Hmmmm... sitting here in my abode in Europe with a raging hangover from last night. I thought it might be amusing to drink large quantities of grape juice from my latest vineyard find. 
 

a small place in the Rhône valley to the north of Avignon called Domaine Rouge Bleu. They produce a Grenache called Lunatique. Seriously, how could I not consume vast amounts?

Hmmmmm,you'll have a raging hangover after this game tonight!!!

How is it a lame duck game though? There's plenty to play for and we can still technically make it.

I can only assume you're quite a young chap BenF.  I do admire your optimism. 

A decent quality shiraz should do the trick.  There's still time.  Give it a decent breather about now.  Then a good old scoffing about half hour prior to the bounce.  This should help dull the forthcoming torment a little. 

After that it's just a matter of topping up as you go.  This will ensure the numbness continues till well after the final siren.

NOT reading this game day thread after the bounce will also assist here.

Sounds like a good find CHF, lovely Syrah in that part of the world too.

They produce some decent [censored] in that area. Some of the froggie's best but .... in reality world .... Aussie [censored] is better than most.

What are the chances we turn up for the fight tonight? Who knows really. GWS will look to pressure us for long enough...they will know our guys will toss it in if it gets really hard.

If we bring the can't be f%$&#d's right from the start then it will get ugly.

Are you taking orders CHF? 


The mood/tone of this thread seems more gloomy than usual tonight.

However, the optimistic Bitter would like to remind you ,that it is September and we are still in the game!

How often has that happened in living memory?

beautiful part of the world Rab. A friend of mine grew up in Nairn. Mustn’t be too far from where you grew up?

Hi DD. Fraserburgh, or as we say in our local dialect, The Broch. Like a lot of small coastal towns it's seen better days but the beach is a cracker with a big sand dune the locals call Tiger Hill. 

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm well and truly primed to have my Saturday night ruined.

It's only ruined if you harbour expectations Wise.

And if anyone here is going to harbour some expectations after the last two games, it will be me!

Seriously though, I'm not expecting anything out of this contest.

Did he do a hammy while warming up with the boys, GC?

Likewise. It's been a depressing rainy day so this will be the cherry on the top no doubt.

Can we take bets on when the first “ sack Goodwin post will come “.

TBH looking at our side I just can’t see how we can win this. It is a very ordinary side, at least on paper.

Lucky the rest of the day was so great. Sunshine, hanging out with family and friends, going out for coffee.... wait I’m in Melbourne, never mind. 

OK peeps. Let's get this over with. I trust we're all sufficiently fortified enough to endure the next couple of hours. If not then you've only yourself to blame.

My money is on after our first turnover for the night.

What is the real kicker is that the weather up there tonight is perfect.  Just rubbing salt in the wound.

Of course there's no Dew. We're not playing v Gold Coast.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
