Identification of a Aussie footy player[edit]

Hi, Can anyone identify the player running with Collingwood's Levi Greenwood in this picture?

The picture was taken at an open training session on 12 December 2014.

@The-Pope: @JackETC: maybe you guys have an idea

Thanks,

I asked for help from Collingwood fans on twitter, and Oxley was their answer too. The first photo on this page seems to look like the runner. The-Pope (talk) 12:49, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. Thanks guys. Fixing it up now. --SuperJew (talk) 13:09, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, User:SuperJew. Can I suggest that you crop it into two separate photos and use each isolated photo, rather than the pair, on each player's page. The pair photo might be suitable for 2015 Collingwood Football Club season or similar. The-Pope (talk) 13:38, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I was considering that (even just for Greenwood originally), but my default photo editing program was making problems. I'll try to do it when I have some more time. Or maybe someone else will beat me to the punch? --SuperJew (talk) 13:43, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done :D cropped for Greenwood and uploaded another pic for Oxley. --SuperJew (talk) 18:01, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Looking for an 80s dramedy/comedy[edit]

I'm looking for an 80s dramedy/comedy. For a long time, I thought it'd be Arthur (1981), but now that I'm watching it, it's not the one.

The main character of the film I'm looking for also seems to be either a childish millionaire, or really a millionaire kid. Digging deep in the back of my memory, he had the name Eric and had a black adult servant and confidant. I dimly remember a funny scene where the black servant was locked out of the Penthouse, running around on the lawn while trying not to get wet by the many sprinklers and calling, "Eric! Eric!" for his master to let him back in. --2003:48:2E4C:B175:11DD:8C1B:A072:CC9A (talk) 03:39, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

From your description I am pretty sure that you are remembering The Toy (1982 film). MarnetteD|Talk 04:00, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot! :) I'll check it out to see if that's the one. --2003:48:2E4C:B175:11DD:8C1B:A072:CC9A (talk) 05:59, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that The Toy is most likely, but Carbon Copy is a 1981 film that features a millionaire (George Segal) and a black millionaire's kid (Denzel Washington). StuRat (talk) 03:10, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
