Unfortunately Maple I will be away this austere weekend renewing my spiritual roots and restoring my tarnished faith. Bless. Thus, I will leave the beer soaked, politically incorrect abuse throwing at the G to Bitters and Biffen for now. 

You are headed for Jerusalem Moons? The Stations of the Cross next Friday?

    I'd imagine Shiel, Griffen, Ward, Smith, Coniglio if fit, Greene, Kelly, Whitfield, Palmer, Hoskin-Elliott are the main guys. They may throw in a high salaried, ordinary footballer, just to get the Dees fans going, if they have some injuries.

    Now. A polite warning. Skirting with peril Red as we make NO mention of certain ones ;)

    Well good evening one and all. As usual today finds your Uncle Bitter in a positive mood and fine spirits. I hope you all are as satisfied with the world as myself. I had a very uplifting morning at the Romsey Bible reading class ( The Lads booked me in) and I must say I feel cleansed and renewed!

    I must add though, that, as an upright citizen of this fine board, I am surprised that some of my recent well meaning and informative posts have been either deleted or censored!!

    Apparently there are Philistines and vandals among our fair number.

    such desecration of your artistic treasures reminds me of what isis did to palmyra, bbo

    i wonder if you might be able to retrieve them from the way-back machine on the web. they should be preserved for posterity

    on the other hand, they were a bit of tosh if one was sober

    I am afraid that the world is driving me to an existence where one is rarely sober.

    Bitters, the finer styling and intricate musings of your posts are lost upon many in authority on this forum, (perhaps Dr Dick Hopping excluded). You might put yourself forward as a voluntary mod supervisor, another community service to add to your long list.

    Moonie, I assume you are aware of the relationship between the words moderator and moderation.

    I raise this not because of any concern that Uncle Bitters might be considered too immoderate in his many (ahem) tastes and behaviours but for the very opposite reason: to identify the possibility – fear, I suppose – that he might end up abandoning his immoderations altogether.

    Do you really want that sort of future for Demonland?

    Good Doctor I see your point but I think you might be overestimating Bitter's ability to moderate to any real effect. Mostly he'd be correcting poor English and encouraging jolly good floggings. He is never moderate.

    i agree. spare the rod and spoil the brat. bitters is obviously in denial of his immoderations

    I'd say something about BBO never sparing his rod but that pocketbook Freudian, Moonie would take it the wrong way.

    A question of whether I'm overestimating or you're underestimating, Mr Shadow. Of course I'd like to think Uncle Bitters would confine himself to the techniques of correction he's familiar with, but I can't help but worry that one way or another he'll get ahead of himself. Then there'd be two of him, a situation surely to be feared.

    While many appear to be having their bit of fun at their Uncle's expense I have been (fruitlessly) trying to track down Biffen - the most immoderate of all.

    I allowed him to borrow some ..err ..specialist equipment of mine which has not been returned as agreed. He has subsequently boldly informed all that he attended a teenagers birthday party.

    Now put those two facts together and you can see the urgency of my search.

    Please have him contact me immediately.

    BTW. Who is attending on Saturday?

    Why would you do this in the first place?

    You must either be a very, very rich man or you already have a substantial reserve of disinfectant.

    Incorrect Choke! I am simply an overgenerous soul who just goes out of his way to help others out but is often taken advantage of.

    PS. Yes I am very rich but I am quite modest about having a lavish property and driving a simple Merc.

    Thanks Uncle Bitter.

    Your navigation is a wee bit off. You went kind of askew after the Ca. Been enjoying a bit of that hollistic fruit juice again?

    I'll be attending the game. After all it is part of my annual ritual to see how far away I am from the ground before I spot your outlandish attire.

    By the by, what should I be looking out for on Saturday?

    Uncle Bitter, I found a present for you and the lads! It is a 1.2 metre tall inflatable J. Hogan doll. Tried to attach a pic but the file was too big

    Well I don't want to disclose my choice of outfit as there are petty souls out there who will rush of to imitate me.

    However, dare  I ask Mable  Mable ,will you be wearing traditional Cameroonian attire? It is rather fetching I must say!

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
