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.

(c.c. @daisycutter)

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.

  • WHATโ€™S NEXT? by The Oracle

    Whatโ€™s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facingย ย intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, itโ€™s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.ย

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourneโ€™sย performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • 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.
