Sans skin? What's the local custom Biffen?

A gentleman never tells Moon.

But they were advertised as something else.

A not so wise Asian lady once told me to be careful over there.

I"Ve bought a few of each I suppose so it evens out.

Had lunch with Biffen today. It's apparently good for the soul to mix with people from the more dubious social strata.

Anyway Biffen chose the location and again it was a dingy little inn in some god forsaken backwater. Well the food!!

It came either drowned in tomato sauce or needed to be, to mask the underlying "taste"

Biffen, to demonstrate the sophistication gained from his recent Asian jaunt, created a scene. He demanded sweet chilli sauce Not only that but it had to be "Kan tong" or some such because that is "orthentic"

FMD ! How humiliating!

I thought it was unnecessary giving someone from Romsey a knife and fork but I was proud of the way you muddled through and tied not to make a mess.

If your hygiene continues to show improvement we may be able to take you somewhere civilised people eat and drink,as long as you promise to keep the food in your area.

Alrhough most of your lunch ended up in your overalls,you at least managed not to sexually harass the staff.

I think the Smith Curse is still with us. 

Has any other club lost their most important player? Does any other club have the injury list we have? We lose a game we dominate with poor kicking while the other side can't miss. Similar the next week where we lose by a couple of points after leading with 2 minutes to go and gifting the last goal. Our players get the heaviest suspensions which cost one or both games lost. Ollie continues to dominate. Our so called stars are not starring. Injured players play against us and dominate. Gus injured again.

Etc.

Ok, but I am partial to those brown crackers with the raisins/sultanas. Also no Brazil nuts as not my taste.

Our most optimistic year for over a decade, well for some anyway. 

Cool vent Red. Way to go.

What is this football related rant doing on this thread? Where are the moderators? 

However it is a fair comment, but my reply is we have reverted to our normal state over the past 20 years. Last year was an anomaly for so few injuries, our norm for as long as I can remember is 10 to 12 on the injury list with 4 or 5 of those being in the best 24. That is our lot I am afraid, unlike the Dorks, the Cats over the past 10 years.

Sounds a bit like doggies last year.

They kept plugging away got stronger and found a way to win.

We had so many good players but they were exhausted in the last, fumbles, lack of run poor decisions.

some of the poorer performers need to have a good hard look and lift or go back to Casey. Hogan perhaps performs better around the ground where he certainly creates a contest.While he is great one on one he can't match double and triple teams

Pedo Bugg Trengove all have experience at AFL level and could step in and up.

i reckon Jack Watts is showing his class, others should lift just through his presence.

We just have to look really hard at the Dons and beat them next week.

Well, the Smith curse bit might be right. Joel Smith gets a serious injury 15 minutes into his AFL debut, and Tim Smith gets a bad knee 1.5 matches into his career. All we need now is a banana shortage, and we can conclude we are cursed ... :)

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
