It started in Rose Bay at a little kiosk… the waiter delivered an iphone with a video on it.

And the result?

Fansformation Series Two - Now Casting!!

Are YOU the ultimate Melbourne Victory fan?

Last year 3 Sydney FC fans were given the challenge - 6 weeks to convert a non-fan. Here’s the promo from Series One

This year it’s Melbourne’s turn!

We are looking for guys or girls who live and breath football, who are willing to share their passion with the world. Two true lovers of the game (fanatics!) will be filmed over a 6-week period during this season’s Hyundai A-League.

Are you obsessive, expressive with a good sense of humour? Would your mates describe you as a football freak?

If you think you have what it takes, pitch yourself by creating and uploading a video at www.melbournevictory.com.au/fansformation

Series One was big, with the guys meeting Beckham and being the half-time entertainment at the Galaxy Game.

Series Two will be even bigger….

Game on!

Research for the presentation and the film has commenced.

Our new offices in Redfern.
We have gutted the whole space. Stripped it back. Painted it white. Removed the air conditioners. The idea behind this is to start from scratch. Like any brilliant idea, we will slowly build and create and decorate… we want this to be an organic creative process that includes all of TCO. In a way we are starting from scratch and looking to the future for bigger and better things. More shortly.

Ooh. Look at us! We’ve gone all Change Agent-ish! TCO has embarked on a year-long research journey with the Global Poverty Project - headed up by long time TCO love Hugh Evans. GPP gets officially launched at UN HQ in New York later today and has already gained world wide recognition (see below). In addition to bags of research we are also going to be making an awesome presentation and feature length film out of the whole business! Think - An Inconvenient Truth with Paul Hogan’s accent… but better.
The thing that makes us so freaken warm inside is the speed in which this is happening! Over achievers like Hugh and Simon Moss make all of us feel uber lazer.
Keep your eyes peeled for the trailer which we will put up in the next few days - You can learn all about this amazing initiative that we are so damned proud to be a part of!!!!

Check out the directors cut of the Sydney Film Festival trailer for 2008. Damo (who directed) said quote: “Don’t mention my name man… don’t do it man…!” We promptly responded by assuring Damo that his name; Damo, would not be used on the website. Damo. Damo. Damo. Well done mate, we are all very proud of you. Damo.

Doogs Westwood aka Doog-Diddy-West-Whizzy has had a hard week. That’s to be expected when a three month date with The Body comes to an abrupt halt. “I always new this day would come…” says Westwood “I just didn’t know it would come so soon and be so painful”.
For the past three and a half months Doogs has been responsible for the weighty task of digitising box loads of Elle McPherson content. The task sparked controversy in and around the office as one could only assume that the Big Kahuna was indeed playing favourites. When asked to reflect on his emotions after losing the subject of his three month love affair Doogs simply replies “I feel empty Dave… I feel empty”.
