Been a mixed week so far for poor old Uncle Bitter.

1.I'm helping Biffen tidy up some of his messy business interests. Interesting but his promise of financial reward seems unlikely.

2. Visited my GP today and she advised me not to make any long term plans.

3.Finally some mirth. Pendles and his missus named their sprog "Jax" . FM where does that come from? I suppose the filth supporters will consider it sophisticated. Jax!!! FMD!!

that's apple iphone auto-predictive text for you, uncle

next they'll do away with teachers ......... just plug babies directly into a computer at birth and leave it to dr google and professor apple

and names will be replaced by numbers (just like footballers)

I could cope with that.

Make sure your passport is up to date and that your date is passable (in a doctor way)

I wonder which Melbourne will turn up on sunday.

The Norf one, and hopefully the Real one.

Just finished the week attempting to help Biffen tidy up his affairs at the Gat.

It's cost me fuel for the Merc, tolls, lunches etc. Plus the physical burden of moving his equipment.

Neither a word of thanks nor any of his promised recompense.

[censored] ingrate!

It's been a bad week for me too Uncle. A slight accident on the way home yesterday, taking a short cut via Merri Creek.

Well we can now wash ourselves of that silly game of football for the year. Was intruding on the serious pursuits; crosswords  jigsaws and truffle hunting.

Word from brethren north is the yellow cropping not as harshly affected by nasty weather as possibly might have been but dont expect cheap fruit. 

Might buy and freeze...one needs a supply for daiquiris ;)

Dear Uncle I got given a home made Shiraz called "Dirty Olman", circa 2011 I have had a glass of this previous and it tasted great. Given your social contacts and ability to move in ever diminishing rare circles of confounded conolutions, I wondered being of simlar volition to the main entreaty! Have you ever come across this delicious Drop?

Well picket, I've been called a "Dirty Olman" on more occasions than I can remember but, as to that particular libation, the answer is no.

Try a Cabernet next time. Has much superior genetic cache. Stop slumming in lowly Shiraz land.

I can't imagine picket drinking anything but cheap red Earl. After all, he is not of the genteel class.

Still we must indulge the hoi polloi from time to time I suppose

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
