Ever the pessimist, I have no confidence about a win tonight.

I can’t wait for the umpires to pull out a performance of the ages.

I just see everything going wrong for us.

Wish I had a different mentality and love to be shown wrong.

Real name revealed at last!

Oh the salty curmudgeon has reappeared.

Ok I held a Tribunal hearing and in typical AFL fashion, went against the evidence and made up a decision.

I have banned my self for 7 minutes.

I will not appeal, as Carlton lawyers are unavailable.

Just the other day I had the option of salty curmudgeon but went with the pastrami sandwich instead.

Red, do this thread a favour and ban those [censored] emoji illiteracies !!!

Oh ..... also ban yourself for using one.

But that would just make them illicit illiteracies. An illicit illiterate is basically our opponents tonight.

I'm alarmingly relaxed about this game. Positively oxymoronic in mood.

Whatever happens, I suspect we'll see them again in a few weeks, if you take my meaning.

Yes and I am not enjoying it.

We really have thrown away a great chance at another flag, with a problem we have had for weeks and weeks, poor goal kicking accuracy. Additionally, a failure to go defensive in the last 2-3 minutes and flood the backline, is a blight on our coaching and leadership.

We were in a PF with 1 minute to go, what a complete lack of understanding of the situation, we showed.

Reduced to thinking about trades and Draft picks now.

FMD !!! As soon as I sort out some staffing issues at The Manor I shall give my full attention to this thread.

I am considering mounting a coup against Redleg who is failing to provide any direction or leadership.

I am too busy self flagellating after our finals exit.

I am happy though to join your coup.

Do you even know how to coup? You can’t coup yourself! It’s not a coup if you’re joining in to overthrow yourself. Silly bugger.

Sense of humour departed, has it?

Currently at a function at MCC. 
The Ox was first speaker. Told some stories about his gambling mishaps- funny and entertaining…. but the message was clear. 
Terrific speaker and entertainer!

Plenty of casks I hope.

Should I send the horse and cart to ferry you home to the manor, when the casks are empty?
