It seems no-one noticed the passing of NTSNBS's 10th birthday on 8 July. Belated congratulations to you then, Thread, to your single parent @Redleg, and to all who have sailed in you (me being only a very green rating).

Granted, as @old dee'sย orphan post on the day glumly reflected, it was the week after the season-ending (๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚) Giant's loss, so there might have been other things on the Good Ship NTSNBS's collective mind...

Tim you seem a touch confused. The unmentionableโ€™s name is not the name of the thread, but only part of it, abbreviated by first letters only. So his name is not No T$ No BS but rather part of the thread title only. Hope that clears it up for you.

Secondly why are you talking about him, as he doesnโ€™t exist on here.

Third, keep enjoying the thread and post on all matters non T$ or non BS, as is the mantra of the thousands of fellow contributors.

Fourth, be nice to uncle Bitters, as he might invite you around to the manor for a tipple, from his latest wine cask, purchased from the local $2 shop, on one of their half price special sale days. You can get a lovely drop for a dollar these days.

Gosh, Redleg, I thought I'd at least have to reach junior officer level for such an invitation!

No confusion at all - though I realise my naming of the Valiant Vessel should have been NT$NBS. My reference, and congratulations, to 'Thread' was to (The) NT$NBS - i.e.ย No T$ย No BSย - thread, definitely not, in any way to the individual WSNBN. But, a 'mea culpa' if (as the mealy-mouthed contrite like to say these days) 'anyone has been offended'.

Onwards across the seven seas!

Red, I am deeply wounded.

After all my years of valuable and profound intellectual contributions to this thread you still misrepresent my tastes in vino.

I hereby declare and ย caste aside all doubts, Chateau Cardboard has no place in The Manor's fine collection of plonk.

Ahoy there Tim! Iโ€™m most definitely a stowaway on the good ship HMAS NT$NBS. Iโ€™m actually lucky I wasnโ€™t keelhauled for mentioning the unmentionable. I was, however, thrown in the brig for 24 hours. I have learned the error of my ways and am suitably repentant. Captain Redleg need not ever worry about a mutiny or anything of the sort.ย

well maybe just a little one, of sorts, now and again. just to keep us reinvigorated

and according to moonie, uncle's taste in wine leaves a lot to be desired, as does his taste in mutton

Now I find out that HWSNBN, thinks he is a cricket umpire as well and once called our beloved Captain Maxie for chucking.

How dare he suggest that Maxie would bend the arm when bowling.

sorry to hear that. a number of friends had the same experience but the good news is that it only lasted about 24 hours, so here's hoping the same for you

Hello!

Don't think I've ever posted here. Just want to congratulate Redleg on their 10+ year thread after reading the OG post.

I was done yesterday. Is insomnia a symptom? It's after midnight and I've been able to stay awake watching R23 from 7 minutes to go in the 3rd.

Looking forward to symptoms extending into tomorrow night...

Interesting use of the word โ€˜casteโ€™ there, Bitter. So do you mean cast aside, as in put aside? Or is there a deeper meaning just lacking a couple of commas. Ie, โ€˜I hereby declare and, caste aside, etc?โ€™ย ๐Ÿ˜œ

It was clearly a spelling errorย 

He meant cask,

having said this , since the wonderful Chinese government banned red wine from Oz, the cheap red is much better.

not so good for the winemakers, swings and roundabouts, Covid and Demons premiers. ย 
we live in interesting times.

I doubt that is a symptom DC. More likely the result of the 57 years wandering in the wilderness.

With the covid thread slammed shut I am left to discuss the problem on here. Will we be able to attend games again the season. With the case numbers mounting will we get some sort of normal season? 2 weeks ago I thought yes now I am far from sure.ย

Good pick up Fanatique. I am at a loss to explain that gaffe. Perhaps I need a shrink of the Sigmundian school to undertake some delving into that slip.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
