Though I detest talking football here... I'll go with state of mind.

Our BRAND.. style is being decimated with withdrawal due to non availability.

My mind is actually quite tempt.

I don't expect much. It's often just that. It's not being.. pessimistic...not mfcss...not anything really;  just realistic. We aren't complete.. We fumble through. We trip

Those who know me here..

A beer on whether we make finals or not ?

Takers ?

I like beer by the way ;)

Alright BB. I don't drink beer, but how about this. If we don't make the finals, I will buy you a beer. If we do make the finals, you buy me the equivalent in bananas.

That is more than enough footy talk for one post in this thread, so I think we should turn to the crucial question of how many bananas is one beer worth ...

The Crows side looks good on paper. Walker and Mc Govern are big ins. One good out is Doedee, he is a very good player and is their  new Lever.

Yep, I think people underestimated how weak their side was last time, they were an injury riddled mess.

I feel your pain 640 MD. Bananas are one of the few fine things left and even those I can only consume in moderation!

Bananas,   Porridge without milk,   and plain Rice        all bland   but they do not upset my gut.      Unlike Melbourne losing two games in the same season to the same team by a kick after the siren.   upsets me greatly, !

It is easy to hate umpires if you are a Melbourne supporter. We lose games because of multiple free kick goals awarded to our opponents when we can’t buy one. I watched the Pies Tigers game today and was stunned at the refusal to pay obvious holding the ball frees yet we are penalised as soon as an opponent touches our jumper. It is a joke. Think of the Harmes 50 and goal and listen to the umpires warning players today not to infringe the zone when they already are in it. It is a joke. 

It just seems to me if you are a club that doesn’t rant in the media you get continually screwed.

Our club should have spoken up a long time ago, even last year to be honest. The squeaky wheel always gets the oil.

I wonder if BBO whilst Bitter...is still Optimistic ?

I'm not.

Of course I'm still Bitter bb you [censored]. In fact you can all shove your banana splits , bowl included, where they will cause the most pain.

Any more questions as to my Bitterness?

As to Optimism. I was so [censored] off after last Saturday, I've kept away from this forum, papers , radio etc all week. However, remarkably  we are still in the game.

It's Saturday night, I'm sober, I'm alone - I reckon we'll win

    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

    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.

    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.
