to face-down the ignominy of his coaching-past, and to make amends.
INT. TONY SHAW'S OFFICE
Tony Shaw on the phone.
TONY SHAW:
Hello, Ricky Oh? Fancy a comeback?
(listens to the answer)
Well I've just traded James Hird down to Collingwood for a microwave oven I used to fancy. Get yourself down here. We need ourselves a Captain and, more importantly, a leader.
VOICEOVER:
And despite the setbacks...
EXT. MCG - ESTABLISHING
Carlton defeating Essendon easily, the Essendon Team walking on in disappointment.
INT. EXECUTIVE BOX - CONTINUOUS
John Elliott standing in front of a mass of microphones.
JOHN ELLIOTT:
It's just absurd, if not catastrophic. The man's a down and out battler. McMahon must have lost what little mind he had remaining to make Shawry the Senior Coach at Essendon.
(grins viciously)
But all the better for us!
VOICEOVER:
(continued)
...despite the knocks, some times, just some times, fairytales can come true.
EXT. GRAND FINAL PARADE
Essendon Players riding on cars, Tony Shaw and Ricky Oh at their front.
EXT. MCG - GRAND FINAL DAY
The two Ruckmen going up for the center-bounce.
INT. ESSENDON COACHING BOX - CONTINUOUS
Tony Shaw leaping to his feet.
FREEZE FRAME.
VOICEOVER:
"SHAWRY" - Coming Soon to a Cinema near you.
