I predicted this loss when the fixture came out and had not changed my view.

On the way to the game we were discussing what could happen and it did.

Then to hear Roos say some players were tired, in round 2,  is just the biggest cop out of all time.

Show some character and say we coached terribly and the players played the same.

I am more angry at yesterday than 186.

We have dumb coaches and dumb and lazy footballers.

The sun has risen, another glorious day. Think I might go for a walk, clear my mind of Stuie's withdrawn offer of beer at the Cricketers and enjoy life.

There was no offer. If you think Demonland resembles anything at all to do with the real world then I would not come back from the walk champ.

Don't be like that stuie. If your feelings are hurt because I rejected the offer to meet up for a beer, then I sincerely apologise. Your defensiveness is understandable, but the rudeness is unbecoming a man of your high standing on this forum.

Cliches as always.

Offered you a truce because I'm sick of the rubbish on here.

Says a lot that you were too "internet cool" for it. Jog on parrot, not interested in your web battles.

 

I know a lot of old bastards post here so I'm looking for some info. Is it still possible to buy old style desert boots? ( Brothel creepers in some circles) Poor old Uncle Bitter is a tad footsore of late and I used to find these rather comfortable. I don't think they'll clash with estate moleskins and Drizabone - I'm going for a more macho look (sans designer stubble of course) at the moment.

I have several worn pairs, the downside (or possibly upside for you BBO) is they each potentially have urine, blood and arabic sand in and on them. If you purchase today I can also throw in some socks, do you have fabric softener? 

Good to see you're now a regular poster on this fine thread stuie

That is a hammering for us, OD ... 

Just a hiccup on the road to ten wins R and B.

We believed our own BS and got caught out.

I have one Criticism from Saturday well two actually.

Dunn is always in our side if Fit and The Prince is passed it. The game has passed him by.

We won't win next week never thought we would the trick will be to go into the game with intent something we did not do on Saturday.

That way we can make a game of it.

I always knew you were a decent chap Ethan. Rather than being tawdry and mentioning cash I propose an exchange. I have some wonderfully stained undergarments that may be to your taste and would more than compensate for the loss of the brothel creepers.

Should someone warn BBO Ethan about shonky online traders?

In order to allay any concerns you have Doctor, feel free to scrutinise my undergarments for authenticity.

Are you saying that you are unhappy with products you have purchased from our Uncle Bitter?

Questionable business practices are more the domain of the esteemed Biffen.

The original Brothel creepers are still produced by Rossiters.

Most reputable footwear retailers will stock them or be able to source them for you.

At the risk of being embroiled in "questionable business practices"

I have size 5 and 6 in black @ $147.00 and a range of Slatters Ripples in Stone (a light beige) @$99

but would require a fitting at the shop in Beechworth.

If you wanted to expand your wine tasting experiences and retreat to Beechworth would be happy to meet.

We are remote enough from Melbourne that the bitter sting of defeat by Essendon can be diluted.

As long as they would fit a male with waist size of around 34, you have a deal. 

After that effort on Saturday, perhaps discussion on under garments and desert boots will put my mind at rest.

I wore desert boots to school back in the time. Comfortable and they were pretty handy kicking the footy after being worn in. 

The Desert Boot

Standard issue for any kid in the 1970's

2 Types, one made by Clark's which i prefered or the "Pasties"

everyone had 'em. Very comfortable and hard wearing...

Made in Australia...!
