Thread: Ronnie Coleman Australian Tour '09:

Well done everyone in the u70's it's a huge effort to get down to that weight, trust me i know.....about time there was more than just a couple in the line -up. Keep it up you lightweights! i promise I wont be back next year except to judge.

I didn't make it...
My best mate ended up having a bbq for his birthday down here instead of organising the trip to the shire... Not to worry, Bit disappointing but i'll live...

Congrats to mino and xtremist, sounds like it was a great day...

Neil, congratulations on 1st place!
I thought i had seen one of the, if not THE best Neil Gardner's during the pre-judging and then the final's was just another level of density and condition!!
Unbeleivable.

Great to catch up with you MO. As I said your the only person to call me Mr Chan,errr sorry Mr Tan.
It's a full on weekend for me, I'm glad I'm home now to have a rest.
I reckon after the weigh in & Neil carbed up fully he would have been close to 75 kg's+.
Great weekend, good experience for everybody.
Well done Mino.

First of all congratz Mino for doing it again and looking better than last year. Better conditioning, better tanning (and I'm not saying this just because TanMan is a member here:) and also a much better posing routine than last year. Great to see you even got called out for comparisons. Also a big thank you for helping me with packing up.

MO, once again great to see you along with gf and thanks heaps with the help. Also thanks for putting up with me for dinner. Even my 15 yo cousin told me I talked too much. The thing is, some of you may know and some may not something has gone wrong recently with me and my dentist. I had to have quite a few teeth replaced and then everyone noticed I started speaking a lot more than I did before. I went for a check up to see what's causing it and the dentist told me he stuffed up and when he replaced my teeth...these were his words: "Sorry Julian but before the teeth replacement you had man teeth and now I made a mistake and have given you women teeth." So that my friends is the reason I was talking so much.

Thanks TD for the great plug, thanks TanMan for the short conversation which I thoroughly enjoyed. TanMan always makes me smile but he is also a bit of a philosopher and he has quite a few principles I also adhere to.

Great show and I was wrapped to be the major sponsor at such a great show and again I could not have done this without the support of my clients.

One thing that was not mentioned but I'll blow my trumpet again is Mino and the gf had VIP seats. I was also wrapped to see one of my friends win his class in phenomenal condition His name is Victor Dimitryev and he won the under 100kg. Here he is in the photos below.

From the atmosphere to the sell out crowd to the top quality of the competitors and all the way to the people i caught up with,

- ProtienDirect
- Mr. Chan..i mean Mr. Tan
- Mino
- Anthony
- Outlaw
- X-tremist

Missed out on a hello with Messiah. The 2 seconds inbetween your work yesterday was hard to find when ever i was near but top interview you did with Ronnie and his wife and on MC as always.

Scott, T2 and C_T...where were you 3 hiding?

Ron exceeded my expectations! Man that guy could fine tune his condition just that touch more and step on stage and be competitive right now! I never thought he would be looking as good as he did yesterday and it seems every week he is getting closer and closer to his old self. I smell comp plans coming sooner than the 2010 Olympia.
During his interview with Messiah/Tony Doherty, he left us all with a "maybe" in competing at the Aussie Pro 2010.

It was also good fun hanging with his cousin Marcus at times during the show. His laugh and character is that of a true Coleman family member. Funny bastard during Ron's interview with Tony Doherty, lol.

I was proud of both Mino and x-tremist. I'm not just saying this to make their placings seem better, but both line-up's (well actually ALL line up's that day) were bloody tough.
Although Mino does not exactly know what he placed as they were only doing top 3's yesterday, i can tell you going by the call out's that he was next in 4th.
X-tremist, i told him to stop training his leg's for about a month lol. Those things will give Ron a run for his money, lol. His leg training was apparently the stationary bike only and they still put on size! Your close 2nd place was a tough one.
Congratulations to both of you.

Was good also to spot a TV star in the audience from the TV show, All Saints on ch. 7.
Andrew Supanz plays the doctor, 'Bart' on the tv show. Chatted for a while about next episode (last episode ever on tv) and his future plans after the show.

Sizzler was awesome! Mino was possesed by some carb eating devil and PD is just the best entertainment to be around. Can't wait to catch up with hi in Melbourne again.

Oh, the Ronnie line to get an autographed photo!! Holy crap!
If you will beleive this - from the start of the show all the way to the end, actually even after the show had finished, Ron was there siging pictures! That's from around 1pm to 5:30-6pm non-stop and i mean NON-STOP sitting there signing autographs! At all times there was a line that lead out of the room! Just crazy popular that guy and in my opinion even more so than his last visit winning his Mr. O title for the 8th time!? Go figure!

I've missed so much more but that'll do for now.
Good catching up with everyone and an unbelievable show that kept me awake all day despite my 1 hour sleep the night before!

Pic with Ron:

Forgot to mention Bianca_fit also.
Where about's were you three?

Bummer, Scottie. You missed a massive one.

Also forgot to mention in my write up of my day, Luke Wood announcing an official retirement. Will start a Luke Wood thread...

t2 couldnt make it due to some circumstances,pity,theres always next time,

so where was c_t and bianca?

I made it, was a great show. Sorry i left before saying hi, had to go.

I know this is a very late question, but I just remembered BigTim was meant to be at the QLD show but I don't think he was there. Were you there BigTim?

Victor Dimitryev has some great thigh separation.
C'mon guys please post some more pics - would like to checkout the quality of the competitors.

any other pics pd?hint hint

The most enjoyable part for me in VIC was the awesome routine by (I forgot his name) but included songs 'boom boom pow' and he did the robot and so on.. That was an amazing routine. He did it at CC I think.

Rajah, you really did miss the best lineups and routines. A lot of laughs with it aswell.
